Between the cookouts, holidays, weekend celebrations, and an overall desire to not be indoors or in a gym, many people find themselves going through summer feeling weaker and weaker.

While the fall, winter, and spring months can make it easy to stay inside to do strength training, the summer sun often bekons people away from the gym and to enjoy the beautiful weather, ultimately to the detriment of their health, strength, and function.

But does it have to be this way?? Can you still enjoy the summer months without letting your health and fitness be put on the back burner?

You will learn super simple and practical things you can implement throughout your day to make sure your health and strength remain high even while your time in the gym stays low during the summer months.
