Simple Ways to Get Beach-Ready

You have planned a vacation at one of the most beautiful beaches of the world. You have just four weeks to go and are worried. How would you get a perfect bikini body for the beach in such less time?

Well, if not perfect, at least you should have a slim, smart body that goes well with the bikini and does not embarrass you in front of strangers at the beach. You are a person who hasn’t been to the gym for ages.

Relax. There is a solution for every problem in the world.

The following workout session will help you come close to getting the beach body.

So, let’s start…

Thumb rules first

You have 4 weeks, which means 28 days. So, your workouts are all about intensity. You cannot afford to go slow, then moderate, then high. Your sessions would feature high intensity workouts with little rest between each exercise. Workouts focus on defining and toning your muscles rather than cutting fat.

4 Weeks to go

At this time, you must do a minimum of 45 minutes of workout at least thrice a week. Do a mix of cardio and strength training. Watch your diet too. Cut down on sweets and simple carbs that come from white flour, white sugar, and white rice.

Sample session:

Do sets of 15-20 reps, one after other. Rest for 60 seconds only after the last workout. Repeat the set 2-3 times.
After the session, do some cycling, running, walking, or cardio for 20 minutes.

Examples of workouts:

Air squats, tricep dips, standard grip push ups, plank, pull ups, swiss ball crunches, burpees, and bicycle crunches.

3 Weeks to go

Increase your workout time to 60 minutes, 4 times a week. Do the same workouts as last week, but now perform 3-4 sets of the session.

Examples of workouts:

Air squats, tricep dips, wide grip push ups, pull ups, plank, side planks, burpees, air squats, swiss ball crunches, bicycle crunches, mountain climbers, and 10 pound dumb bell curls.

2 Weeks to go

Now, you are in the game, ladies. Focus on muscle tone this week. Do each exercise for as many reps as possible. Take 45-60 second breaks in between. Repeat each set twice. Exercise 4 days a week and also perform cardio exercises after workouts. This is the time when you can nudge your body to push its limits.

Examples of workouts:

Air squats, tricep dips, burpees, diamond or close grip push ups, pull ups, plank, side planks, bicycle crunches, swiss ball crunches, mountain climbers, 10 pound dumb bell curls, and core bridge.

1 Week to go

You are imagining the soft sands and the salty beach air already! The last week is the “pump week.” It means you are going to top off whatever muscles you built and defined during the last three weeks.

Sample session:

Perform 35 reps of each exercise. You may take a break of 30 seconds between each exercise. End it with 35-minute cardio.

Examples of workouts:

35 push ups using any grip of your choice, 35 tricep dips, 35 crunches, 35 squats, 35 lunges, and 35-second plank. Don’t forget the 35-minute cardio.

The above workout session helps you get an awesome body in a short time. You will be confident of strolling at the beach in your favorite bikini, clicking selfies and posting them on social media, giving your friends a lot to be envy of.

While you are busy toning and shaping up your body, remember to exfoliate your skin to make it ultra soft and smooth. Use a high quality, gentle body scrub and slough off those dead cells on skin of the whole body.

Those who are crazy of tanning must use a self-tanning lotion. Avoid sunbathing at the beach for long, as this may damage collagen of your skin. Get the hot bronze look at home before you set off on your vacation.

Last but not the least; shop for a hot bikini that adds to your sensuality. Now that you are confident of your curves, you don’t want to hide them, do you? Show off your toned arms and legs, flatter than before abs, and a slimmer waist in a two-piece wear that sets the beach sands on fire.
