Everyone was out and about enjoying the first 28 degrees we have had since last summer.
Now for me summer has all of a sudden crept up and feel like fark i better get my ass into gear with all the pool parties, beach bbqs, cocktail parties, launches, lazing sun baking days at the beach and how could we forget ivy pool! with a hectic weekend schedule this means that during the week is your down time to get your body and mind healthy for the summer time!.
Now if you want some cheat sheet ways to get your body back to how it was or you want to feel amazing inside and out then here are some tested methods that are instant! no joke 1 week you will look and feel completely different!
So just a bit of a back ground check- I used to be in the fitness game, I studied fitness science and exercise for 2 years until I realised it wasn't for me.
I still however have retained knowledge on what's the best exercise for creating long lean muscles and sculpting the bod you want!
1) Drink as much water as you can! I am talking 2 big bottles a day. This will rehydrate you and its so important for plumping your skin and reducing those facial lines and wrinkles.
2) To slim down really quickly follow this plan - it works trust me! After a 5 weeks of traveling around Europe and drinking every day plus eating enough food for 2 people I had put on a few kgs and I could feel it in my clothes that i bought at the start of my trip,
I had fit into my motorcycle jeans easily but to my dismay at the end of my trip I could just get my legs through and the zip would not do up over my muffin tops, not to mention my slight food baby bump!
Problem was that I was heading to LA and Vegas and that meant swimwear! I found a way to quickly tone up and lose the 3 kg I had put on, this is how I did it in 1 week- no joke!
- breakfast: protein smoothy
-snack : piece of fruit and a hand full of almonds with a green tea
-lunch: salmon shashimi 6 pieces, with either edamame, miso , or a small side salad.
- dinner: japanese also- so mixed shashimi with either miso or small salad
Exercise: 1 hour: 40 mins jog/ run
plus : 20 pushups, variations of sit ups, 20 x lunges, 20 x squats, plus 20 x tricep dips,
step jumps x 20 and stretching afterwards.
+ Its all about toning ladies, pump classes at the gym are the best!
I did that everyday for a week and the results were instant! Not only did i feel great, but I had a lot of energy too!
here are a few more tips I swear by:
1) vitamins- multi vitamin and iron tablet
2) chromium picolinate - natures own brand, it promotes lean muscle mass and also curbs sugar and sweet cravings! it regulates your blood sugar.
2) definetly put on a couple of layers of fake tan! plus spray your face also.
3) DIY buff and polish in cute summer shades like pale pink, corals or taupe.
4) Detox and purify your blood and clear your skin by taking Chlorophyl - found at health food stores- with water, this stuff is magical, i actually need to get some more!
5) Get 8 hours of sleep a night during the week- so important.
6) Nourish your skin at night by applying rose hip oil to your face- its great for sun damage and gets rid of wrinkles and rehydrates your skin over night. plus the best thing is its so cheap compared to night creams and all natural!
7) look after your hair if you are swimming- use a hair treatment once a week or make your own hair oil at home- no need to buy moroccon oil as you can make a similar concoction from your pantry. Try: olive oil, macadamia oil, few drops of lavendar etc
just put in the ends do not put at your roots or you will look like you have homeless hair!
I need to get my 8 hours now so I will add more tips shortly! In the meantime get excited! summer is nearly here!
