It’s almost beach season, school’s almost out, weather is
getting warmer and people are flocking to beach sites. Some of you want that
beach body that gives you a reason to take your shirt off, go jump in the water
and make certain people make their heads turn. It’s a great goal to build a
cool looking body. For women they want that toned abs, sexy, legs, one hell of an ass and a chest that makes guys say “daamn.” For guys it’s the powerful
arms, washboard abs, legs that can go on forever, broad shoulders, maybe some
mighty mitts and a chest that makes you stand out. It’s human nature to have
attraction and magnetism so we focus mostly on the physical part. Not a bad
thing but there’s still something missing.
Physical
appearance has had its share of good and bad sides to it and some people will
do whatever it takes to look incredible but yet it costs them their health. Some
people get Botox injections, take steroids to build extra muscle and some even
get plastic surgery just to get a certain look but come on. We were made for a
reason and we have the choice to do what we want with it but in my opinion if
you truly want the confidence with your appearance, make the time and effort to
do it, gain strength both internally and externally along with being as healthy
as possible both inside and out, physically, emotionally and spiritually. If
you’re going to look like a cover model, might as well be strong to go with it.
When it’s
hot out, your body needs more water to hydrate because when you sweat, although
toxins are fuming out of the body, you still need to keep your body running.
Drink as much water as you can. Vitamin D is essential to your body’s nutrients
and the sun is perfect for that. You remember if you use too much of anything
it’s not good for you? Well the sun is no different. Keep your time out in the
sun as best as possible because if you’re out too much, it’ll get you burned
and you’ll be peeling skin for days.
Sun screen
is debatable when it comes down to it; there have been studies that it has a
chance to cause cancer so if you plan on using it, don’t use a ton. I rarely
ever wear it in the summer and I've done just fine, keep yourself in the water,
when you need to dry off, go for it but throw a shirt on to keep your torso
cool (don’t ever wear black, I've learned the hard way), put the towel around
your legs and just kick back in a chair or on the sand or whatever. A good hour
in the sun is pretty good as far as I know. If you’re planning on spending an entire day at the
beach, do intervals of being in water, drying off and keeping cool till the
next time around. Getting a natural tan is good so I’d stay away from those
shitty tanning beds, it’s not good for you so be safe.
For the
most part, have fun. Summer is about having a great time. Out with friends,
family, kick ass BBQ’s, going to the beach, playing ball, run on the sand, jump
off docks and best of all, kicking back in the sun and feeling like a billion bucks. If you want to build a body that you can be proud of, make the effort
and do it within reason, train hard, eat as clean as possible, rest up and be
yourself. Swimming is a great exercise and works the whole body from head to
toe, not big on swimming, lift weights, do some hand balancing, be a wild animal do whatever you want, it’s summer
damn it get your ass out there and make things happen for you.
