3 Weeks To Summer Fit
Summer is closing in fast , which means lot of time sweating on the beach and bike — shirt optional . Whether you ’ re trying to look good in just board shorts of or getting to fighting shape to make the most of a surf vacation , trainer Ron Mathews has your number . Here , he shares tips to effectively get in shape quick . If you start now , you don ’ t have to follow Matthews ’ grueling three-week workout plan , although with dedication and the right mindset , you ’ ll make it just in time for when both the shirts and fireworks go off in the hot season .
How early should you really start on your summer body ?
That would depend on your weight and how much you want to lose . The standard is that you lose about two pounds a week , so if you have to lose 100 pounds , you ’ re not going to do it in one month . And if you ’ re going to lose five , then doing it in a month is doable . It all depends on when you ’ re standing .
Is it possible ( and healthy ) to look better in three weeks ?
You can safely and healthily lose five to ten pounds in three weeks — and in a way that you can easily maintain by keeping active and watch what you eat . Five to ten pounds may not seem like a lot , but you have to remember a pound of fat is the size of a softball , so five to ten is the size of a basketball , and that can really alter the shape of your body . It can make a big visual impact in a short amount of time .
