Beach Body Fitness


Want to look even hotter at the beach this Summer? You can have tighter abs, and a leaner - more muscular body shape!

Adopt the 2 simple - and effective - habits that are sure to result in a more toned and muscular body shape. Embrace the daily exercise habit. Try a wide variety of workouts and as many different sports as you can enjoy!


Decide which area(s) of your body you want to improve on. Then get a jump rope and some simple hand-weights. Maybe a yoga mat and an exercise ball. You won't need much. Dust off that bicycle in the garage and use it - ride it hard! Walk ( or better yet, run ) for 45 minutes 5 days a week. 

If the weather outside is too hot for your taste - go early in the morning, You'll feel more energized all day! Go for a swim after work if you can. Many public pools have lap lanes. Some offer water aerobics classes that are great workouts! 


And almost equally as important - especially if you want to shed a few pounds - is the habit of eating healthy foods.

Try to limit - or even eliminate simple carbs. White bread. Anything with sugar or the dreaded High Fructose Corn Syrup is your enemy in the quest for a better body shape! Make your calories count. Eat protein rich foods and get plenty of healthy fats - like those found in avocados, walnuts, and olive oil. Get more fiber - primarily from leafy greens and other vegetables. Learn to love tomatoes. And pomegranates! Buy a bag of frozen blueberries or mixed berries and add them to your morning yogurt!

Remember that old adage - "Variety is the spice of life". For better results - enjoy a variety of sports and workouts. Keep your muscles from getting into the same old, boring routine every day. Try a new sport or two. Take a class in Yoga or whatever Dance craze you think you might like. The possibilities are nearly endless!

Try P90X. People are losing tons of weight and getting ripped muscles while they're at it! The success stories are - for some - nothing short of incredible.
