The Best Workouts to Get Summer Ready

Maximize Fat Loss, Build Lean Muscle, and Feel Incredible This Summer

There’s something about summer that inspires a reset. The longer days, the sunshine, the swimsuits—suddenly, you’re motivated to move, to sweat, and to feel your best. At SkinnyBox, we know how powerful movement can be—especially when paired with smart nutrition. So if you’re looking to boost your results and get “summer ready” in a way that’s energizing, not exhausting, here’s what we recommend:

1. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

Why we love it: HIIT is the ultimate fat-burning, metabolism-boosting workout. In just 20–30 minutes, you can torch calories and keep burning long after your workout ends. Think short bursts of intense effort followed by quick recovery.

Try it:

• 30 seconds squat jumps 
• 30 seconds rest 
• 30 seconds mountain climbers 
• 30 seconds rest 
• Repeat for 20 minutes 

SkinnyBox Tip: On your Liquid Days, keep it low-impact or cut your HIIT time in half if needed. Recovery is key.

2. Strength Training

Why we love it: Muscle is your metabolic BFF. The more lean muscle you build, the more calories you burn—even at rest. Plus, strength training helps tighten and tone for that defined summer look.

Focus on:

• Compound movements like squats, lunges, pushups, and deadlifts 
• Lifting to fatigue (yes, it should feel challenging!) 
• 2–4x per week 

SkinnyBox Tip: Protein is critical. Make sure you’re hitting your protein goals during your regular 1MEAL and liquid 1MEAL to support lean muscle growth.

3. Walking (Yes, Really!)

Why we love it: Never underestimate the power of a daily walk. It reduces stress hormones, supports fat loss, and gives you a chance to unplug. If you’re doing intense workouts, walking helps balance your nervous system and promote recovery.

Try this:

• 20–45 minutes a day 
• Morning walks to jumpstart your metabolism 
• Evening walks to wind down (bonus: it helps with cravings!) 

4. Core + Mobility Work

Why we love it: A strong core supports every other workout you do, and mobility prevents injury and keeps your body fluid and free. Plus, these sessions are perfect for recovery or slower-paced days.

Try this:

• 10-minute core blast (planks, bird-dogs, crunch variations) 
• 15-minute dynamic stretching 

5. Workout Stacking with Your SkinnyBox Protocol

Why we love it: When you combine the right workouts with our EZ123 protocol, you create a powerful fat-burning trifecta. The goal isn’t to work out more, it’s to work out smarter.

A sample weekly rhythm might look like:

• Monday: Strength 
• Tuesday: HIIT 
• Wednesday: Walk + Core 
• Thursday: Strength 
• Friday: HIIT (shorter) 
• Saturday: Active Recovery (walk, yoga) 
• Sunday: Rest 

Remember: Summer-Ready Is a Feeling

Looking “summer ready” isn’t just about the mirror—it’s about confidence, energy, and momentum. Whether you’re showing up for a sweaty HIIT session or taking a mindful walk on a Liquid Day, every step counts.

Pair these workouts with the SkinnyBox EZ123 Fat Burn Program, stay consistent, and you’ll feel the shift before you ever see it.

Cheering you on,
