Summer is just around the corner—which means longer days, more sunshine, and the perfect chance to refresh your wellness goals. But let’s face it: getting into a healthy routine isn’t always easy. Between trying to eat better, move more, and stay focused, things can quickly start to feel overwhelming.
That’s exactly where Notion comes in.
With the right tools in place, creating (and actually sticking to) a wellness routine becomes simple and empowering. In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to build your own summer wellness flow using three of our favorite Notion templates: the Fitness Planner, Meal Planner, and the Advanced Second Brain.
Let’s build a routine you’ll actually love showing up for.
1. Start With Your Why: Set Intentions in the Advanced Second Brain
Before diving into workouts and meal plans, pause and ask: What does wellness mean to me this season?
The Advanced Second Brain Notion Template is the perfect place to start. Use it to:
- Define your wellness goals (energy, consistency, strength—whatever matters to you)
- Break these goals down into manageable, weekly steps
- Connect your fitness and nutrition plans to broader areas of life like productivity, personal growth, and self-care
You’ll create a system that supports long-term balance, not just short-term wins.
💡 Pro tip: Add a “Wellness” tag to your weekly review. This way, you can track how your energy, habits, and progress evolve over time.
2. Make Fitness Simple & Trackable with the Fitness Planner
Now that you’ve defined your goals, it’s time to move your body—your way. The Notion Fitness Planner Template is designed to make consistency feel natural, not like a chore.
Here’s what you can do inside the template:
- Plan workouts by day or by type (cardio, strength, yoga, rest)
- Track progress over time (weights, reps, intensity, etc.)
- Set monthly or weekly fitness goals
- Add reflections on how each workout felt to stay in tune with your body
Unlike generic workout plans that don’t adapt to your lifestyle, this planner gives you full control and flexibility. You can read more about why rigid templates often backfire (and what actually works) in our deep dive blog post here.
🌱 Start small: 15-20 minute sessions 3 times a week can make a huge difference over time. Build the habit first—intensity can come later.
3. Fuel Your Body (and Mind) with the Meal Planner
Fitness isn’t just about movement—nutrition plays a massive role in your energy, mood, and motivation. That’s why we designed the Notion Meal Planner Template to be as functional as it is inspiring.
Use it to:
- Plan your meals for the week (breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks)
- Save your favorite recipes and quick meal ideas
- Generate grocery lists in one click
- Track your food prep so you always have something ready to go
And because it's in Notion, you can link recipes from your favorite blogs, embed cooking videos, or even tag meals based on energy levels (perfect for post-workout recovery!).
🍋 Need inspiration? Create a “Summer Faves” section with 3-5 go-to recipes you can rotate weekly. Easy, delicious, and stress-free.
4. Sync Everything Into a Wellness Ecosystem
Here’s where it all comes together.
The Fitness Planner and Meal Planner template are already fully integrated inside the Advanced Second Brain. No more jumping between tabs or forgetting what you planned—your wellness goals live right next to your tasks, projects, and personal reflections.
Try this weekly flow:
- Do a Sunday reset in your Second Brain
- Review your wellness goals & journal wins from last week
- Open your Fitness Planner and schedule your workouts
- Open your Meal Planner and prep your grocery list
- Add any notes or links you’ll need to make the week smooth
Suddenly, wellness isn’t something separate from your life—it is your life. And it feels manageable.
Final Thoughts: You’ve Got This.
A wellness routine doesn’t need to be all or nothing. It doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to support you—your lifestyle, your body, your goals.
With the right systems, you’ll not only feel more in control—you’ll actually enjoy the process.
Whether you're starting fresh or leveling up, the right tools can make all the difference. And that’s what these Notion templates were built for.
