3 Tips to Get Summer Ready

As the weather warms up and summer approaches, many of us feel the urge to get back into shape. At Elite Medical, we believe in doing it the right way — with health, safety and sustainability at the forefront. Forget crash diets or risky workout trends. Here's how to set yourself up for a strong, energized and confident summer with the help of your healthcare team.

1. Start with a Health Check-In

Before jumping into a new fitness routine, it’s important to understand where your body stands.

• Schedule a wellness visit: Our team can assess your vitals, weight, blood pressure and overall health markers.

• Review any medications or conditions: Some health conditions (like diabetes, asthma, or joint pain) may require a tailored plan.

• Set realistic, medically-supported goals: Whether it's shedding a few pounds, improving energy levels, or building endurance, we’ll help you make a plan that sticks.

  
  

2. Nourish, Don’t Punish

Nutrition plays a huge role in how your body feels and functions.

• Focus on whole foods: Lean proteins, seasonal fruits, veggies and whole grains should be the stars of your meals.

• Stay hydrated: Warmer weather increases the need for hydration. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day.

• Talk to our nutrition experts: We offer support for meal planning, weight management and medications. 

  
  

3. Move Your Way

You don’t need to train like an athlete to see results — consistency is key.

• Start small: A brisk 30-minute walk 5 times a week can make a big difference.

• Try low-impact options: Swimming, yoga and biking are great on your joints and great for the summer weather.

• Get guidance if needed: We can refer you to physical therapy or personal training programs tailored to your needs.

  
  

Elite Medical Tip: Don’t Forget Mental Wellness

Your mindset matters just as much as your muscles.

• Practice stress management: Meditation, sleep hygiene and breathing exercises all support your fitness journey.
