Let’s be honest – summer’s got a rep. Between vacations, cookouts, heatwaves, and “just one more glass of wine,” it’s no wonder most fitness routines go MIA. But guess what? Your progress doesn’t need to melt faster than ice cream on a Kingston sidewalk. You don’t need a summer detox.You don’t need a fitness overhaul.And you definitely don’t need to give up your entire routine in the name of fun. What you need are sustainable summer habits that work with real life – not against it. 1. Shorten the Workout, Keep the Intensity No one said you need to train for a triathlon in 90° heat. Trade long, draining workouts for short, focused sessions.Try 20 to 30 minutes of strength training 3-4x/week, mixed with your favorite cardio or light movement. Pro tip: A quick dumbbell circuit in your living room beats that hour in the gym that you keep skipping. 2. Hydration First.
