Like What You See in the Mirror

    Do you want to look great at the beach this Summer? Well, the good news is you still have a couple of months to shed those extra inches and firm up your muscles!

    Want a tighter tush? Maybe you just want to take off your shirt without worrying! Why not start today - get started on your Summer body now!

    You do not have to be an athlete to benefit from exercise and physical activity. Try yoga, hiking, or even planting a garden. Spring is the perfect time of year to start working on your body - and your front yard!

Whether you swim laps or try water aerobics, working out in the water is easy on your joints and helps reduce sore muscles and injury. Don't belong to a health club? No worries! Save your money and start getting in shape for free!

    If you've been inactive for a while - you might want to start slow. Try walking. Instead of walking in the street, walk in a friend or family member’s neighborhood that has sidewalks. Walk during your lunch break at work. Find out if you can walk at a local school track. Every other lap - pick up the pace and go as fast as you can. See if you can break a sweat! And then do it again!

When you get back home - do some simple, and effective core exercises - like the good old fashioned push-ups we all learned back in junior high. See how many you can do! Firm up your arm muscles, upper body muscles and strengthen your core!  Then try some simple squats and even a few sit-ups. Who says you need to spend a small fortune to join that fancy gym?

   Now that Spring is nearly here - we all have the opportunity to start fresh - or even pick up the pace of our health and fitness goals! If losing a few pounds is still on your agenda - don't forget to keep eating healthy foods and drink plenty of water, Forget the sugar filled drinks ( and snacks ). Stick with nature's drink!

There's still time to develop a more muscular and toned upper body before the first hot days of Summer.  Get started on your toned and slim beach body.  Start getting in shape today!
