Spring break has come and gone and summer now looms on the horizon…and with it that dreaded moment when you’ll find yourself shopping for a bathing suit.
Don’t fret, if you act now there’s still time to tighten up before hitting the beach.
Do these 5 things NOW to quickly get yourself into bikini shape…
1. Eat more Veggies: Your mom was right, eating vegetables really is a good idea, especially when preparing to shimmy into a bathing suit.
Why? There are a couple of reasons. First, veggies are low in calories and high in fiber, which means that you’re filling up without packing on pounds.
Second, the vitamins and minerals in fresh vegetables nourish your body and cut down on cravings.
2. Add five Minutes: Each week, between now and your beach debut, I want you to add 5 minutes to your workouts. Just five more minutes.
The slight increase from week to week will hardly be noticeable, but the extra fat burn will pay off nicely.
Use these extra five minutes to do intense burst of exercise, such as burpees, squat to presses and walking lunges.
3. Double up on Water: Not only will staying extra hydrated help your skin to have a healthy glow, it will also speed up your fat loss efforts.
Most of us are walking around in a state of chronic dehydration, which contributes to fatigue, stubborn weight gain and constipation.
By drinking more water throughout the day, and by limiting your intake of caffeinated beverages, you’ll become healthier, more radiant, and sexier in your bathing suit.
4. Eat low Carb (after 4pm): One of the easiest ways to drop a few inches around your waist before the warm weather hits is to eat low carbs after 4 pm each day.
This means eating dinners that are centered around salads and vegetables rather than breads and pastas.
If you simply must have your oatmeal or whole grain bread each day, then eat it for breakfast or lunch and give low carb dinners a try.
Don’t forget that sugar counts as carbs, so skip that sugary dessert and try a grapefruit for dessert.
