Bikini Season Prep: Your Guide to a Confident & Fit Body

Okay, ladies, the time is now! If you're tired of covering up in frumpy one-piece bathing suits, or hiding under cover-ups, change the look of your body. Head to the beach with confidence in that fabulous bikini that's been sitting in your drawer. Take a look at this article for tips.

Instructions

• 1

  Get serious about toning up your body and losing weight. Create a work out calendar and plan a time each day to hit the gym. When you hit the gym, work out for an hour at least. Take a hard-hitting cardio class such as step, cardio-dance classes and ride classes, then follow it up with a toning class like Pilates, sculpting, yoga or abs.

• 2

  Change your diet. If you are filling up on fast food a few days a week, cut that out of your diet. Eat healthy and fill up on veggies, fruit, lean meat and fish. Choose a diet plan that works for you and stick to it.

• 3

  Enroll in a bikini boot camp or workout boot camp. These can range from one week to six weeks and help those who need a little extra motivation to get back on track. Search for workout boot camps in your area by doing a Google search for "workout boot camp", "your city."

• 4

  Hire a personal trainer and work out with them at least two times a week. Personal trainers help their clients achieve the results that they want and they will motivate and push clients to get those results.

• 5

  Head to the beach for extra inspiration and run on the beach. This is a great way to burn calories, since it is difficult to run on the sand and you can take a dip in the water when you finish your run.

• 6

  Consult with a nutrition. If you need help with a diet plan, this is the best way to go. Often the best diet does not center on deprivation, but just eating healthier as a way of life.
