4. Home workouts
What better way to get that dream body than to do it in the comfort of your own home? Roll out of bed and workout in your pajamas for all we care! You can try a home workout video (ie P90X, Insanity, Jillian Michaels etc..) or invest in some dumbbells and an exercise mat and do it on your own. Beware: Home workouts take a lot of discipline… focus!
5. Swimming
Why not take advantage of what’s left of summer and tone up while basking in the sun? Swimming is one of the best ways to tone your muscles, and you can even add in some water aerobics in between laps. Don’t forget about that SPF though, we wouldn’t want anyone getting a sunburn. Now, get on that bikini!
