Summer is just around the corner, and we all want to achieve that perfect body for the beach. We have attempted various diets and workout routines but haven’t been able to attain our desired results.
However, there’s no need to worry because there are nine straightforward tips that you can incorporate into your fitness and eating habits to help you get the body you desire. The key is to focus on how you move and what you eat.
ON HOW TO MOVE
1. DO MOVES IN THREES
Any workout has three variables: weights, intensity, and volume. To keep your body guessing, focus on one variable per workout – increase the weight but lower the number of reps one day; lower your standard weight but add a set the next; use your standard weight but do more reps faster on another.
2. DON’T GIVE UP ON THE PULLUP
Pullups, which strengthen the lats, biceps, middle back, and shoulders, are an effective upper-body exercise. Can’t squeeze one out? Then do planks: Lie with your chest under a weight bar set to knee height on a squatting rack. Grab the bar with an overhand grip and, keeping your body in one line, bend your elbows and pull your chest toward the bar. Lower back to start; do 10 reps.
3. ROW YOUR BOAT
Before you strength train, spend 10 minutes on a rowing machine to get blood flowing to all the muscles and joints in your body. It’s better than a treadmill or a stationary bike because it engages your upper body and core, not just your legs.
