Last-Minute Workout Tips for Your Summer Dream Body
While the saying goes that a summer body is made in winter, we believe that even at the last minute, you can achieve impressive results in shaping your figure with the right exercises.
In our latest blog post, we’ve gathered workout tips for those who have been lounging around but now want to get moving and achieve their summer dream body. Join us!
Running Workout Tips
Many people are put off by the memory of school Cooper tests, but we suggest giving running a try! It's a sport that can be done almost anywhere and anytime, requiring no special equipment or expensive gear. Running is not only excellent for burning fat but also improves overall fitness, increases endurance and lung capacity, and helps maintain cardiovascular health. If all this still hasn’t convinced you, let the numbers speak: while an hour of weight training burns about 300 calories, running for the same duration can burn 700-800 calories. Still have questions?
For Those Who Can Handle High Intensity
There are countless HIIT workout tips on the internet, so we’ve summarized the most important things you need to know about this exercise form. But what exactly is HIIT? HIIT stands for high-intensity interval training, which includes exercises alternating between high-intensity and low-intensity intervals in a specified rhythm/dynamic. It can involve cardio elements (e.g., running, cycling) and bodyweight exercises (e.g., push-ups, burpees, squats). It’s no wonder it's so popular, as its effectiveness can often surpass that of regular cardio training. Just make sure not to start without warming up, as the high-intensity parts require serious work, where injury is easy to come by!

Dance Your Way Slim!
Can you lose weight while dancing? Absolutely! Dance aerobics classes are perfect for those who are tired of monotonous workouts and prefer to lose a few pounds while having fun. The exercises generally don’t put too much strain on the joints or the cardiovascular system, making them suitable for both beginners and advanced participants. A big plus is that during dance aerobics, you not only work out your body but also your mind: the sessions typically build on basic choreography, which you can easily master with the help of the instructor. By focusing on the steps, you can leave your everyday worries behind for a while and fully enjoy the movement.

Always Remember: Warm-Up
Regardless of which exercise form you choose, never skip the warm-up! Warming up prepares your muscles and joints for the increased load they will soon face. If you skip this, you can easily get injured, which can prevent you from continuing to exercise. Be patient with yourself because if you’ve been lounging around until now, you won't achieve a supermodel body in just one week!
