Well, like me, I’m sure you missed the chance to have that perf bikini bod by spring break. On the bright side, it’s a great time to prepare for the summer! Here are a few simple things you can start doing without making huge sacrifices.
Eat Slightly better
- Set a goal for at least 2-3 bottles of water a day
- If you go to Starbucks daily, try to skip a few days
- Make sure something goes in your stomach in the morning
- Pick a fruit and fall in love with it
- Don’t completely pig out on sweets everyday
- Eat 3 meals a day
- Explore with salads
- Instead of McDonald’s, try Subway
Working out
- Fast jog on the treadmill for 10 minutes
- Do 3 sets of 10 push-ups
- Squats with or without added weight
- Don’t take the elevator all the time; 2 flights won’t kill you
- Stretch your muscles
- Do Russian Twists with added weight
This won’t guarantee that amazing celeb bod you’re wishing for, but it’s definitely a start! Do this at least 3 times a week and over time this will get easier. Then you can amp it up and become a gym pro! Also, looking good whole working out absolutely makes you feel good and gives you a boost of confidence.
