10 Organic Ways to Be Bikini Ready

Summer is here and it's not going to wait for anyone! We must be ready to sport bikinis with little fabric and delicate strings. Summer is not for modesty but to show off your beautiful skin! I have ten tips to be bikini ready in no time!

The first is exercise which should be done all year regardless of what season it is. The health benefits from regular exercise are priceless. Exercise not only gets you bikini ready for summer but contributes to your beauty on the inside! A simple plan is walking or jogging 20-30 minutes a day for three days a week. Cardio gives us that nice flat stomach. Lifting light weights or anything heavy helps to tone that bikini body. Picking up the kids, groceries, or hand washing your clothes provides easy ways to burn calories. Who says house cleaning can't be an adequate work out?

Second is proper diet that consist of organic foods. Organic does not mean it has to be expensive. It just means opt for natural whole foods. Try to shop along the outside of the grocery store. Fruits, veggies, dairy, and lean meats are all that you need. The only reason to venture into the middle aisle section is for whole wheat bread, wheat pasta, brown rice, or oatmeal. The best choice of meats are fish, chicken, and turkey that are baked or fried in a little olive oil. A bikini ready body starts from the inside! A sample day would include: Breakfast- oatmeal, yogurt, or fruit. Lunch- a salad with olive oil and lemon dressing, fish, rice and a veggie or a grilled chicken sandwich on wheat. Dinner- as long you try to maintain a carb, a protein source, and a vegetable it's a good meal. Water should be the main drink. Tea and juice used sparingly are good for bikini bodies.

Third way to a summer body is relaxation. Meditating a few minutes a day can get you mentally ready to enjoy life. Yoga is also an excellent source of relaxation. Remember a healthy bikini body is not only how you look but also how you feel.
