How to get a body that is ready for the beach?

Do you want to proudly show your body in a bikini in summer? Are you ready to firm up your body, burn some calories, and eat better? It is easier than you think. Here is some advice that will not fail you:

1. Start working out at least four times a week; five times is even better.
2. Twice a week, do strength training, preferably at the gym. It will take about 40 minutes to do a complete body workout; that’s it. Only 40 minutes; maybe less.
3. Do cardio twice or thrice a week. Do an activity that will give you fast results, such as jogging, fast energetic walking on a treadmill using the incline, rope jumping, spinning or kick boxing. The more cardio you do, the more calories you will burn. (Related article: Lose weight and have fun)
4. Go easy on refined carbohydrates, for example, rice, white flour, potatoes, sugar, and pasta. Try to avoid them and eat only in moderation if you have to.
5. Avoid processed foods, including processed cheeses, pastas, etc.
6. Eat breakfast regularly and try something healthy (and inexpensive) like homemade oatmeal (just buy the ingredients separately in a health foods store).
7. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
8. Go easy on fried foods. Use non-hydrogenated oils and take a supplement of either fish oil, or even better, flaxseed oil.
9. Use girdles to get the right body shape.
