Summer is winding down, which means the back-to-school scramble is just around the corner for many parents.
Here are three quick tips to help you get ready for the transition without losing momentum on your health goals:
Back-to-Bedtime. A good night’s sleep is essential for staying healthy. Start easing your little ones, and yourself, back into a bedtime and morning routine now. Going to bed just a little bit earlier every night will help offset sleeping issues that can develop during the school schedule change.
- Schedule Workouts. Once you have school and after-school schedules mapped-out, add your workouts to your calendar to keep your fitness goals a priority. Try incorporating a quick walk while waiting at kids’ activities; for example, a walk around the soccer field. Every step counts!
- Meal Prep. Sundays are a great time to prep, cook and freeze healthy meals so that they are ready for grab-and-go mornings or quick weeknight dinners.
