Summer Is Upon Us

Memorial Day has passed and we are head first into summer!! Bikini season and neighborhood BBQ's are looming. Pull out the shorts and tank tops and get ready!!

Summer is the season for vacations! The kids are out of school and the beach is waiting. Just because you are on vacation doesn't mean you should take a week off training. Personally, I love going to 'new' gyms! I get my hardest workouts when I am in a new environment for some reason; it couldn't be my pride wanting to show out (haha). Any way, back to you...one of the hardest parts of training while out of town is having your supplements. After being in such a rhythm, sometimes it feels like a waste of time without protein, pre and post-workout supplements, especially with the regulations like they are on fights.

There are some simple solutions. Measure out your protein in little baggies so you aren't carrying around a tub of protein. Do the same with your other supplements and label the baggies, but make sure to put them in a large bag in case there are any punctures or accidents. That way you aren't shaking protein and Super Pump 250 out of your swimsuit!

Even if you don't plan on working out, you still need your supplements. It is too easy to miss meals or miss certain nutrients on vacation and it is unnecessary. Take your protein and help your body maintain your physique. A week off of training is bad enough without adding insult to injury by depriving your body of the tool to try and keep its progress!
