Summer is the perfect time to unwind, soak up the sun, and enjoy a well-deserved break. But relaxation doesn’t have to mean putting your fitness goals on hold! Finding the right balance between movement and rest is key to maintaining results, staying motivated, and feeling great all summer long.
Why rest & recovery matter
Rest is just as important as exercise. It allows your muscles to rebuild, prevents burnout, and keeps you feeling energised. However, taking a break doesn’t mean stopping completely—it’s about staying active in a way that supports your body and mind.
Tips to balance fitness and relaxation
1. Move in a way that feels good
Summer offers so many ways to stay active beyond your regular workouts. Try:
✅ Swimming or water aerobics
✅ Beach walks or hiking
✅ Light yoga or stretching sessions
✅ Outdoor activities like biking or paddleboarding
Curves member tip: Can’t make it to the club? Use the curves app to access at-home workouts and keep your routine on track—anytime, anywhere!
2. Listen to your body
If you’re feeling fatigued, swap an intense session for active recovery. Stretching, walking, or mobility exercises keep you moving without overloading your muscles.
3. Hydrate & fuel your body
The summer heat can dehydrate you quickly, so drink plenty of water. Eating fresh, nourishing foods helps support muscle recovery and keeps your energy up.
4. Workout with a friend!
Staying accountable is easier with a workout buddy. Plus, international friendship day (July 30th) is a great reason to invite a friend to join you at curves. Exercising together boosts motivation and makes fitness more fun!
