Can’t Miss Beach Body Tips for PremiumTrainers’ Personal Trainers

Lifestyle Tips:
1. While you already know that you should never wait to the last minute to get in shape, it’s important that we tell you again! As personal trainers, we know you will be happier, healthier, have more energy and be less stressed if you eat right and exercise all year round.

2. Start strengthening your core muscles right away and every day. This doesn’t mean doing 100 crunches every day. It means training your deep abdominal muscles, which will flatten your abdominal area and protect your back. Ask your Orange County personal trainer to help you develop a core muscle program.

3. By training your large muscle groups like your legs, hips, chest and back, you will burn more calories and look better faster. Your fitness trainer can work with you to develop an exercise program to help you quickly and efficiently work your large muscle groups.

4. Eat small, frequent meals. Your basal metabolic rate is your greatest source of calorie expenditure. Frequent meals will help it run at a high rate.

5. Make sure you are doing cardiovascular exercise and weight training in conjunction with maintaining healthy eating habits. If you’re working with an Orange County personal trainer, they can develop a unique cardiovascular routine to fit your lifestyle.

Quick Fix Tips:
1. Personal trainers will always tell you to never drink alcohol for at least 12 hours before you head to the beach. Better yet, don’t drink several days before either. Alcohol signals your body to use your sugar storage for fuel, not your fat storage. You will feel less “bloated” if you refrain from drinking.

2. The night before the beach have a piece of protein and some vegetables in order to have your body retain less water. If you’re working with a personal trainer, chances are you are already living by this rule!

3. Don’t even think about dehydrating yourself! Any reputable Orange County personal trainer will tell you that your body needs water to function properly. Your body can survive without food. It cannot survive without water.

4. The morning before the beach eat a small breakfast. Yes, you should be doing this anyway.

5. Lastly, any Orange County personal trainer will tell you that crunches will not make your middle flat. There is no such thing as spot reducing. My best advice to you is to follow the first five options.
