In our dynamic world, we constantly strive to maintain a balance between a busy lifestyle and our well-being – a balance that lends itself to the importance of personal energy management. Successful entrepreneur and health promoter, Lily Summers, is an embodiment of this delicate equilibrium, who shares how she upheld her energy levels during quarantine and transformed them into productive, wellness-focused endeavors.

Quarantine and Fitness

Lily discovered that being in lockdown eroded the excuse of time constraint. Keeping busy became more feasible as she found herself being able to exercise more and make her fitness businesses, ‘ShellFit’, and ‘InPocket Activewear’ flourish online.

Before the pandemic, workouts were synonymous with the gym. But with at-home workouts saving the day, her fitness schedule jumped to four or five workouts per week from three. Hosting workouts for her clientele proved second nature and engaged her digital fitness community.

The Post-Lockdown Fitness Landscape

While the fading specter of restrictions sees us returning to gyms, Lily prefers to hold on to her in-house workout routine. However, the allure of gym classes – with the adrenaline rush of people around – and the opportunity to learn from others still entices her.

Zoning in on our evolving fitness needs, she is introducing an innovative ‘back-to-the-gym’ audio session, turning into a virtual personal trainer. This is coupled with running clubs, marking an interesting balance between digital and physical interaction.

Nutrition and Energy

The integrity of maintaining consistency in energy levels is deeply embedded in Lily’s view of personal health. She stands by her tenets: health, fitness, and nutrition. Evidence demonstrates that 45% of folks felt more tired during the pandemic despite having more time at home, which may be attributed to poor nutrition.

It’s alarming that one-third of individuals don’t realize the role nutrition plays in our energy levels. Food and its impact on how we feel is vital, states Lily, who aims to inculcate such nutritional wisdoms in her future children.

What’s On The Plate?

The wellness pioneer advises against irregular patterns of unhealthy snacking. Diet directly correlates with achieving fitness goals. Her mantra is three wholesome meals a day with healthy nibbles in between. A chief advocate for high-protein diets for fueling workouts, Lily endorses almonds as they provide 6g of plant-based protein in a 30g portion. She also urges to restrict sugar intake and eschew processed food.

Lily has teamed up with ‘Golden State Almonds’ to emphasize the link between diet and energy levels. Through her Instagram, she continues to share invaluable information on staying healthy and fit.

Remember, energy management begins with you. How will you fuel your day?
