How to Get a Sexy Bikini Body

Are you slightly hesitant about wearing your brand new swimwear? Do not despair. Here are some tips on helping you to get a sexy bikini body.

Steps

1. 
   1
   Eat a nutritious diet. A healthy diet is the key to creating and maintaining a body that your best critics would kill for. All you really need to do is stay motivated and focused- you'll see results.
   

   • When counting calories, remember that one pound equals 3500 calories.
   • A safe and healthy way to lose weight and diet is by reducing your daily calorie intake by 500 calories per day.
   • Eat plenty of protein. Stay away from high carbohydrate meals and sugar. Opt for water over fruit juices and sodas and by all means, try your best to stay away from alcohol. Alcohol deposits empty calories in your body that will counteract all of the hard work you've put in up to that point.
   • Sleep for 9 hours EVERY night

   Keep fit. Proper and consistent exercise will keep your energy levels high. Here are some cardio exercises to hit those troubled spots:
   

   • For your abs and torso area, crunches and sit ups will help shrink your stomach.
   • For your arms and shoulders, elliptical and small weights will firm up any flabby areas and give you an even skin tone.
   • For hips, thighs and buttocks, cycling, running and jogging (getting your heart rate up to 65% of its maximum, which is 220 minus your age times 0.65) burns fat and calories. Plus it tones up all of those loose areas below your hips that shake and jiggle.

   Remember that you must do the above exercises for 30-60 minutes a day at least 3 times a week. The best time is usually before you start your day so afterward, your energy level will be elevated and you'll breeze through your daily schedule.

   Avoid high-calorie snacks. Stick with fruits and vegetables if you're hungry between meals.

   Keep moving. Don't sit around and become a permanent fixture on the couch. Walk to the store, walk up stairs instead of using an elevator, and do spot exercises while sitting at a work desk or dinner table.
