Spring is fast approaching, ladies, which means I have good news and bad news. The good news? Um, DUH! Warmer weather, brighter colors, flip-flops. The bad news? This means that bikini season is coming, too.
Before you start sweating profusely and think about the gazillion diets you should begin right this second, take a breath. Don't fret, mis amigas!
Check out these 5 great tips from celebrity trainers that will have your sexy bod beach ready in no time:
1. Kristin McGee, who trains actress Tina Fey, suggests adding in yoga to your weekly fitness regimen. This will help you destress and also sneak in some upper body strength training:
Doing pushups is not fun, but yoga has a natural, fluid pushup that’s really beautiful and effective if you’re doing it right.
2. Ramona Braganza, trainer to hottie Zac Efron, suggests changing up your workouts constantly if you want to see results:
Workouts need to change constantly. Change the weights, change the sets, change the tempo. You want to shock your body.
3. Gunnar Peterson, trainer to sexy stars like Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, and Sofia Vergara, suggests getting used to doing a whole lot of the classic butt blasting move -- squats:
They’re a multijoint compound move that work the biggest muscle group of the body—the gluts. Metabolically, consider squats your BFF.
4. Teddy Bass, who has worked with beauties Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu, suggests making sure to get in your cardio at least three (ideally five) times per week:
You need to burn fat with cardio (at least 30 minutes, three to five times per week) to see ab definition ... Elliptical machines are great, because you have to contract your abs in order to stay upright
5. Justin Gelband, who tones the glutes of a whole slew of Victoria's Secret models, suggests adding some bounce to your workout with an exercise ball:
The exercise ball is great for core movement, balance, and stability. It is a must-have piece of equipment for sculpting model bodies.
Follow these five easy tips, add a bit of bronzer and a swipe of mascara, and there's no doubt in my mind that you'll be looking sexy on the beach in no time!
