Sometimes, without even realising it, we pick up great healthy habits over the summer (no, daily aperitifs don’t count!) that would be a real shame to leave behind come September. Here’s a look at 6 good habits you’ve probably adopted during your holidays — and that you absolutely should hold on to!
Going on long walks
Summer is the perfect season for long outdoor walks. Seaside, mountains, countryside… Lacing up our trainers and exploring the surroundings is often one of those great habits we naturally fall into on holiday. And you may not know it, but walking is an excellent activity for slimming down and tackling cellulite! Of course, to really make it count, you need to keep a brisk pace and resist the urge to stop every 100 metres — but it’s a brilliant habit to carry into the new season. Take the dog out, rediscover your neighbourhood, or walk to work… You’ll find that, with a little thought, there’s always a good reason to get your steps in!
Staying well hydrated — a habit worth keeping
This one is a summer staple! Drinking plenty of water is something we often do without thinking when temperatures rise, and it’s definitely a habit worth holding on to. Staying properly hydrated helps curb cravings, fight fatigue, support digestion, flush out toxins and reduce water retention. So don’t put away that water bottle you carried everywhere on holiday!
Making time for yourself
On holiday, we tend to carve out more time for ourselves and for taking care of our bodies. This is one of the best habits to bring back into your everyday routine! By choosing the right skincare products, you can turn your self-care moment into a powerful ally against cellulite and for a slimmer silhouette. Just a few minutes a day is all it takes to build a skincare routine that helps you feel your absolute best in your own skin!
Loading up on fruit and vegetables
Watermelon, melon, strawberries, tomatoes, cucumber, salad… Summer is THE season when we reach for fruit and vegetables the most! Fresh, light, easy to prepare and take on the go, they’re a favourite for all ages during those long sunny days. So don’t let this habit slip away in September! Eating plenty of fruit and vegetables will help you put together healthy, figure-friendly meals. Of course, opt for seasonal produce and bid farewell to watermelon for now…
Trying new sports and activities
We’d bet that this summer, you tried at least one sport you don’t usually do! From rollerblading and paddleboarding to beach volleyball, kayaking or hiking, holidays are the perfect time to get active while having fun and shaking up your routine. Keep that momentum going this season and don’t hesitate to explore new sports and activities! It’s a great way to tackle stubborn areas and cellulite without ever losing your motivation.
Swimming
Finally, one of the best summer slim habits to carry into the new season is, of course, swimming! During the holidays, many of us head to the pool for a dip and a few laps to cool off. Well, the good news is that swimming is an ideal activity for slimming down and saying goodbye to cellulite! So don’t pack away your swimsuit just yet — head to your local pool and sign up for a membership to keep that summer body feeling all year long.
With these healthy summer habits, you’ll feel on top of your game in your own body all year round, ladies!
