Oh summer...

The season we prepare our bodies for the most.

On the other hand, it's also the season where we become more lenient with what we put into our bodies and how we treat it.

If you've had a summer filled with fun, food, booze, little exercise, more food, then you're probably looking for a reset.

Here are 5 ways you can reset and get back on track once summer is over!

1. Make Time For Physical Activity

This doesn't mean start killing yourself at the gym for an hour a day.  Just start  moving your body.  Start incorporating a walk in the morning or even some yoga at night.  Most of us are trying to get back into the groove of work and school for the kiddos that we forget to take care of ourselves.  MAKE. THE. TIME.  Schedule it in. Start with 20 minutes of movement and work your way up!

2. Create a Sleep Routine

Late nights, early mornings, travel and lack of sleep has your body feeling totally out of whack.  The best way to set yourself up for success the followin...

Consistency.... In training, it's the key to your fitness goals.

Consistency is arguably the most important component when working to accomplish goals in or out of the gym.

Without consistency, programs are unorganized, the body has a harder time adapting, and forming habits may be more challenging.

Building a habit of healthy, consistent eating can help people reduce weight variability and lose weight more consistently, even if it’s at a slower pace.

If you’ve paid attention to the health and wellness industries over the past couple years, chances are that you’ve heard someone talk about intermittent fasting.

So what exactly is it?

Basically, intermittent fasting refers to any diet that cycles between periods of fasting and eating for a predetermined period.

Many fast as part of their diet because it offers flexibility. It is an effective way to reduce total caloric consumption and can be much easier than trying to stick to a traditional reduced calorie diet.

Instead of strictly counting calories every day, intermittent fasting is all about when and how much you should eat.

And with benefits ranging from fat loss to improved focus, it’s a wonder that’s its become so popular in recent years?

When you are trying to lose weight, there are certain things you know you should do.

You give up sugar and junk foods in favour of eating more vegetables, lean protein and complex carbs.

You hit the gym regularly and try to move as much as possible throughout the day.

What you may not realize, though, is that getting enough sleep is a very important part of losing weight.

The amount of sleep you get directly affects your diet.

People who are sleep deprived tend to weigh more and have more trouble losing weight than those who get adequate rest, even when following the same diet.

When you don’t get enough sleep, your body over produces the hunger causing hormones lepton and ghrelin.

You could be more susceptible to overeating, while at the same time being less satisfied afterward.

People who get less than 6 hours of sleep consistently also show glucose and insulin levels and characteristics similar to diabetics, even if they are otherwise very healthy.
