It's that time of year again. We're getting close to bikini
season, or whatever you want to call it, and we start getting worried about how
we look in our swimsuits. It's not too late. You can still do what you need to
do to look better by the end of May, the first part of June, when you go on
vacation.
What do you need to do? It's simple, not easy, just
simple:
- First,
cut out the alcohol. This is the easiest, simplest fix. It pulls a ton of
calories out of your diet. Your body responds to the toxicity of alcohol
in ways that prohibit fat burning and muscle building.
- Second,
start limiting your complex carbs. By complex carbs, we talk about rice, pasta,
bread, things like that. Make the shift to simple carbohydrates like sweet
potatoes and squash. Then control your portions of those starchy things.
- Third,
work out more. Get on the bike for 20, 30, or 40 minutes a day in zone 2, which
for most of us is about 125 beats per minute. Get some sprint work once or
twice a week and lift weights 2 or 3 times a week. Go old school with back
squats, deadlifts, curls, triceps extensions, and pull-downs.
If you do those three things for the next two months,
hit it hard, your beach season will look better than it would if it were right
now.
