10 Easy Steps to Your Best Summer Body
Getting your body ready for bikini season will take some hard work and dedication, but it doesn’t have to be torture. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, tone up, gain confidence, or just feel healthier, we’ve got the tips and tricks you need to make it happen. Take a look at the following 10 Easy steps to your best summer body……
1. Have A Plan
2. Write down your workout schedule
First and foremost because keeping a journal accelerates the learning process. Starting a new workout routine can involve learning new skills and new jargon. By writing down your workouts you are taking an additional few minutes to process what you have learned, repeat the concepts and terminology to yourself, and engrain it into your brain.
3. Track your goals and accomplishments
4. Get a workout partner
This will keep you both entertained and motivated during your workout. Find a friend or family member to run, jog, or hike with you. You can help keep each other motivated when motivation levels are low, and even compete with one another as an extra incentive.
5. Eat plenty of healthy foods
Avoid junk food like chips, cakes, pizzas, and ice cream. Your body will thank you. Eat foods high in protein and fiber, and remember to opt for smaller portions. Shoot for 3-4 small meals per day.
6. Drink water instead of juice or soda, even if it’s diet
Although diet soda offers a “zero” calorie alternative to regular soda, it still interferes with weight loss. If you’re serious about getting that body looking in tip-top shape, don’t drink anything but water. Substituting water for every other drink will drastically lower your caloric intake. Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day, It is VERY important to stay hydrated.
