The pressure on young teenagers and actually all female inhabitants of the western world to emulate the perfect bodies of celebrities and models, forces every year millions of women to diet and exercise. Smart people, like Jane Fonda, who was one of the first, or Jill Ireland, Billy Banks and other video workout specialists, as well as the diet gurus, like Dr. Atkins, use this insecurity and the fact that most of these women are uninformed, to peddle their diet or exercise plan, preferably both.
Is there a bikini body workout, which will not cost you an arm and a leg and really do the most important thing, make you look good in a bikini?
Of course there is, and I am taking the long shot that you don’t have a personal trainer, personal nutritionist, a cook and time and money to spare and spend in a workout gym, like the aforementioned celebrities.
First of all you have to determine how overweight you are. Some people are not really obese, just a little overweight and normally that happens when you neglect to properly exercise your body. Obese people have a long time to go, in order to reach the stage where a bikini body workout makes sense. Their startup workout would be fast walking, about an hour, every day, paired with a sensitive diet.
To a certain extent the diet is the keyword here, because a proper bikini body workout has always to go hand in hand with a diet. Perhaps it’s the funniest thing, but the best bikini body workout is swimming. Not just floating around in water, but serious swimming, doing the laps for an hour. You will not get the body builder muscles, nor would you have the ugly manly muscles, your muscle tone develops a very fine quality and you don’t look buffed, but sculpted.
On the other hand, an alternate method to lose fat and gain good muscle tone is to run. Jogging is out, simple running is in. It is vital to understand that you have to run or swim for up to an hour, but not less than half an hour, because during that time your excess fat is being burned. Underneath the half hour, your body uses up the energy reserves which are easily accessible, above the hour your body locks up and does not allow you to burn the stored fat, it’s the starvation block, if you continue to run, your protein is getting burned, which will shrink your muscles.
Diet could aid your bikini body workout, eat five times a day, in this order: breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and space these in three hours rhythm. In between you eat nothing. Water is allowed, squeeze a lemon in about a half a gallon and drink that, avoid soda of any kind, mineral water should be okay, but not carbonated, that will give you gas and add unwanted salt to your diet. Eat fruit instead of sweets and try to limit yourself to the calorie intake that would fit your profile.
