Six-Week Bikini Countdown Book | Fitness Guide to Getting Your Best Beach Body

LaurenK — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 02:15:11 +0000

As the mercury drops it becomes increasingly harder to drag yourself out of bed and pound the pavement. But summer will be here before you know it, whether your body is ready for it or not. Thankfully Karon Karter says we can get a hot bikini body in just six weeks using her handy guide.

Karter is a Pilates specialist based in Dallas, Texas. She written numerous books and been featured on The Natural Wellness Channel, so she should know her stuff. And judging by the positive reactions to the book, it seems she does. Her core-targeted excercises are designed to challenge people of all fitness levels. There are the Pilates routines Karter's famous for, as well as interval training to burn calories and increase cardio fitness.

This is a very approachable book, with an easy and lighthearted style and progressively more difficult exercises. According to its enthusiastic response it also seems to get results. But it's far from perfect. The nutrition guide will likely see you lose weight, but it's not as balanced as it should be. All too often the servings have too few calories, which is likely to leave followers listless and irritable. No matter what Karter says, a tub of yogurt is not an evening meal.

It's also disappointing that the cardio component focuses on treadmill work. Most of us don't have one at home, and we generally turn to books like this to avoid gyms. We could likely make up our own substitute interval program, but it's disappointing that we have to.

The Six-Week Bikini Countdown book is very cheap though at $19.95. I think a hot bikini body is worth that, don't you?

The Body Sculpting Bible Swimsuit Edition | Women’s Beach Fitness Book

LaurenK — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 04:02:35 +0000

Acclaimed New York based personal trainer James Villepique puts women on the path to their perfect beach body with this fitness guide.

The book's exercises are designed to help readers fit into their favorite swimsuit, whether it's a conservative tankini or a more revealing thong bikini. There are workouts to target the thighs, toning routines for abs and obliques, and a comprehensive gluts workout for achieving an enviable bikini butt.

Happily the exercises aren't offered in isolation. The guide also has workout plans, which string together the repetitions for an all-over exercise plan, meal schedules, and more general dietary advice.

This really is a guide for beginners looking to get off the couch rather than anyone already interested in fitness though. Villepigue's exercises are likely to be too easy for anyone who's already enjoying a fitness regime. But novices are likely to be attracted to the simple equipment required and the well-rounded routines which are challenging for beginners, but still achievable.

Given their ease, I'm not sure whether this fitness guide will ever give readers the body of the woman on its front cover. It just doesn't push women far enough. But anyone who sticks to the plan should see some improvement by the time they're ready to slip into their swimsuit.

Bikini Body Made Easy Book | Step-by-Step Guide to Beach Fit Summer Figure

LaurenK — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 00:32:01 +0000

With winter snow blanketing much of the Northern Hemisphere, it's tempting to indulge in comfort food and some serious couch time. I don't mean to alarm you, but summer is just around the corner.

You can have that beach body you crave though once the weather warms with this handy guide, Bikini Body Made Easy. Of course, no fitness regime is ever easy, particularly one that claims to whip you into shape in just six weeks. But the guide is easy to understand, and quite comprehensive.

The colorful book is divided into sections for five different body types, from slender sporty bods to curvy apple shapes. Each portion features a six-week nutrition program and work-out plan designed to target each type's problem areas.

If you don't have the time to follow the six-week plan to the letter, you'll want to flick to the quick cheats. There are 24-hour emergency plans and even 10-minute quick fixes to help you feel confident in your skimpy bikini!

The beauty portion, which details exfoliation, self tanners, and even beach make-up, feels a little fluffy. But it's a minor gripe in a guide that's engaging enough to keep even the most loyal couch potato interested.

Bikini Bootcamp Fitness Book | Exercise and Nutrition Tips for Beach Body

LaurenK — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 02:10:23 +0000

Bikini Bootcamp offers a holistic approach to fitness and health which promises to help you get your "ultimate beach body" in just two weeks.

It's easy to suggest that the ultimate beach body would be better achieved by getting off the couch rather than sitting and reading a book, but most people who've read Melissa Perlman and Erica Gragg's tome swear by it. So do the celebrities that flock to the writers' Amansala Eco-Chic Resort and Spa in Mexico to undertake the same bootcamp program.

