It is that time of year you are trying to drop a kilo or two before the summer sun free-time sunshine arrives. You are thinking how will I fit in to last year's bikini? Maybe every year you buy a new design so the thoughts are which design shall I buy for the beach this year? You have a sneaky feeling that you may have bulged out a little in the tummy region. You have been to the fitness centre many times over the cold winter period but you just couldn't get rid of that last bit of bulge to get you trim and sexy for your sun tanning sessions on your beach of choice. What to do…? First try these few simple steps for the last few weeks before your long awaited holidays.
Step 1: Drink water instead of those sugary soft drinks and save the alcohol time until you are on the long awaited holiday (if at all possible). You don't need on average 180 calories extra intake. Why take those calories when water has none. Try to keep two 1 litre bottles close at hand and finish the two of these during the day and one more if you can manage it. You'll be amazed at what a large intake of water can do for your physical look. Keeps the body cleansed whilst helping to cut out the fat.
Step 2: Keep your portion sizes to a minimum. If you are from a Mediterranean type family and have many plates full of food in front of you to choose from try to just have the whole meal served on one plate. Don't add extra items to your plate once you have begun to eat and if the family are too pushy when it comes to food then don't eat with them, make excuses until the holiday is over and eat alone instead. If you are not from a Mediterranean family then just try to eat a tiny bit less than normal. If you normally put a full spoon of food on to your plate maybe just pour a little back in to the pot. Better to keep your plate rather empty rather than overfill and then feel forced to eat the last part.
Step 3: Take a quick 10-20 minute walk in the morning and if possible the evening too. Leave the car at home more and walk to the corner shop and back. Maybe use you bike to get to work for the two or three weeks prior to your holiday.
Step 4: Let your body be truthful to your mouth and your mouth be truthful to your stomach. Do you really need that second piece of birthday cake? Do you really need to have seconds? Do you really need to have the chocolate bar and then say to yourself, "I'll work it off later at the gym". It is far better to just not fall into temptation and have that perfect beach body ready to be bronzed by the beautiful rays of a summer's sun. Keep the temptation under control and your will have more controllable non-sagging breasts and buns you can bounce a small coin on.
Step 5: You can do your usual dance classes and aerobics classes at the local gym to keep trim for the beach but it is also advisable that the last two weeks before your holiday on that perfect sandy beach, your beach swimsuit catwalk model time, you need to do some weight training. Most, if not all modern gyms have some form of weight machines. If you put these machines on the lowest setting manageable and do 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions you will start to see your body tone up meaning the muscle starts to pull tighter and hiding or distributing the flat to less noticeable areas giving you a better overall look. After doing all of this for the few weeks you will then have a better and more well toned body, a swimsuit and bikini ready body that speaks out, "look at me!" "I look great!"
