With summer in sight, more of us are feeling self-conscious about our bodies -- and will enjoy the season less as a result. That's according to a new survey commissioned by Anytime Fitness.

76% of the 1,000 respondents said that they feel the same or worse about their body image this year. Another 53% plan to "cover up everything they can" at the beach. That doesn't bode well for fun in the sun.

Despite a freakish May snowfall here at Anytime HQ, summer has pretty much arrived for most of us in North America. It’s the time of year when everyone wants to be outside biking, hiking, running, golfing, swimming, gardening, grilling, or whatever your chosen activity may be.

It’s all-too-easy to skip the gym on days like these. But we’re here to set you straight. Turns out that now might just be the very best time to get in the gym. Self-serving? Most assuredly. But that doesn’t make it any less true! Allow us to explain.

Let's face it, we are all creatures of habit. We love eating certain foods often and frequently. Heck, a while back I went through a string cheese phase and man could you see it in my diet tracker. To make things easier for you, we thought it would be a good idea to show you how to create a custom meal and how to add it to your diet tracker!

I love to make banana bread. It's one of the best ways to use up those "too ripe to eat" bananas. Plus it's delicious with my morning cup of joe! However, my specific banana bread is not in the Anytime Health Diet Tracker. And if I had to bet, I would guess that your recipe is not in there either. So let's learn how to add it in, shall we?

We're all busy.

Welcome to the New Year! Are you as excited as I am? Last week, I taught you the skills needed to create a solid resolution and the Anytime Health team created a worksheet that you can use to make your resolution a reality. But based on statistics, almost 50% of people will have abandoned or forgotten about their resolution by the end of the first week! In a few more weeks, half of the rest will have forgotten about their goals.

After weeks of eating, drinking, and being generally merry, it's time to start thinking about your new year's resolutions. Another year, and for many, another resolution or two. For most people, the resolution is the same each year: lose weight, get fit, eat healthier, reduce stress, and/or quit smoking. People make these resolutions at the beginning of each year and don't put together the right strategy/plan to make sure that they attain their goals. Changing behaviors and habits takes sufficient planning in order to succeed.
