Simple ideas to get in
shape this summer
(BPT) - Getting in shape for sum-
mer is more than just feeling good
in a swimsuit. It’s being healthy so
you can participate in all the fun
activities that come along with the
warmer weather.
From hiking to swimming, you don’t
want to miss out on any of the
summer fun. Eating right is a great
way to ensure you’re healthy and in
shape for summer. Use these easy
healthy-eating tips to work your
way toward healthier living.
1) Eat a high-protein breakfast
A Tel Aviv University study found
that adding whey protein to your
breakfast can help you slim down.
What’s more, you’ll feel satisfied
for longer. Record-setting long dis-
tance runner Jordan Hasay eats
the same whey-protein-powered
breakfast before each of her rac-
es. Try out the recipe for yourself:
French vanilla BiPro, cinnamon
oatmeal, fresh fruit, peanut butter
and flax seed.
2) Give your workout routine a jolt
A growing body of research shows
that having caffeine before ex-
ercise can improve athletic per-
formance, whether you’re lifting
weights or doing an endurance
workout. A study in the journal
“Nutrients” found that cyclists who
consumed caffeine were able to
pedal for an average of 23 percent
longer than other bikers. Another
study, from the “European Journal
of Sport Science,” indicated that
pre-workout caffeine can increase
muscular force and power. More
research from the “American Jour-
nal of Physiology” even shows that
consuming caffeine before a work-
out can help accelerate fat loss!
3) Join a workout challenge
There are all kinds of great fitness
challenges online, which offer
nutritional tips and workout advice.

4) Avoid late night snacking
One of the easiest ways to eat
healthier is by cutting out un-
needed snacks. If you watch TV
at night, it’s pretty easy to grab a
bag of chips
