Schools out for the summer! It is a wonderful feeling and the best time to relax and recuperate after successfully completing two semesters.  The summertime is the best time to begin or continue fitness routines. You do not have time constraints between classes, assignments to focus on, and meetings to attend.  Taking time for yourself is important, but taking consistent time for your self should be the constant goal.   Physical and mental health is equally important during the summer months.  With classes not in session, your lifestyle may become more sedentary.  It is important to keep your body and mind sharp.  Below are tips to keep your mind and body sharp during the summer months.
