Happy Summer!

Summer is finally here in Overland Park! Because school is out, the kids will be home, and many of us will begin to neglect our own routines. Is it more difficult to get your workout in during the summer, or is it easier because you can get outside?

My workout routine seems to change throughout the year depending on the weather. Obviously, I am more active during the summer because I am working in the yard, walking the dog, or kayaking on the lake! These are all excellent forms of exercise, but we must not overlook our stretching and rehabilitation routines!

Unfortunately, we see more injuries in the summer and fall because we try new activities; continuing to see your personal trainer is a great way to prevent these injuries. Your personal trainer can provide function tips to keep you safe while participating in summer activities. Even better, start training for specific activities a few months in advance so you are strong and capable.

What are your plans for the summer? Have you started training? Our certified personal trainers would love to help!
