Are you Beach Body Ready?

Today is the unofficial start of summer. While some are out eating & drinking everything in site; some of you are stressed about the future cookouts and trips to the lake and beach that are to come.

5 Things you can do to shed inches by next weekend!

  1. Drink 1liter of water per 50lbs of body weight.
  2. Eat 5-6 small meals or snack containing lean protein, and fruit or veggies.
  3. Take a quality multi-vitamin
  4. Get moving! Take a walk at lunch time, walk the dog, chase the kids around the yard, go for a bike ride. Hey you could even hit the gym. Just be sure to get your heart rate up for 15min if you are a newbie and 30 min if you have been exercising regularly for the past 3 months.
  5. Preform 3 full body work-outs. These will blast fat faster than the traditional split set days (chest-triceps, back-biceps, and lower body) Make sure to keep your heart rate up while doing your weights. No more chit chat at the gym, get in and get out!

Take your measurements today and then again next Monday after you have followed these tips.

It is very encouraging to see the tape measure move even when the scale isn't budging much. After all we don't walk around with a sign that says how much we weigh....but we do tend to walk around showing everyone our waist line and back side.
