It is summertime and you surely want to look good at the beach. But to have that perfect Body, you’ve got so much to do with so little time. Let’s speed up the routines so you can get your body sculpted beautifully before the summer ends. Below are the few things that you can do.

1. Find your problem areas.

Are you underweight, overweight, or do simply have a few bulges here and there? Whatever is keeping your confidence level down, take note of it. You need to know which parts of your body you have to work out more.

2. Watch your diet.

You have to know that if you want to lose weight, you have to stay away from some of your favorite foods. Cut out on starchy and sugary foods for now. Don’t eat as many chips. It’s just for the summer anyway. But if you can keep eating healthily for longer, that’s way even better.

3. Exercise.

This is the most important step of all. No matter how good you are at dieting, you simply cannot sculpt your body to perfection without doing some exercises. So be prepared to sweat it out until you’re ready to hit the beach. The more intense you get the better results you’ll see.

Exercising is mandatory to get that Perfect Beach Body. So that’s what we’re going to focus on here. You have to work it out for three straight weeks and you have to do various types of exercises, too.

From Monday to Saturday, alternate strength workouts with cardio intervals. On Sunday, tone it down with just an hour’s worth of walking, running, or biking around the neighborhood. Take Sunday as your rest day although you’re still required to get active for at least an hour.

Suggested Strength Workouts

Do these strength workouts repeatedly during Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Repeat each exercise at least twice. If you can do three to four rounds of each, that’s better. Be sure to take a rest between intervals.

1. Floor push ups

Push up focuses on the chest, shoulders, and triceps. To do it right, follow these tips: 

• Assume the push-up position by forming a straight line from your head to your heels.
• Slowly bend your elbows at 90 degrees.
• Lower your body toward the floor in three counts.
• Push a quarter of the way back up from the floor.
• Lower the chest back down without touching the floor.

Suggested Cardiovascular Workouts

There are many cardiovascular exercises that can enhance your body’s metabolic process. When you do your cardio make sure that you stay at it for at least 30 minutes, then do another round later.

Here are some of the best cardiovascular exercises that you can try:

1. Jogging
2. Brisk walking
3. Swimming
4. Biking

If you’re in the gym, you can generally use the following equipment to complete your cardio exercise requirements for the week:

1. Elliptical trainer
2. Stationary bike
3. Treadmill

If you’re more challenged to move when you’re in the groove, you may as well take some fitness classes. The following are highly recommended:

1. Cardio kickboxing
2. Zumba
3. Aerobics
4. Dancing

Getting that beach body is not going to be easy, but it can be done. If you start now, then you’ll reap the results later. It takes a lot of willpower and commitment to keep exercising for 21 days straight. But that’s also how you get your best body for the summer.

Just be sure to watch your body while dieting and exercising. Say no to crash diets and yes to healthy eating. You should also drink a lot of water while working out. Pause if you feel really tired. Don’t push yourself too much too soon. Do it gradually, and you’ll eventually get there. The use of natural weight loss supplements may also help.
