3. Experience the great outdoors: Getting in a great workout doesn’t require you to be a gym rat. This summer, ditch the gym and take your workout outside. Try out one of these #WarriorReady workouts, no gym necessary. Or, soak up even more of that summer sun by going on a hike or jumping in on a game of beach volleyball.
4. Beat the heat: It’s easy to get overheated during the summertime, which is why it is important to stay cool and hydrate often. Bored with plain ol’ water? Try adding fresh fruit, like lemons and strawberries, or mint to zest up your water.
5. Find your fitspiration: Whether it’s meeting friends at a group fitness class or getting new workout gear, figure out what motivates you to train and live a healthy life.
