 The pressure of bikini season begins the moment we look in
the mirror for the first time and notice that our bums are not as high nor our
abs are as flat as they were last year.
If you are feeling ill-prepared this year, here is a jump start program
that will firm up the swimsuit zones and get you bikini ready in 30 days!Tone the Zone To achieve a great bikini body, you must tone the areas that
get the most attention. Quite frankly,
because you are half naked in a bikini, pretty much all areas of the body need
attention. Therefore, exercises that
engage all muscles of the body simultaneously are optimal and great time
savers. Perform a total body resistance
routine three times per week. In addition,
perform cardio exercises, such as walking vigorously, for 30 minutes 4-5 times
per week. Avoid the Bloat We all dread the bloated feeling that we may feel the day
that we plan on going to the beach or pool.
Avoid the bloat and keep the abs looking flat by reducing your sodium
intake. Salt is the number one contributor to bloating. Avoid foods which are gassy such as cabbage,
beans, milk, and foods which contain lactose.
Too many starchy foods combined with protein contribute to
bloating. Try not to drink anything that
is very cold, but keep it at room temperature.
Avoid overeating any type of food.
Portion control can reduce bloating.
Check to determine what condiments may cause your bloating, such as
mayonnaise and the like. Eating processed
foods such as macaroni and cheese can cause bloating due to its high sodium
content. Avoid diet sodas and
candies. Constipation may also be a
factor in bloating; therefore, eat foods rich in fiber. Drink chamomile tea, which is not only good
for the digestive system, but reduces bloating as well. Chew slowly when eating meals. The old adage of chewing 100 times may be
true. Lay down your fork between each
bite. Follow these tips beginning 30
days from the date you plan on wearing your bikini. Any sudden changes to your diet may cause
bloating. Prep the Skin
First and foremost, use sunscreen
of at least 15spf. No one likes a red
blistered bikini body. Self tanners are
great for giving one that extra glow; however, exfoliate before you use a self
tanner for optimal results. Although
cellulite is hereditary and has little to do with weight loss, you can slightly
diminish the “cottage cheese” by eating healthy, drinking lots of water, and
exercising. In addition, lather on the
lotion with cocoa butter after every shower.
Lastly, don’t forget about your back.
Avoid acne on the back by using a back brush to exfoliate and reduce
blemishes. You can use masques on your
back as well.
Sleep Ensure
that you get plenty of zzzz’s so that you will have enough energy at the beach
or pool to do all the fun activities.
Not only will 8-9 hours of sleep each night boost your energy, but will
also boost your metabolism. Follow these simple tips, and in 30 days you and everyone
else will be ready for that bikini! Powered by the e84 Challenge |
