My best get in shape for summer tip is to increase your strength training. It will help you to burn more calories and help to shape your body!

i stopped drinking soda or anything too sugary, same with food. i bring my son outside and he is very active so i chase him around. an active kid is always a good way to help you get into shape

Get rid of the car, bike or walk every where

My best tip is to fill up on summer fruit. I love sugary things and watermelon is best to satisfy my sweet tooth, and it's the best snack in the summer.

Jenny 5-18-2010 @ 1:24PM

My best tip is to do both strength and lots of cardio and fill up on fruits, veggies, and lean protein!

Katie 5-18-2010 @ 8:24PM

My best tip is to get outside as much as possible- walking, running, gardening, swimming, etc. They all burn calories!

Cynthia 5-18-2010 @ 2:03PM

Avoid sugar, too many refined carbs, and be sure to get out and play!

To get fit for the summer I get off my butt and Move, Move, Move in combination with eating healthier food.

aburley 5-18-2010 @ 2:21PM

I vary my workouts to include running, cardio, strength, yoga and add swimming to keep my body guessing.

bhegerty 5-18-2010 @ 3:27PM

Hanging out with my kids!!! Swimming, hiking, biking, tennis, frisbee golf....the activities are endless!!

Robin 5-18-2010 @ 3:17PM

I am doing a workout that combines yoga with weights.

Jenna 5-18-2010 @ 3:35PM

Since it's summer, instead of making baked goods in a hot kitchen for desserts and snacks, make healthy fruit smoothies. They'll cool you off, and they're low calorie!

Nikki 5-18-2010 @ 3:49PM

Summer tip= Bring healthy foods to BBQs or picnics so you know there is at least something you can nibble on that's good for you

Kimberly 5-18-2010 @ 5:04PM

Combine weight training with cardio. Eat every few hours with the right combination of protein/carbs/fats. Lots and lots of water

Mandy 5-18-2010 @ 9:13PM

I like to work out 5 or 6 days a week and eat healthy dinners to get in shape for Summer! :)

Use half or more of your lunch break to walk briskly.

I cut down on my calorie intake, increase my fiber, and do cardio at least 3 times per week. And I make sure to park my car away from the stores so I have to walk!

Jackie 5-23-2010 @ 10:30PM

best tip..portion control and adding cardio into your daily routine

The Bear Crawl and moving on "all fours" sounds great. I'm ready for the curious gazes from our kids when they see me crawling the hall-ways of our home :)
I like the optimal fat loss nutritional information you've offered on this website. I'm already walking 45 min every night with my husband and dog but I'd like to add more sweating by running on our treadmill and learn how to incorporate some weight training. Finally, at 48 I hope it's not too late to achive some form of communication with my hormones? I really hope to loose 2 clothes sizes.
