Summer has arrived. With it comes longer days, less clothes and (hopefully) more activities. Staying active and playful is easier during the warmer months – we want to be in the house less and moving about outdoors more.<\/p>\n
Even if you can\u2019t make it to the gym to work on your summer body, there are plenty of ways to stay fit with functional workouts<\/strong> – even when you\u2019re on holiday. It\u2019s all about adapting to your environment – we\u2019re only as fit as our ability to do so.<\/p>\n No equipment and minimal space needed: this smart summer body workout can be done wherever you are<\/strong> in the world, using your own body as a fitness tool.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Effective and challenging, you can start off repeating this summer bodyweight workout two or three times<\/strong> to get started, increasing the circuits as your functional fitness increases.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Power-up your upper body, improve your posture and boost core strength by kicking off with some explosive push-ups. We often use our upper body less than our lower body, so it\u2019s crucial to strengthen it<\/strong> with moves like this. Learn how to do them the EVO way here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Settle deep into those squats<\/strong>: feet shoulder-width apart, feet turned out slightly, and hold with balance for 10 seconds a series of reps. These should be brought into every workout to build strength, flexibility and balance – it\u2019s arguably the most important functional exercise of them all. Our deep squat tutorial<\/a> will show you how to master it like a pro.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Time to get those abdominals into gear. V-sits are brilliant for challenging your middle section and quads<\/strong>, as well as the hamstrings. Turn it into full explosive movements for maximum impact – our explosive V-sit tutorial video<\/a> will guide you through each one with perfect form for a sculpted, high-toned summer body.<\/p>\n Rest for 10 seconds.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Get a concrete core, improve your coordination and fully activate your body for pure functional strength with bunny hops. It\u2019s the ultimate calorie-burner<\/strong> using your own body weight as a workout tool – here\u2019s a super speedy tutorial video<\/a> to get you started.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lunging and jumping are fundamental functional movements<\/strong>. Practice makes perfect and this exercise can be done anywhere. Our lunge jump with rotation tutorial<\/a> will show you the step-by-step instructions to maximise strength in your legs, glutes and thighs, boost trunk stabilisation and promote balance. You\u2019ll activate plenty of muscles and torch more calories.<\/p>\n Heading to the beach?<\/strong> Pounding the sand can add resistance to your workout – and nothing beats the ocean air when exercising. Our park workout<\/a> is a step-up from this quick anywhere workout – incorporating lunges and side planks for an even more demanding sweat-a-thon that delivers incredible results. Once you\u2019re done, you can dive into the refreshing seaside waters for an invigorating post-workout wash. Beats the treadmill anyday.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget to share your opinion with us via Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summer has arrived.
