How to stick to your routine

As delightful as summer is with its beach days and spontaneous ice cream parlor trips, there's also a downside: you're inclined to exercise less.

Because the longer you do nothing, the harder it is to get back into it.

4. Quick workouts

You don't have to make day trips to the local gym. Keep it simple. You don't need to exercise as long as you normally do in the gym.
