I can´t believe it! Where has time gone? Summer is just around the corner. And so is bikini season… It’s time to tone up, change our diets and figure out all the best ways to prepare for bare! Are you ready for all this? If not, well, here’s a handy list of suggestions which can be taken up any time. 5 1. CHECK FOR SPOTS Skin cancer kills often, more often than any other form of cancer, yet we still don’t wear sunblock like we should, and we still don’t check ourselves like we ought to. Look closely at your skin, paying attention to any odd-looking mole or freckle. Don’t know what to 10 look for? Check out the free guide at the www.cancer.org. 2. GET THE RIGHT SUNBLOCK Yes, I’m harping on this, but it’s important – one of the most important ways to get ready for bikini season is to get the right sunblock. It’s simple: you need a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunblock 15 with an SPF of at least 30. Apply it generously, every 2 hours. 3. GET THE RIGHT FIT! Now it’s time to talk about the bikini! Even the fittest girl can have muffin top if her suit doesn’t fit. Be prepared to spend a lot of 20 time bikini shopping, and also be prepared to buy a swimsuit that’s larger than your jeans size. For example, I wear size 6 jeans, but get a size 8 bikini. 4. GET INSPIRED What inspires you? A photo of you from younger, chubbier days? 25 A page from the catalog of the suitie you want? Whatever it is that may help motivate you to workout, get it… and keep it handy. Getting inspired is one of the best ways to get ready for bikini season! 5. TRY FOR FIVE Now let’s talk about diet. Chances are you want to lose a little 30 weight, not much, to get ready for bikini season. You needn´t go on some strange, strict diet — just try to substitute the sugary snacks you usually eat with healthy, fiber-rich fresh fruits and veggies. The USDA recommends we consume 5 handful-size servings per day… go for it! 35 6. FORGET FAST FOOD Fast food is fattening, often containing all of the calories you ought to eat in one day in one meal. If you ban fast food as from now, then preparing for the bikini season is easy. You’ll be so glad you did! 7. TONE UP Aim for four cardio sessions per week, for about half an hour 40 each session. Cardio can be anything that keeps your heart racing for the entire time, including biking, swimming, dancing… you name it! Also, focus on your calves, arms, abs, butt and thighs. There's simply no better way to tone your abs and core than crunches. My 45 bikini season faves are rowing, lunges and finally, squats. 8. HIDE THE FLAWS! If all else fails, remember, they make gorgeous flowing sarongs and cute board shorts for a reason! As long as you’re fit, and eating a positively healthy diet, don’t worry about the few extra pounds. 50 Simply disguise them in a cute cover-up and you’re set!
