Summer is here, which means it’s time to relax, soak up the sun and fire up the grill. With all that going for it, summer couldn’t get any better. Unless you keep reading to see our top picks for the perfect summer playlist, improving your grilling game, the most fantastic summer flicks and finding new ways to stay fit.
Tune into summer
Nothing complements a summer day like the perfect playlist. Here are a few of our classic favorites you can stream when you’re chilling by the pool or out on the lake:
- Chicago, “Saturday in the Park”
- Bryan Adams, “Summer of ’69”
- Imagine Dragons, “Eyes Closed”
- The Cars, “Magic”
- Blake Shelton, “Some Beach“
- DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, “Summertime“
Although these are a good start, it’ll be up to you to keep the tunes flowing by adding your favorite summer jams to the playlist. Where to start? Some fantastic music streaming apps include Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, and YouTube Music!
Upgrade Your Grill Game
Have you ever wanted to wow your friends with the perfect Smashburger or a slow-smoked brisket? Make this summer legendary by taking your grilling game to the next level. Step one is streaming videos from grilling experts like Steven Raichlen. Step two is firing up the smart grill or smoker and showing off your grill skills to your friends and family.
We’d also suggest asking our very own Brad Emerson for his takes on grilling excellence.
Classic Summer Blockbusters
Summer is great, but sometimes we need a break from heat. If you’re looking to cool off inside for a while, keep the summer fun going by streaming summer classic hits like:
- “Jaws”
- “Top Gun”
- “Dirty Dancing”
- “National Lampoon’s Vacation”
- “Grease”
- “Point Break”
If those don’t pique your interest, there’s plenty of other great content to stream while you’re chilling out. Check out streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Peacock or Disney+ to find the summer blockbuster perfect for you and your family.
Another great idea: Wait til the sun goes down and plan a family night streaming your favorite summer movie outside under the stars. Whether on an outdoor TV or projector and screen, enjoy cozying up and watching a feel-good comedy, adventure film or spine-tingling thriller. It’s sure to be a hit!
Stay Active Despite the Heat
Scorching temperatures don’t have to keep you inside. For workout inspiration, stop by the Clear Lake Athletic & Wellness and Fitness Center. Ask Tiffany Townsend, Makean Bang, or Matt Downing for tips. They have plenty of great ideas for workouts.
