'You do not have to be in the gym for an hour every night to get an effective workout: 30 minutes or even 15 is still plenty of time to release some feel-good hormones, break a sweat and get those muscles engaged,' says Goldsmith-Cottrell.

The really good news? Doing less workouts – and training for shorter bursts – doesn’t mean you’re falling short. Tunde says morning workouts are a good bet – that way you’ll be beating the heat and freeing up evenings. This will give you a nice dopamine hit when you’ve completed your workout and you can tick it off your to-do list.' So, make weekly workout scheduling a goal. 'Studies suggest you are more likely to achieve your goals by writing them down. Are you really going to get up to do a 6am spin class the morning after your best friend’s birthday BBQ? 'Think carefully and realistically about where you might need to schedule rest. 'Spend 10 minutes on Sunday evening planning your workouts into your diary,' suggests George Goldsmith-Cottrell (they/them), a personal trainer and online fitness coach.

With a bit of prep, you won’t need to worry when a colleague suggests after-work drinks or friends organise all-day picnics. Think about summer in terms of 'maintaining whatever goal you’re looking to achieve', he suggests, rather than thinking you must always be seeing progress. 'As long as you stay consistent, you’ll be good.' 'You have to live your life,' agrees personal trainer Tunde. But easing up a bit so you can enjoy the weather and socialising is absolutely allowed. If fitness is how you take care of your mental and physical health, it’s understandable to want to keep a routine. Worried it’s going to derail everything? Fear not: you really don’t have to choose between enjoying summer and staying committed to your fitness goals. But now summer’s arrived – and festivals, BBQs and seaside jaunts are filling up your diary. So you’re in a good groove with your workouts.
