Spring Into Strength: Fitness & Nutrition Tips for the New Season 🌸

Here are some top tips to help you feel your best this spring!

1. Take Some Time Outdoors ☀️🏋️‍♀️
With brighter mornings and lighter evenings, now is the perfect time to move some of your activity outside. A brisk walk can be a great way to soak up some vitamin D while staying active. Fresh air and movement are a winning combination for both physical and mental well-being!

2. Refresh Your Nutrition 🥗🍓
Spring is a great time to reset your eating habits. With fresh seasonal produce like berries, leafy greens, and asparagus coming into season, focus on colorful, nutrient-rich meals. Try swapping out heavier comfort foods for lighter, energy-boosting meals that fuel your workouts and keep you feeling great and if you need help in this area, talk to Kate or Nina about the nutrition programs we offer!

3. Stay Hydrated 💧
As the temperatures rise, it’s even more important to stay on top of hydration. Aim for at least 2 litres of water per day and consider adding electrolytes if you’re increasing your activity levels. Herbal teas, infused water, and hydrating fruits like cucumber and watermelon are great ways to keep your water intake up.

4. Set Fresh Goals 🎯
A new season is the perfect time to reassess your fitness goals. Maybe you want to increase your strength or improve endurance. Setting small, achievable goals can help keep you motivated and excited for your workouts.

5. Prioritize Recovery 🛌
With renewed energy, it’s easy to push hard in your workouts, but don’t forget about recovery. Quality sleep, stretching, and active recovery days are essential to keep your body feeling strong and injury-free.
