Ready for Summer? Getting the results you need may not happen the way you thought!

Lately I've been getting some questions, and hearing a lot about people's summer slim down plans and I realized  there are probably some of you who could benefit from it from a post on this topic.

So here are SCB's tips to achieving your summer goals.

A few motivational words.

That is all.

Go The Extra Mile

Here in the beautiful Canadian province Prince Edward Island, we are enjoying some beautiful weather. With this nice weather comes the desire to get outdoors! However, we don't always have the extra time to plan an outdoor excursion with our busy schedules. So here are a few ways I like to keep active and catch some fresh air on a daily basis!

1. Pack your walking shoes! Try parking a litte further away from work or your daily appointments if you have a little extra time. You'll be surprised how those extra few minutes of walking can help you clear your head and get your blood moving! 

2. Dust off your bicycle! I love my bike. I use it all the time for transportation and recreation! It doesn't need to be too fancy or expensive, as long as it's in good working order. 

This is my ride! I painted it and put it together myself (I was a bike mechanic many years ago). The purple and gold combo isn't for everyone, but I think it's pretty slick!

Don't forget to purchase a bike lock and helmet too!

So try incorporating these activities into your day. Who knows, maybe those few extra calories you burn might be the stepping stones to a new you!

Motivation

I've been made aware that my fitness and nutrition blog has been recipes thus far. So, I decided I would make a more fitness-y post.

Today I'm talking about motivation. Specifically, my number one tip to help you become successful in achieving your fitness goals.

This tip is to set goals. High, impossible goals.

I know this might not work for everybody. However, if you set a super high goal, you might try that little bit harder to reach it. Even if you don't come close to it, you expect to come closer to your actual goals. And hey, sometimes you actually achieve these rediculous goals. Then It's double awesome.

Moral of the story: Set high goals, work your butt off to achieve them, no matter how impossible they are. You never know what you can achieve unless you give it everything you have.


Good luck!
