The heavy rain, happy hours and stress eating over binging on your favorite TV shows are taking a toll on your health routine. I get it! It’s not easy to prep for the warmest months of the year, pool parties and outdoor activities that require tighter clothing when we’ve been trapped indoors for most of Spring. Fear not, I’ve got some easy tips and tricks for making this Summer your healthiest yet. (Notice I didn’t say skinny because that’s not a goal, health is.)
I’m about to lay down the law on how eating well, drinking your greens and getting your fitness on a few weeks before Summer can be super simple.
My favorite routine as of late has been the Daily Greens 4-Day cleanse. I know the dreaded ‘c’ word can be something to fear, but on this plan you get to eat. Heck yes! Besides, they press 6 pounds (9 servings) of raw, USDA Organic Certified and Non-GMO Project Verified produce into every 16 oz bottle of Daily Greens core green juices. The company owner Shauna Martin just released her book, Daily Greens 4-Day Cleanse, and I am such a fan. The book breaks down anything and everything one may need to know about this safe and gentle cleanse. It also includes four Seasonal Cleanse Menus and collaboration with nutrition expert Lauren Minchen, MPH, RDN, CDN.
Eating is a cinch too! My go-to greens come from Crisp Salad Co. at their new Park Lane location. My favorite salad bowl is the ‘Superfood’ packed with Grilled Shrimp, Spinach, Quinoa, Marinated Apple, Grilled Sweet Corn, Black Beans and a Lemon Vinaigrette. Always fresh, always healthy. The folks at Crisp Salad Co. really know their stuff and everything is sustainably sourced as well. Now there is a power meal to feel great about!
Let’s get your butt in gear and put the pedal to the medal. Fad spin classes are easy to be found around Dallas. I don’t go to the spin studio to look cute or have a social hour, I am there to put in work! Especially with swimsuit season around the corner, I’ve got no time to worry about looking pretty while burning major calories. Enter my favorite way to ride a bike in town, Flywheel Sports. I’ve sung their praises before so I don’t need to reiterate just how amazing their classes are. As a 4 year member, I can testify to the ability of a 45-minute Flywheel class to get my abs tight, my booty right and feel ready to take on the Summer. Can I get an Amen?
Oh, and let’s not forget my favorite way to relax and cool down once I have eaten right and finished riding my bike. I didn’t believe I could love a Korean spa experience until I visited Spa Castle. I spent the day their recently trying out their relaxing, detoxifying spa and had such an amazing time! Don’t miss the Hot Stone Massage and all their saunas. Learn to love the ‘ahhhh’ part of relaxing after kicking your butt and eating right!
Go take on Summer with confidence!
