As temperatures are rising and the summer season is well on its way, many of us are trying to attain the body goal we’ve set our minds to. While every body is a beach body, if you’re looking to get in shape and be at your healthiest, here are five tips the fittest man in Jordan himself, Amin Attallah, has offered up to help you on your journey to sculpting and maintaining your ideal physique for the summer months (and beyond)!
The first step to getting your ideal body is by setting realistic goals. Focus on making manageable lifestyle changes that will help direct you towards your goal in the long run rather than just trying to find ways to get drastic results in the shortest amount of time. Having clear objectives will keep you motivated and on track to get to your goal with in a healthy and realistic timeline.
A healthy diet is important to control weight and maintain an overall healthy body. Always focus on consuming all types of healthy foods to maintain a well-balanced diet, which includes fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. And it goes without saying that it is important to avoid processed foods, sugary snacks, and high-calorie beverages.
3. Incorporate Strength Training
Cardio exercises are important for losing weight but so is strength training when it comes to not only weight loss but also sculpting and toning your muscles. Incorporate resistance training exercises such as weightlifting, bodyweight exercises, and resistance band workouts into your fitness routine. Focus on targeting all major muscle groups, including the arms, legs, chest, back, and core, to achieve a balanced and proportionate physique.
4. Stay Hydrated and Rested
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated, especially during those hot summer months. Aim to get at least 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your body to recover, repair, and recharge. Sleep deprivation can negatively impact your metabolism, energy levels, and workout performance.
5. Be Consistent and Patient
Consistency is key when it comes to achieving and maintaining your ideal summer body. Stay committed to your fitness routine, nutrition plan, and lifestyle changes. Understand that transforming your body takes time, patience, and dedication, and remember that setbacks are a natural part of the journey, so don’t be too hard on yourself!
