Getting That Bikini Body In Time For Summer

When it comes to times of the year that weight loss goals and resolutions are popular, it happens at two main points of the year: New Years, and before the summer.  For New Years, people always do their New Years resolutions hoping to lose weight and get in shape. 

Another time people make the same goal is before the summer, in order to look great.  Some people though, just don’t know what they need to do to get that bikini body that they want.  Well, I am here to help you out with that, and if you take this advice, everyone will be checking you out on the beach this summer.

The first step is to get your nutrition in check.  The first thought is to starve yourself, but in fact, that will do the opposite.  Sure you’ll lose a few quick pounds, but your body will start realizing the lack of food and then start storing any food you do eat and holding onto any fat that you do have, which will halt your weight loss.  You still need to eat, you just need to have control over your portions, and count your calories each day to make sure that you are not eating too much.

You also need to exercise in order to get that hot bikini body you are craving.  No, not just a yoga class, pilates class, or running on a treadmill or elliptical for a long time.  You’ll need to have some sort of resistance training  in your workouts.  Using weights is a great way to do that.  If you focus on smaller (but still challenging) weights, and higher reps with each weight, then you won’t become big and bulky. You’ll get nice and toned, and that extra lean muscle mass will help you to burn the fat quicker.

Follow these steps, and you’ll have that great bikini body when you do hit the beach this summer!
