Despite people generally wanting to pick up training in the spring to prepare their body for summer, summer itself is actually a great time to start training. This doesn’t necessarily mean in a gym either, it’s also the best time to start alternative style training outside. In this article we’ll explore the advantages of signing up for a gym in the summer, and even the different possibilities when it comes to outdoor workouts in the beautiful weather. If you didn’t find the motivation you needed to start working out in the spring, don’t get down on yourself; it isn’t too late. The summer is an amazing time to sign up to the gym. With the beautiful weather outdoors, the gym crowd tends to begin to shrink.

1.Squat: The squat is almost a must when it comes to working out, especially if you’re looking to develop your legs.

This could mean anything from writing down your weight month after month, or taking progress pictures every so often so you could see how you’ve transformed your body. Knowing how you’ve progressed is more important than you’d think. Having a photo, or something like weight written down from the past, or even a goal weight can make a huge difference. It’ll help your focus so much; like nothing else. When you’re feeling off, or like you don’t want to go to the gym, or eat that last meal, looking at where you were or where you want to be in a picture or on paper can get you right back on track. It’ll allow you to focus on what’s important and keep sight of your goals, and reasons for wanting to achieve them. Not only will seeing a large drop, or clean gain in lean muscle mass satisfy you, but it’ll push you to train harder.
