Fashion and Fitness for Summer!
Passion for Fashion
Summer is lurking and yes, we are all excited for some fun in the sun but what some of us aren’t so excited about are BATHING SUITS….AHHHHHH! As mentioned in last month’s fashion article, you can find that perfect bath suit to camouflage those imperfections, but this month I want to tell you about some easy exercises that everyone can do to get ready for the swimsuit season.
These are some great and easy exercises that will give quick results:
- For butt, hips, & legs lunges, are the best. They shape and lift. Try doing three sets of 20 either in place switching legs every 10 lunges or find an open area in your home or gym where you can actually travel forward.
- Backward lunges are also great and hit another set of muscles. On your last lunge of each set go deep into the bend and hold it for 15 seconds on each side. You will feel the burn, and you will probably be sore tomorrow, but that’s how you know its working!
- Another great way to work the hips and butt is to lay on one side with your body in a straight line and your legs straight as well, flex your top foot and lift it toward the ceiling. Try three sets of 20 again switching sides after each set.
- Also, get on all fours, keep your knee bent at 90 degrees and raise your foot toward the ceiling. This will work the area directly under your behind. Three sets of 20 will once again be sufficient.
For arms:
- Get yourself a set of dumbbells anywhere from 5 -10 lbs. Stand straight up with your hands down at your side holding a dumbbell in each. Your palms should be facing forward and away from you. Then bend your elbow but make sure it stays glued to your side. Only bring your hands toward your chest with your palms now facing your chest. Three sets of 15 for this exercise will get your biceps looking phenomenal in your tank tops.
There are several other simple exercises to get beach beautiful so stay tuned for future articles where I will share some more. Until next time Tri-Cities, enjoy the sun and be gorgeous!
