Summer is coming up and it is time to lose some extra pounds that as all normal human being, you have probably put on yourself during cold and nasty New York winter.

As a personal trainer with many years of experience, I have some tips and trick in my purse that I would love to share with you.

Do you drive? Park two blocks further than you usually do.

Do you have an elevator in your building? So just use stairs instead of using an elevator.

Wake up 10 mins earlier and do simple bodyweight squats, push-ups, jumping jacks. Even more, do those exercises when you have a small break at work, before bed or anytime you have a chance to shake those extra pounds up.

Yes yes, you’ve heard me right. When people snack they do not realize how many extra calories they could add to their diets.

Seven almonds here, a piece of sugar-free cookie there, extra protein bar with a cup of Caramel Macchiato from a coffee shop and here we go 400 extra calories are already inside and making their way to your fat storages.

I did not want to drop a bomb here but you should switch your tasty Caramel Macchiato with, for instance, Americano with Unsweetened Steamed Almond or Coconut Milk.

There are also many different sugar-free options for Flavored Syrops which would make your low-calorie coffee taste delightful so I bet you would not even feel any difference.

or if you already a member squeeze into your schedule 1-hour full body workout. And I think my advice of the day is to hire a personal trainer. Look at it this way, when you pay for services you would probably want to get them not just throw your money to the wind. As well as a professional personal trainer will help you to get in shape so much faster than you doing it on your own.

 Stay Healthy my friends. Julia Dars.
