Summer

It’s summer and it’s getting hotter by the day. You want to wear as little clothing as possible to keep cool and comfortable, but if you are out of shape, life’s not exactly a beach for you.

A lot of people want to wear their bikinis or bathing suits this summer, but they know they have to get in shape first, says Beaufort fitness experts. And even if they are not going to the beach, they still want to look good in sleeveless shirts, shorts, and other skimpy summer wear.

Obviously, if you haven’t exercised and watched your diet, it will take longer to get the body you want, but if you start working out, do exercise or Beaufort fitness with your Beaufort personal trainers – keep at it – you’ll see results.

The key is a regular – rather than merely occasional – Beaufort fitness routine aimed at toning and firming up your upper and lower body and, of course, burning some extra calories so you can maintain a healthy weight.

However, before starting a “get-in-shape” exercise or Beaufort fitness program, watch what you eat and drink, Beaufort personal trainers advises. Cut out or at least reduce your consumption of sugary drinks, alcoholic beverages, and any foods that are high in saturated fats. A sensible diet that includes leans proteins, fruits, vegetables and some healthy fats, will not only help you lose the flab and extra pounds, but also help prevent heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

Most people who have not been exercising regularly probably need to work on the total-body Beaufort fitness routine. For an effective, “head-to-toe” overhaul, at EarthFIT, we recommend these in various combinations:

Sculpted arms and shoulders can be achieved with resistance bands or weights. Shoulder presses, bicep curls and tricep extensions are just some of several effective moves.

To tone your butt, try different kinds of squats and lunges. These exercises are great because they also work many other muscle groups, including your inner and outer thighs, hamstrings, glutes, etc.

For killer abs, there are many effective moves, such as a bicycle maneuver and leg raises.

Waist and midriff will respond to a side plank and pelvic twist, among other area-specific moves.

All these exercises are just a tip of the iceberg – there are many more that will tighten and firm up your whole body, according to Beaufort personal trainers. This is a great opportunity to work with a Beaufort fitness expert who will show you not only the most effective moves, but will also make sure you exercise safely.

A “beach body” routine may not land you on the cover of Sports Illustrated, “but it will allow you to ‘bare all’ – or almost all – on a hot summer day.
