                     Temperatures outside are rising. Shorts and bathing suits are
beginning to be unpacked. That can mean only one thing-summer is on its way!
Summer brings with many wonderful things: long hours of day light, warm
temperatures and the opportunity to finally get back outside. But also can include
very busy schedules and limitations on your fitness routines.
So here are some suggestions for your summer time exercise regimen

Swimming, Swimming is a great way to exercise. Since water makes you weightless,
swimming won't put undue stress on your joints. If you aren't a fan of laps, you
might want to consider an aquatic fitness routine. This type of exercise uses water
as resistance to help strengthen and condition with the use of floating dumbbells,
kickboards or belts. These types of programs are usually offered at Rec centers,

Biking. This is another activity that doesn't cause stress on your knees and joints...
and you know what they say, you never forget how to ride a bike! This simple
activity helps to slim and tone your legs and is fun to do. The simple feeling of the
wind blowing through your hair makes you feel young again.

Walking/Running/Jogging Walking, running and jogging are good to do any time of
the year. If you are just starting out, don't bite off more than you can chew. Just
start with a walk. As walking gets easier for you, walking longer/further or circuit
training with jogging or intermittent sprints. If the weather is too warm, you might
want to consider doing your exercises in the early morning, when temps are cooler.

As with anything, it's always a good idea to check with your primary care physician
before embarking on an exercise program. You'll also want to be sure that you have
the necessary protective gear for your exercise of choice. (Examples: helmets for
biking, proper fitting shoes for walking.)

Don't wait another moment and start your exercise program for the summertime
today!
