Making the Most of the Lazy Days of Summer
Summer is in full-swing, which means that the lazy Marine D3 Review days of summer are officially upon us! Whether you're summer plans involve relaxing by the pool with a good book and cold beverage, snacks of diabetes, getting some sunshine at the beach, or driving the kids from one summertime event to another, here are some tips to help you make the most of these lazy days while staying healthy and energetic!
Get in the Water: The summer is filled with activities that are centered around water. From water sports like sailing to simply jumping into the crystal clear pool waters you've been dying to test out, it's time to take advantage of water rather than sunbathe near it!
Swimming and water aerobics provide some of the best outlets for toning your entire body using water for resistance (rather than those clunky weights at the gym). Or spend some time in the water with your kids next time they jump in the pool...you'll be surprised by how toned your arms can get from tossing them into back flips!
Walk that Beach: Just about everyone takes a few days to get down to the beach each summer. Next time you're at the beach, don't just watch the sand crabs; get out and enjoy the sand yourself! Walking or running with diabetic footwear in sand not only helps to tone your leg muscles (the softer the sand, the harder it is to walk and the more calories you'll burn), but it will ensure that you get at least a little bit of cardio in between bouts of wave watching and book reading. Be sure to apply sunscreen before you head out for a walk; just 30 m
