Thinking of spending a holiday in some sun-kissed tropical island? Or perhaps you're all ready for your trip except for one thing: You just don't have a beach-ready body yet. If you can't look decent in your swimming trunks or your bikini, your beach vacation won't nearly be half as fun. C'mon let's face it: You go to the beach to soak up in the sun and the little Narcissus in you wants to get noticed and admired for how svelte you look in your swimwear.
So if you're planning to have some fun in the sun, don't stop your travel preparations with just hotel and flight bookings. Start in a beach -ready body program now so you look your utmost best when you pose for that perfect vacation picture to paste into your Facebook profile.
Ideally, you should begin your beach fitness regimen months before your actual vacation, while you're still mulling about where to go and how to go about funding it. Start by making a few simple changes to your diet. Choose whole natural foods like fruits and vegetables that give you a sustained energy release so you don't feel the need to snack on unnecessary calories all throughout the day. Always keep a bottle of water handy. Sometimes, you mistake hunger pangs for thirst and always keeping yourself hydrated minimizes this misunderstanding of your body's signals. Avoid processed foods at all cost-- especially if you are already pressed for time as consumption of these will cause you to gain many calories that will hinder your weight loss efforts. If you're a regular social drinker, now is the best time to wean yourself off beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages. These store body fat and are best kept at bay if you want to look your best on the beach.
Turn up the ante on your weight training regimen. The more muscles you build, the more calories you will burn. If you can't get a gym membership, do bodyweight training at home or improvise weight training with some mineral water bottles or jugs filled to the brim with water or sand. Make sure that you give your muscles sufficient time to rest by alternating your training days. Also, focus on overall body training. Don't just strive for ripped abs. Rather, strengthen your entire core. Don't just train your biceps but cover your whole arms as well. Don't just exercise your but, workout your entire leg. By making sure that you workout every muscle in your body, you get that balanced look.
Don't forget to include cardiovascular training in your beach-ready body training plan. Not only will this aid in fat loss, this also exercises your heart and strengthens your lungs. When these are healthy, you are prepared for some real hardcore fun in the sun. From beach volleyball to kayaking to snorkeling, you make the most of your beach vacation. It makes no sense traveling all those miles to just laze in pristine beaches the whole day-- you can do that when it gets too hot to do anything. A complete vacation package means trying out your hands at things that you can't normally do at home like go windsurfing or parasailing and all these activities require you to be physically fit. With a beach-ready body, you get the benefit of better health, too.
