Finally, the long-awaited summer arrives, although this year will be a bit different from other years. Still, even though it’s been hard to get ready for bikini season, you always have to keep taking care of yourself. Especially in these times. Let’s get ready for bikini season!
For me, this is one of the favorite seasons (and who wouldn’t agree?) of the year, thanks to having more free time and being able to focus more on enjoying myself and my hobbies.
Above all, what I like most is my “SIZEN SWIM” (hehe), meaning when I jump in to swim to clear my mind, enjoy, and relax doing what I love most. Swimming is one of the most complete sports, as many of you already know.
Besides achieving the cardio effect, you get great toning of the whole body. With the advantages of zero gravity in the water and the benefits this brings to the joints, which are the main parts affected by exercises like running.
Use sun protection!
In the outdoor pool, feeling the sun tanning your skin (remember the importance of using sun protection on your skin; if you’re going to swim, use water-resistant sunscreen or apply it a while before swimming so it absorbs) while exercising, or in the sea on those days when the sea looks like an endless pool. Those days are perfect for bikini season.
Remember that besides sun protection, you need to stay well hydrated, as we get dehydrated a lot (especially in summer) and hardly notice it, especially when we’re in the water. I follow the rule: every 30 minutes of exercise, drink at least 500 ml of water or isotonic drink. By following this rule, dehydration will definitely not affect your training performance.
2,000 meters is enough…
If you complete 2,000 meters of swimming or 45 to 50 minutes swimming with the short breaks I’ve marked in each training session, you will definitely end up with a great figure and, above all, an athlete-worthy cardio. 😉
You can combine styles every 500 meters, that is… 500 meters backstroke, 500 meters freestyle, 500 meters breaststroke, 500 meters with a kickboard using only legs.
Another day you can do style marathons, doing 2,000 meters of just one style. Can you do it? Of course you can!
Having more time, I also do different sports and since I’m not used to it, I usually need my SIZEN pressotherapy machine much more. So I thank SIZEN for allowing me to do much more sport than I do daily, take care of myself, and recover so well from one day to the next and be at my best to perform at my maximum.
A busy daily routine
My daily routine in this summer season usually is: getting up early to do the cycling session, training on the beach or running without much heat, you have to consider the high temperatures it can get in our country at noon, so you have to get up a little earlier.
After work, like anyone else… and at midday I take my swimming session and my time to disconnect. My bikini operation time, swimming operation. 😉
Later I go back to work and end my day with a walk on the beach with my music until reaching the most desired moment… and yes…. You already know it!!! That moment is lying down on the sofa and turning on the SIZEN machine so my legs can relax after the busy day, without a doubt… the best moment of the day – SIZEN Time makes me feel so happy and relaxed!!!
