The summer holidays are here! With children and grandchildren off school and holidays on the horizon, it’s easy for your fitness, nutrition, and sleep routines to take a back seat. But maintaining your healthy living goals doesn’t have to be a challenge. Here are some practical tips to help you stay on track while enjoying the summer season.
Create a Flexible Fitness Routine
Plan Ahead: Schedule your workouts in advance. Whether it’s early morning, or evening, having a plan helps you stay committed.
Stay Active with the Family: Involve your kids or grandkids in physical activities.
Portable Equipment: Pack resistance bands if you’re traveling. These are lightweight and can help you stay fit anywhere.
Make Nutritious Choices
Healthy Snacks: Keep a stash of healthy snacks such as nuts, fruits, and yogurt. These are easy to grab and help curb unhealthy cravings.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially if you are spending time outdoors. Staying hydrated is key to maintaining energy and overall health.
Balanced Meals: Focus on balanced meals that include lean proteins, whole grains, and plenty of vegetables. Always try to incorporate fresh, healthy ingredients.
Prioritize Sleep
Set a Sleep Schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on holiday. Consistent sleep patterns improve sleep quality.
Create a Relaxing Routine: Develop a bedtime routine that helps you unwind, such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing mindfulness.
Comfortable Sleep Environment: Ensure your sleeping environment is conducive to rest. This might include blackout curtains, a comfortable mattress, or a cool room temperature.
Manage Stress Effectively
Mindfulness and Meditation: Take some time each day to practice mindfulness or meditation. This can help reduce stress and improve your overall well-being.
Stay Organized: Keep a to-do list to manage your activities and avoid feeling overwhelmed. Prioritise your tasks and don’t be afraid to delegate when necessary.
Enjoy ‘Me Time’: Carve out some time for yourself each day. Whether it’s a quiet walk, reading, or simply relaxing, taking time for yourself can help recharge your batteries.
"The summer holidays are a time for relaxation and fun, but they don’t have to derail your healthy living goals. By planning ahead, making nutritious choices, prioritizing sleep, and managing stress, you can maintain a balanced lifestyle while enjoying all that summer has to offer."

Testimonials
I have a whole new mindset since finding Cara Metz the menopausal fitness master, motivator who leaves you wanting more with her realness and amazing 15 min workouts !!!!!

What can I say. Cara Metz truly understands her tribe and approaches us all as individuals at the same time. This makes a huge difference when you feel so understood and supported, gives you a lift.
The group of women here, worldwide, are incredible. We all have our own ups and downs and the reward of being here is feeling genuinely cared for.
I lost my way about 18 months ago and briefly left the group feeling quite lost. It soon became apparent that I was menopausal and that Cara Metz was exactly what I needed! I rejoined and am a very happy woman for it, thank you to every single member.

Cara fitness has taught me how to understand the changes due to menopause and learn to love my body again through realistic fitness classes that have made an incredible difference. Meditation, that has helped me not to feel like I'm losing my mind . Cara has given you a sense of normality which is definitely needed at this time in our lives and she's created a community of women who are all going through these daily challenges and are incredibly supportive on the good days and the bad. In a nutshell, Cara fitness is just simply addictive.

Cara is encouraging, empathetic and kind. So happy to have found her app. It’s like having my own little personal trainer in my iPad. I actually look forward to working out now as the 15 minute workouts are manageable and worthwhile. There is so much content available and the programs are well structured. I feel committed, motivated and strong and I am excited to see my progress!! Thankyou Cara fitness!

A message from me, Cara, to you.
'Surely 15 minutes is not enough, what else do you do?'
This is the question I get all the time. It works because it allows you to stay consistent. All the time you put too much pressure on yourself to workout, you find it difficult to stay consistent because you tend to stop when life throws a curve ball your way!
AND LIFE ALWAYS THROWS CURVE BALLS!
Having the mantra 'it is just 15 minutes' let's you know it will be over before you know it! Therefore allowing a sustainable workout lifestyle to be born. We work on mindset and nutrition for women over 40 too and this will all become clear once you become part of the Cara Fitness family.
