With the summer months in full swing the balance of enjoying yourself and keeping up a fit and healthy lifestyle can be a difficult challenge but not one that’s impossible.

The sun is out and the days are longer and you should be aiming to try and enjoy yourself as much as possible with friends and colleagues in the sunshine. So what happens to your fitness lifestyle when your friends are ringing and texting you to come and join them partying or on holiday?

Why not start by making your own plans with friends that might include some planned days out doing a physical activity like playing sports together or having a day out at the beach where you can jog or swim and keep your body active in a fun way. This way you won’t feel as pinned down to other’s plans and like your not being active enough during the down time.

With nutrition there isn’t a great deal that needs to change with your everyday life. When attending parties or BBQ’s just stick to the proteins and avoid the extra portions of carbs and sugars in bread and relishes and sauces altogether. Drink if you feel like you want to but again try to stick to low calorie versions of beers and spirits like vodka with a low calorie tonic mixer to keep in line with your macros if your are counting them.

Spending time with friends during the summer can be seen as difficult with nutrition but if you are eating out then take the time to choose your meals wisely and aim to use just two extra minutes to get some dietary supplement if you feel like you need the balance whilst your out.

You don’t need to sacrifice your lifestyle in order to have a good time with friends so make sure you find a natural balance and not a pressured one where you refuse to do things that may cause you to feel bad. You are simply enjoying yourself and you shouldn’t feel like you’re letting yourself down just because you are celebrating your journey and achievements.

Remember to do gym and intake dietary supplement, hanidan hopes you can enjoy your life!
