The following tips suggested by celebrity trainer Kathy Kaehler will flatten, sexify, and tone-up your tummy just in time for bikini season. There is no better timing to get your bod ready for some fun in the sun!
Follow these five easy tips to get that summer 6-pack:
- Skip the soda! Instead, drink more plain, flat water. You stay hydrated and allow your body to flush and flush while avoiding bloating.
- Reduce your calorie intake! You can make a meal replacement. Stay away from processed food and an easy way to remember is if you have food that comes in a box or bag chances are you just added salts, preservatives and other things that can just cause you to bloat. Always make sure to have a balance of nutrients to have sufficient energy especially since us Bruins hit the books. Look for those foods that are closest to their natural states which can be found at the local Ralphs store, Trader Joe’s, or Whole Foods. These foods have higher water and fiber content, which always improves the shape of the belly.
- Do the plank! This exercise works your muscles from top to bottom all you have to do is simply be in the push up position with elbows on the floor and try to hold it for about a minute. The plan can fit into almost anyone’s routine and can be done in the comfort of your dorm, apartment or Wooden.
- Avoid greens! Interestingly, if you want to get that belly to fit into that super cute outfit on a particular night you should keep the veggies at bay hours before then. This will give you less bloating.
- Walk walk and walk! Walking works all over and can be done within our very own campus of 419 acres!