This book takes the regime practiced at the Mexican resort and recreates it for the average woman, without the star salary. The targeted workouts need no special equipment; you only require a willing body and attitude to take on the circuit training, core strengthening, and yoga exercises. The meal plans, with recipes included, help you fuel your body with nourishing, slimming, and tasty Mexican and Asian dishes. There are also relaxing mind exercises designed to help you stay committed to your goals, and do-it-yourself spa treatments which require nothing more than the goodies in your grocery cart.

Bikini Bootcamp's interactive nature seems to be the key to its success. Its fans say the program is both challenging and fun, and it gets results. Its critics have suggested the approach is a little hippie for their tastes, but if you can embrace its new age vibe this book might hold the secrets to your summer slimming success.

NikkiFitness Beach Bride Destination Wedding Workout DVD | Exercise Bikini Body Fitness Routine

LaurenK — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 06:05:11 +0000

A destination wedding to an exotic island locale sounds like heaven. But as any bride-to-be knows, the reality isn't quite so idyllic. NikkiFitness looks to get ladies bikini ready for their big day with this Beach Bride Wedding Workout DVD.

The videos are hosted by Nikki, who knows all too well the pressure women feel before their nuptials. She became a certified fitness expert to get in shape for her own destination wedding, and now she's passing on her tips to other brides-to-be. Her work-outs are diverse, with exercises to improve your cardio fitness and work on several muscle groups at once to cut your workout time in half. You can't spend all your time exercising when you've got a wedding to plan after all!

The DVD was shot on beautiful Mexican beaches; these stunning settings serve to remind brides of their goals while appearing much more appealing than any gym! While the visuals are taken care of, the soundtrack leaves a lot to be desired. There is no music, which makes it hard to establish a good workout rhythm. The instructor suggests you could play your own, but doing so makes it difficult to hear her instructions. At least it also drowns out the background sound of wind on the recording!

This isn't the most polished workout DVD, but it's also not the most expensive either at $19.99. If you're desperate to get that perfect bikini body for your big day it might be worth a try.

Xerdisc Balance Disc | Cheap Bosu Ball Trainer Alternative to Intensify Fitness Workouts

LyleF — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 22:55:27 +0000

When you can’t get to the gym, don’t want to invest in tons of at-home workout gear, and don’t like weights, but still want to get in a serious work out, consider balancing discs. The Xerdisc, which retails for around $20, enhances your work out by forcing more muscle groups to engage while you squat, lunge, or push up.

You can even sit on this disc while at work and all day you will be activating your core. You inflate the xerdisc yourself so you can decide how hard you want to work to stay upright. The more air, the harder it is to maintain balance.

Fitness magazine’s online workouts just featured this tool as a way to have a lean, toned body. Perfect guidance for any bikini maven. Who knew a great work out could be so cheap and weigh less than a pound?

The only word of caution I would give: make sure you are doing the right work outs (work out pamphlets come with many of these discs, or you can easily find them online at places like Fitness or Self magazine) and take your time! No twisted ankles!

Bikini Body Workout – Exercise DVD | ‘Self Bikini Ready Fast’ by Ellen Barrett

BeachBlogger — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 10:22:09 +0000

Bikini Season Is Just Around The Corner and THIS year- yes this is the year- I'm gonna look great in mine! Yeah, that's what I said last year. And the year before that. And the... well, you get the idea.

Self Magazine, along with everyone else, it seems, has introduced their 4 week solution to achieving the bikini body we all desire in a DVD titled "Self Bikini Ready Fast." So my question is this... I have 2 tickets to Cabo for spring break. It's the end of February; just around 4 magical weeks before my plane leaves... Does Self Magazine really think that 4 weeks of religiously doing the routines on their DVD will remove the extra 35 lbs of flub around my midsection, sculpt, tone and shape my body to make it "bikini ready"? Self Magazine, what exactly IS "bikini ready" anyway?

The fact of the matter is, people today are looking for the most results with the least amount of effort. Oh, and those masterminds of marketing know it too. We see a new solution to belly flab on the covers of magazines every week; there's always a new "superfood" being introduced that will aide in burning calories and curbing hunger. Then we buy the magazines, don't we?

The fact of the matter is, there's no way for most people to become "bikini ready" in 4 weeks. The people who buy this DVD are those who have way too much work to do, and way too little motivation to do it. We all know the secret to a beautiful bikini body: eat less, move more ...oh, and lots and lots of crunches.
