The girlfriend and I are hitting Florida in two weeks and I can for the first time in a long time say that when it comes time to pull off my shirt to soak up the rays, I will be doing it without a bit of self consciousness! Thanks to resistance bands and couch to 5k I have been able to achieve a pretty decent beach body. While I am not sporting a 6-pack (yet!) I am still over 50 pounds lighter than I was this time last year and my arms, legs, and chest are quite tone.
When it comes to getting the beach body you want, you have to exercise. There is no way around it. There is no secret diet or weight loss pill that will take the pounds off AND build muscle. It’s simple science! You lose weight by burning calories and you build and tone muscles by resistance training. It’s amazing how many people try to find shortcuts around an already very simple process.
Exercising is NOT HARD. The hardest part of any workout routine is getting off the couch! Once you get up and get moving it starts to feel good, even if you are a first timer. When the sweat starts to build up the body starts releasing endorphins and other feel good chemicals to help you endure the pain. If you exercise properly though, there won’t be any pain, just a great sense of accomplishment.
Dieting is far harder than exercising. Most of your eating habits and choices have been burned into your brain over the course of decades and breaking those habits can be pretty stressful. If you are going to be shooting for having your own beach body someday then I suggest you do what I did and start with small changes. Set small goals for yourself, goals that you know you can achieve, and then when you hit those goals you will KNOW that you can do it. As you achieve your small goals, make them a bit bigger next time around. Before you know it you will be achieving things you never thought you could and you will be losing weight fast.
