A beach body is an aspiration for many especially when beach season starts. Whether you just began a fitness routine or want a bikini body, fitness superstar, Michelle Lewin opens up reveals her essential summer tips to achieve your body goals. Here are Michelle’s favorite summer fitness tips for a toned figure.
Tone your abs
Michelle uses a variation of leg raises to tone her lower abs. The first one is a leg lift with body twists. Lay down flat, and lift your legs and butt off the floor so your feet are over your face. Once up, twist to one side and push your feet towards the ceiling, lower halfway, then repeat on the other side to work your obliques. On your way back down, don’t let your feet touch the ground!
V-Ups: Lay down flat, and lift your legs up 90 degrees while lifting your arms to try and touch your toes. The leg lift will work your lower abs while the crunch at the top will work your upper abs.
Wear a waist belt
Besides working on her abs, Michelle sleeps every night with the One0One waist belt to enhance her natural shape.
Vegan diet
Even a fitness pro like Michelle can struggle with finding healthy and tasty food. Currently, she reveals she is in “exploring mode” and discovering what she can eat.
Include a high-intensity workout
Though many people can’t afford the luxury to go to a gym, Michelle recommends “efficient HIIT full-body workouts like STRONG Nation that help you burn calories and tone up.” STRONG Nation has 20-min, 30-min and 60-min classes available for free online on YouTube with instructors around the globe live streaming.
Opt for online grocery shopping
Aside from preferring a vegan diet, Michelle opts to shop her groceries online. “Online grocery shopping is a great way to stay on track with your goals because you will not be tempted by all the goodies throughout the grocery store.” In addition, she uses household items such as a chair or gallon of water to complete her workouts.
Sumo squats for glutes
Michelle is a huge fan of squats to keep her glutes toned.
