Summer means BBQs, lazy afternoons on a sun lounger and cocktails by the pool… But that’s no reason to give up on exercise! If you want to keep your body looking its best all summer long and keep fighting cellulite, you need to keep moving. So why not use the holidays as an opportunity to try some surprising summer sports that are perfect for a goddess-worthy figure? Browse our selection and pick the one that suits you best.
Stand up paddle — one of the must-try summer sports
This sport, straight from the United States, has been taking our beaches by storm for a few years now. As the name suggests, stand up paddle involves paddling while standing on a large surfboard-style board. The board’s stability makes it accessible to everyone. It’s a full-body workout from head to toe, helping to firm your skin, tone your body and refine your silhouette.
Wakeboarding
Wakeboarding takes some practice to master, but given what it does for your body, it’s well worth giving it a go! This summer sport staple involves “surfing” on a board towed by a motorboat. Wakeboarding works every muscle deeply — arms, back, abs, shoulders, glutes, legs — every part of you is engaged to hold on and resist the pull. That makes it a great activity for slimming your silhouette and toning your skin.
Aqua hiking
Hiking — we all know it. But aqua hiking? Maybe a little less so! Yet this summer sport is perfect for saying goodbye to cellulite on your lower body, hello to sculpted legs and a firmer behind. In practice, aqua hiking means walking through water up to waist or hip height. The activity combines muscle strengthening with the natural massage effect created by movement underwater, making it an ideal combo for firmer, more toned skin.
Plumfoot
Plumfoot is one of those summer sports that blends several disciplines: football, volleyball and badminton. Originally from Asia, it involves hitting a shuttlecock back over a net before it touches the ground — all without using your hands! Plumfoot is a serious calorie burner, helping to eliminate stubborn bumps and dimples.
Frescobol
If there’s one country that knows its summer sports, it’s Brazil! Frescobol comes straight from Rio and promises a body worthy of the stunning Brazilians who play it… It’s a racket game where players simply rally a rubber ball back and forth. It sounds easy, but in reality this activity burns a serious amount of calories and helps tone your figure while targeting fat.
So, which of these summer sports are you going to try? With so many options, there’s absolutely no excuse to stay glued to your towel!
Alongside regular physical activity and a balanced diet, if you want to tackle cellulite effectively, it’s also essential to break down deep-seated fatty deposits so your body can drain and eliminate them.
