It\u2019s getting close to that time of year depending on where you live, to put on your new Bikini<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, hit the beach or pool and work on your tan. For many of us especially if you live in colder climate, it\u2019s easy to put on a few extra pounds on not be quite as fit and trim as you were the end of last summer so, \"\"<\/a>here are some simple tips on diet and exercises I came across and wanted to share that will help get you Bikini Fit for summer!<\/p>\n

HOW STARS DO I<\/em><\/strong>T, featured in LifeStyle Weekly<\/a><\/em><\/strong>,<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Jessica Alba<\/a><\/strong><\/em> \u2013 says, \u201cThe biggest change in my body came when I stopped eating processed food. I don\u2019t eat fast food or anything that that\u2019s packaged or loaded with salt and preservatives\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Eva Longoria Parker<\/em> \u2013 \u201c I always get a good Bikini Wax<\/em><\/strong>, and I always spray \u2013 tan before I go to the beach. It\u2019s really key because it acts as a sunblock, and you look better in a bikini when you\u2019re already tan.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BOOST YOUR BUTT-<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is a simple but great exercise you can do at home, office or almost anywhere that will help shape and lift your backside.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWant your exit to be as grand as your entrance? For firmer, shapelier buttocks, \u201c resistance training is the best way to get rid of fat, says Jackie Warner, author of This is Why You\u2019re Fat ( and how to Get Thin Forever) \u201cIt\u2019s better than dieting alone or even dieting and doing aerobic exercise. \u201cTo target troublesome glutes, Warner suggest these exercises three times per week . Perform three sets of 15 reps\u201d.<\/p>\n

DUMBBELL FRONT SQUATS \u2013<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

STEP 1<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stand with your feet hip width apart, your knees slightly bent and your toes facing forward. Hold dumbbells in front of your chest.<\/p>\n

STEP 2<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bend at the knees and lower your body as if you going to sit in a chair. Straightening your legs to return to the starting position, pressing up from your heels.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BACK BRIDGES-<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

STEP 1<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lie on an exercise mat with your knees bent and your arms out to the sides.<\/p>\n

\u00a0STEP 2<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Press feet into the floor, contract your buttocks and abs, and raise your hips until your body forms a diagonal. Squeezing glutes throughout, lower to 1 inch fro the floor, never relaxing.<\/p>\n

These exercises may not seem like much but do these 3 times per week 15 reps each, and you\u2019ll see the difference in no time.<\/p>\n
