Sun Rays and Suicide Days

I don’t know about y’all outside the UK, but the weather has been mint! In my area of South East England, we know officially that summer has arrived! The old school term is always mentioned: Sun’s out? Gun’s out! And why wouldn’t you. If you’ve been busting your ass in the winter and spring, show the world what you’ve done!

But its summer, I’m not feeling the whole gym thing.

Perfectly understandable. The last thing you want in the summer is to be stuck indoors. That doesn’t mean your routine should suffer. Still keep hitting the gym like you do. But your workouts don’t always have to be indoors.
How does one do such a thing?

If you’re a keen gym goer like me (Meat Head), then you should be aware that the summer is for cut, and winter is for bulk. Getting cardio in is boring! I won’t lie. I find it long and boring. That treadmill is the most demotivating thing I can think of. Take your cardio outside! The suns out! Get out there and go for runs in the sun. You’ll do your cardio and get a rocking tan to help bring out those cut muscles. My favourite cardio exercise is suicides. Never heard of them? Check the video. I walk down to the park, step on the field and make my markers, using bags, t-shirts and hats. Suicide it out! Keep the intensity up and core tight. These are a great cardio exercise and can melt the fat off your body. This exercise is used a lot in basketball. NBA stars and insane cardio! Why? Because they have been hitting suicides since middle school!

This leads to my next point: Sports! The sun is out. The grass is green. Get out there and play sports. It’s a great cardio exercise and can really show what your body can do. It’s all fun and games if you look good. But looks can be deceiving. Your big triceps may not mean that they're powerful. Your hard cut abs may not mean you have a strong cardio. My favourite summer sport: Tennis! Works all muscles of the body, works your agility, and you can play it hours on end without getting tired.


Cardio is a long process and you probably won’t see results as quickly as you would if you were building muscle. But it works. And changing it up will make it a lot more interesting for you, where you’ll start to love it. Obviously, keep diet and supplementation up to scratch, and you’ll be shredded for summer!
