Tips When Selecting Your Bikinis

It’s almost that time again, you know, when it is all about warm beaches and cool water. Even if it is snowing in your area, it is warm somewhere on earth and you can bet that some are in a frenzy about getting their bodies in shape for the new bikinis of the season; perhaps even one with a classic thong design. Not only does the body need to be in shape but you also need to know what will or will not look good on you. Here are a few tips to follow.

When shopping for a bikini, make sure that the bottom (panties) fit. This may sound like a rather obvious statement, but many people don’t really see that. A woman may be a size 6 but there is still the possibility of those dreadful love handles. It is not a pretty sight but it is true of even those who are fit. Do not let the desire to diet yourself down to a size 4 ruin how you actually fill out your swimwear bikini.

One major point of contention is how the top of the bikini fits, as there are many different shapes and styles. If you want to enhance the bust, then try on bikinis that have a bandeau top as they do enhance a smaller bust; possibly choose one with a bright pattern. Bold textures and prints give the illusion of a larger bust.

Of course, if you have the opposite problem, then an ample chest looks really good in a halter style top. Not only does it look good but with a wide strapped halter top you have the advantage of being able to tighten and lift at the same time. An added bonus to this sexy bikini style is the fact that you won’t have to worry about it coming off every time you dive into the water.

Remember, if you are wearing bikini swimwear that you feel good about and are comfortable in, then you may feel a little better about it when you are throwing your near naked body out there for the world to see. It also helps if you take a good friend with you when trying on bathing suits as they are more likely to be honest in their opinion.

Some women feel that they have the legs of a dachshund, meaning that they are short. If that is the case with you, then you will want to look for the bikini bottom that has a higher cut on the leg. You want to be sure to stay away from the bikinis that have the low-cut, boy shorts style, as it will make the legs appear shorter. If you are really lucky, then you may be able to find the very rare low-rise/hi-cut style. If you do, then be sure to stock up on them.

Bikini Body Workout – 4 Weeks to a Sexy Summer Beach Body – Part 2

This is part two of the previous article I wrote called… Bikini Body Workout – 4 Weeks to a Sexy Summer Body. In that article I described the workout plan and the first three exercises that you need to perform in order to be able to fit into that Bikini swimsuit. There are 9 exercises in this routine.

So let’s move forward and get right into the Bikini body workout!

Bench Hop - (this is exercise number 4) this exercise targets the entire body. Stay on the right side of the bench or step. Place your hands on the sides of the bench while keeping your legs together and abs tight. Hop both of your legs over the bench and jump back to where you started to complete one repetition.

Isometric Exerciser Row – this exercise works your back, biceps and your abs. Place your left foot on top of one of the isometric exerciser cables. Grasp the cable closest to you in a bent over position. Pull the cable up toward your waist and bring it back down again. Switch sides and do the same movement for the other side, this is one repetition.

Bicep Curls - this exercise targets your biceps and your shoulders. Grasp your isometric exerciser while sitting on a bench or step. Place your right foot over one of the cables and grasp the other cable with your palms facing up. Without moving your body, curl the cable towards your shoulder. Switch hands and perform the same movement with that hand. That is one repetition.

Resistance Band Alternating Press – this works your shoulders and your core. Place both feet in the center of your resistance bands. Grasp a handle on either side. Your palms will be facing forward. Press your left arm upwards and then lower it as you begin to press your right arm upwards. Now turn your Palm so they face each other and press them up again both hands at the same time. This is one repetition.

The Tick-Tock - this exercise works your entire core. Lay on the floor face up with your arms on the ground on each side of you. Your legs extended straight over your hips. Keep your shoulders on the ground, lower your legs as far as you can to the left, then do the same thing on the right. Lower them to the floor and up to complete one repetition.

Here are some tips to help you get the maximum results from this training routine.

• To really see the results of this workout you need to kick up your cardio. Do this workout three days a week.
• Take on another workout that you can do on the other two days. You want to be doing 30 to 60 minutes of moderate intensity exercises. (You want to be performing 5 cardio sessions per week.)
• Get the full benefit from each repetition.
• Make sure you get enough sleep, 8 hours per night.
• Eat Chick Peas or Other Beans – they are high in fiber and protein. They contain elements that will help stabilize your blood sugar levels and prevents insulin fluctuation that causes your body to store excess fat. For a woman that means your midsection! Throw the beans into a cup of rice and/or salad.

That’s the entire Bikini body workout, follow this training routine as I’ve laid out and use the tips that I have recommended and in no time at all you’ll be walking down the beach showing off your hot Beach body.

Bikini Body Workout – 4 Weeks to a Sexy Summer Beach Body part 1

Now that you’re jumping around for joy because Summer’s almost here I thought it only fitting that I give you a routine that will get you in Bikini body shape in just 4 weeks! This routine includes Plyometric exercises and isometrics for your abs. This calorie scorching cardio routine is going to have you jumping for joy right over to that Bikini rack as you see the pounds and inches just dropping away.

So go ahead and buy a Bikini two sizes smaller than what you are currently wearing because if you will commit yourself to this workout you will have no problem getting into it!

The Bikini Body Workout Plan

• Train Three Times A Week – not on consecutive days and make sure you warm up for at least five minutes before you begin.
• Days 1 and 3 – perform three sets of 18 to 20 repetitions of each movement with lighter resistance.
• Day Two – do three sets but cut the number repetitions and half and increase the resistance you are using.
• Complete All the Moves – follow the exact order as given and rest for 45 seconds between sets.
• Equipment Needed – you will need a set of resistance bands, an isometric exerciser and stability ball. Total investment under $100. (Still cheaper than a gym membership, they go for hundreds of dollars a year.)

Here Are the Top 3 Exercises to Get You in Beach Body Shape

Squat Jump – this exercise works your butt and your legs. Stand facing the bench or step with your feet shoulder width apart, arms in front of you. Jump onto the bench using your arms to help propel you, and then jump. You can jump or step down, perform the repetitions as directed above.

Single Leg Bridge – this exercise targets your butt, legs and core. To perform this exercise lay down on the floor face up with one of your heels on the stability ball. Keep your arms at your sides. Lift up your hips and bring your right knee towards your chest. Keep your right knee bent and hips lifted and then roll the ball in so your left knee is bent at a 90° angle. Roll the ball out and repeat. Switch your legs and complete the set.

Spiderman Push-Up – this exercise targets your chest, arms, and core. Lower yourself to the ground and assume a push-up position. Your hands should be slightly wider than your shoulders. (If you need to rest on your knees its okay) bring your right hand forward a few inches as you draw your left knee towards your left elbow. At the same time, lower your chest towards the floor. Push back up, return to your starting position and switch sides for your next repetition.

Unfortunately, that’s all the room that we have in this article to break down the complete program. The beach body workout consists of 9 exercises in total. In the next article, I will give you the rest of the workout and some tips to maximize your results!
