If you’ve been riding the summer vibes a little too hard lately (hello, s’mores and skipped workouts), don’t sweat it. The good news? There’s still time to feel strong, confident, and in control before summer ends. Whether your goal is to shed fat, build lean muscle, boost your energy, or just feel good in your own skin—this is your moment.

At FASTer Way, we’re not about giving up or starting over. We’re about real progress, smart strategies, and turning momentum into results. Let’s dive into 6 simple (but powerful) ways to reignite your fire and finish this season strong.

1. Set a Bold Physical Goal to Work Toward

We love a good challenge. Why? Because setting a specific physical goal gives you a reason to train with purpose.

For example, this July, our FASTer Way VIPs are diving into Fit Wars—a full-body strength and endurance challenge designed to help you get stronger, leaner, and more confident with every rep. We’re talking:

• 100 push-ups
• 100 burpees
• 100 sit-ups
• 1-mile run

If you’re not a VIP (yet), use this as inspiration to set your own personal benchmark: whether it’s running a mile under a certain amount of time, lifting heavier, or mastering perfect-form pushups, pick a goal that excites and challenges you.

2. Lean Into Accountability—Don’t Go It Alone

When the summer schedule gets chaotic, accountability is the game-changer. That could mean:

• Texting your FASTer Way coach your goals for the week
• Checking in daily in the VIP community
• Sharing your training progress on IG stories
• Scheduling a weekly walk or lift with a friend

Inside the FASTer Way, we’re all about community over comparison. And we know that showing up gets easier when you’ve got someone cheering you on and keeping you focused.

3. Track Your Nutrition (Yes, Even in the Summer)

You can’t hit what you don’t track.

When it comes to fat loss and muscle-building, fiber and protein are the name of the game. Here’s why:

• Fiber (goal: 25g+ daily for women) keeps digestion smooth, balances blood sugar, and keeps you fuller, longer.
• Protein (goal: ~0.7–1g/lb of lean body mass) is essential for building lean muscle, stabilizing hormones, and supporting fat-burning metabolism.

Summer tip: If you’re traveling or out of your routine, prep some grab-and-go options like nitrate-free deli turkey, protein trail mix, or our FASTer Way Collagen (with added amino acids). They’re easy to track and keep your body fueled without stress.

Our FASTer Way to Fat Loss app makes this even easier with macro customization and nutrition tracking built in—so you can stay dialed in no matter where your summer takes you.

4. Track Key Habits That Drive Results

You don’t need a 10-step routine to feel amazing—just a few rock-solid habits you can track daily.

Here are the ones that make the biggest difference:

• Hydration: Aim for half your body weight in ounces (minimum 60oz). More if you’re sweating.
• Movement: NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) matters—get those steps in.
• Progressive Overload: Track your lifts weekly. Are you increasing weight, reps, or intensity? That’s what builds lean muscle.
• Sleep: Prioritize 7–9 hours to support recovery, hormones, and fat loss.

These might sound simple—but when you’re consistent, they compound. We recommend tracking daily inside your FASTer Way app or with a simple habit checklist.

5. Master the Summer Swaps

No, you don’t have to give up your poolside snacks or BBQ nights. You just need a strategy.

Try these:

• Mocktail Magic: Swap sugary drinks for sparkling water with lime, a splash of pineapple juice, our hydration mix, or a 
• Balanced Plates: No “naked carbs”—pair carbs with protein and fat (like dried fruit + turkey jerky + almonds).
• Smart Snacks: Build a trail mix with chicken sticks, edamame, dried cranberries, and coconut flakes. Add chocolate chips if you’re feeling fun—there are low-sugar options available now!

Simple swaps = less bloat, more energy, and fewer crashes. And bonus—you’ll feel way more in control heading into the fall.

6. Don’t Skip the Recovery

Here’s a FASTer Way truth bomb: muscle isn’t just built in the gym—it’s built during rest. Your body needs recovery to repair tissue, regulate cortisol, balance hormones, and help you show up with energy day after day. Summer tends to blur the lines between “go go go” and “crash and burn.” 

So here’s your permission slip:

• Take a rest day / active recovery day (Pilates, mobility or walking are perfect)
• Sleep in.
• Soak up the sun.
• Stretch, walk, and hydrate.

Remember: this isn’t about perfection. It’s about feeling your best and honoring your body—while still having fun. The second half of summer isn’t your “last chance.” It’s your next opportunity. Use this time to recommit to your goals, lean into the FASTer Way foundations, and have some serious fun doing it. Because feeling strong, energized, and confident is the kind of summer glow that never goes out of style.
