🌞 Staying Healthy & Active This Summer

 Summer is here—and with it come long, sunny days, warm evenings, and endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

It’s also the perfect time to take charge of your health, move more, and refresh your habits.

Whether you’re relaxing by the beach, travelling, or enjoying a staycation, here are five easy ways to stay healthy and active all summer long:

πŸ‰ 1. Fuel Your Body with Fresh, Seasonal Foods

One of the best parts about summer is the variety of fresh produce available. Watermelon, berries, peaches, tomatoes, cucumbers—the list goes on!
These foods are naturally hydrating, packed with vitamins, and perfect for light, energising meals. Try adding more raw salads, smoothie bowls, and fresh juices to your routine.

πŸ’§ 2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

When it’s hot, your body loses more water through sweat. Staying hydrated isn’t just about quenching thirst—it’s about supporting digestion, maintaining energy levels, and keeping your skin glowing. Aim for 2–3 litres a day, and add a squeeze of lemon or a few mint leaves for a refreshing twist.



πŸ– 3. Move Your Workouts Outdoors

You don’t have to be in a gym to stay active!
Summer is the perfect excuse to explore outdoor activities—swimming, hiking, paddle boarding, cycling, or even a sunrise yoga session on the beach. Fresh air and sunshine make exercise feel less like a chore and more like an adventure.

😎 4. Protect Your Skin

Healthy living isn’t just about what you put inside your body—it’s also about taking care of the outside. Sunscreen should be a daily habit, even on cloudy days. Don’t forget sunglasses and a hat for extra protection, especially during midday hours when the sun is strongest.

πŸ’€ 5. Prioritise Rest and Recovery

Summer often means busier days, social events, and later nights. But your body still needs time to recharge. Try to stick to a consistent sleep schedule, and listen to your body—if you’re feeling tired, slow down. Remember, rest is part of a healthy lifestyle.


πŸ’‘ Final Tip: Choose activities and foods you enjoy. The more fun you have, the easier it is to stay consistent!

Here’s to a season of sunshine, energy, and feeling your absolute best.

🎯 Set the Goal. Become the Person.

  Healthy Vibes. Chilled Lives. Here’s a little truth bomb from Jim Rohn that completely changed how I look at goal-setting: “The major reason for setting goals is what it makes of you to accomplish them.” Let that land. ✨ It’s not just about the number on the scale, the bank account, or the dream house. It’s about who you become in the process — more focused, more confident, more you . 🌿 At Fit ‘N’ Chill , this is how we do goals: ✅ 1. Write it down. Yes — with a pen! Your brain locks it in better when you physically write your goals. Keep them where you can see them (mirror, journal, phone screen... wherever works for you). 🧭 2. Know your WHY. Don’t just chase the goal. Understand why it matters . Do you want to feel strong? Confident? Have more energy for your kids? Anchor into your “why” and the “how” becomes easier. 🧩 3. Break it down. Start small. One shake a day. A 10-minute walk. Swapping soda for water. Big goals are achieved through tiny, consistent...

Day One - It's all about Mindset!

 My Fit N Chill journey began some years ago, when I began to work on my weight loss. I had become bloated and weighed at least 15 kg more than my desired weight.  I was also on a whole load of toxic patterns, become involved in a number of toxic situations that were no longer serving me. It took a few years to actually have the courage to realise the toxicity which was affecting my health. And ultimately, my wellness. I was in an awful state all-round. A painful break up triggered work on my mindset. It was not some namby-pamby journey but true self-development.  I did work on Mindvalley and with Jackey Backman , two powerful resources that helped me push through, not only grief, but the release of what no longer served me.  Months later, I left a job that was mostly causing me grief - and refashioned what was left into friendship. All the while, I used all the skills I had - and all that was available to me online - to be able to move forward.  I even attended...
