As we start to emerge from our winter sweaters, thoughts of fresh new things start to take root.

Now is a great time to celebrate the season and explore some ideas to keep you on track with your weight loss goals.

Here are 5 ideas to revamp your fitness routine…

#1 Cool New Shoes

Who doesn’t love a new pair of shoes? Why not reward yourself for getting your daily walks in with a new pair of sneakers? Between velcro straps, old-school shapes and treaded platforms, there are plenty of options. What a fun way to put a smile on your face each time you prepare for your workout.

#2 Sparkling Spring Detox Water

Steal a trick from the spa and add infused water to your repertoire. Infused waters are wonderful for burning fat and perfect for clear liquid fasts. A fast can be an excellent way to do a little spring cleaning for your digestive system.

Try adding the combinations below to water, sparkling water, mineral water or even unsweetened tea or herbal teas.

• Thinly sliced cucumbers and crushed fresh mint leaves
• Thinly sliced lemon and/or limes
• Thinly sliced lemon and crushed fresh mint leaves
• Thinly sliced lemon and thinly sliced or crushed ginger
• Thinly sliced lemon, cucumber, crushed mint, a fresh sprig of rosemary

#4 The ‘It’ Drink for a Sunny Day

We LOVE coffee at Personal Trainer Food! We love it because it is loaded with healthy antioxidants that can protect you from disease¹.

Coffee can also help you burn fat². Stay cool and slim as the days warm up and sip on iced coffee. Here is a great Personal Trainer Food-friendly coffee frappucino you can make in your blender at home.

PTF Coffee Frappucino
1-2 Cups brewed coffee
1-2 Tablespoons non-dairy powdered creamer
Non-caloric sweetener, to taste
6-12 Ice cubes

Put everything in your blender and blend until smooth.
