How to Get that Bikini Bod in Just 2 weeks!

So many people procrastinate until the middle of June, and just wake up one morning and realize that summer is only 2 weeks away! well if you are one of those people then don't fret, i can show you some exercise moves and a couple of food tips that can help you get your idea bikini bod!

                          


Exercise!

I know, I feel your pain, but there is a way to make exercising somewhat enjoyable. Try picking out some fat burning activities you do like. For example recreational swimming, a sport like soccer or tennis (something that will keep you running, so unfortunately mini golfing doesn't count!) As important as aerobic exercise is for your health and your body, to get that toned look you will also have to do some resistant exercise.  Try joining an exercise class like pilates. and to make it more enjoyable try dragging along a friend, not only will this make it more fun but will also encourage you to stay in the class and not back out! If you can't get to a gym, for whatever reason, you don't have to worry about a thing because you can still do exercises from home by popping in a exercise DVD. Don't have any? Well that's OK you can still exercise by following the routine below.

For the following exercises do 3 sets of 10- 15 reps 3-4 times a week.

Side Lunges         












One Leg Bicep Curl                          






     Dips

Swimmers  
(you can do this one without a ball, but it is more challenging.)

Exercise Ball Lifts 
Lateral Raise
Triceps Kickbacks
Front Lunges
Superman/Superwoman

Do any type of resistance exercise you want but be sure to do it 3- 4 times a week and aerobic exercises for at least 30 minutes a day to ensure results!

Diet

In order to have success you will have to tweak your diet at least for this 2 week program.
To be successful you will have to cut back on all processed foods like white bread, white rice, pasta, delicious pastries that are made with white flour.Also you will have to eliminate sugary drinks like juice, pop (that includes diet pop too! pshh who needs pop anyways besides pop totally makes you bloated :) !!!) Try to stay away from red meats and instead eat turkey, chicken, or fish. Try to stay away from saturated fats and instead enjoy the good fats. Make sure you do not eliminate good fats and carbs (like nuts, veggies, avocado, brown rice and beans, etc.) or else you will never feel full and end up overeating other stuff! And of course STAY FAR AWAY FROM DRIVE-THRU'S.

I know it sucks but just picture yourself and how you will look in 2 weeks in your bikini. Hopefully that will keep you motivated.

Good luck!

Don't forget to tell me how it works out for you, and if you want send in pics I would love to see your Bikini Bods!

Sincerely,
Keys
