Tips for a Sexy Bikini Body
Are you slightly hesitant about being able to fit into your brand new bikini? Well, all those boxes of fried chicken, pizza and donuts piling up in your refrigerator aren’t helping. Plus sitting in front of the TV day and night watching sweeps week will slow your progress as well. However, do not despair. Here are some tips on helping you to get a sexy bikini body.
A healthy diet is the key to creating and maintaining a body that your best critics would kill for. All you really need to do is stay motivated and focused and you’ll see results in no time at all. When counting calories, remember that one pound equals 3500 calories. A safe and healthy way to loose weight and diet is by reducing your daily calorie intake by 500 calories per day. Eat plenty of protein, stay away from high carb meals, sugar (unless it’s natural sugar) found in fruits. Opt for water over fruit juices and sodas and by all means, try your best to stay away from alcohol. They’re empty calories that will counteract all of the hard work you’ve put in up to that point.
Proper and consistent exercise will keep your energy levels high and the pounds will seem to melt away before your eyes. Here are some cardio exercises to hit those troubled spots: For your abs and torso area, crunches and sit ups will help shrink your stomach and even lessen the amount of food you can eat. For your arms and shoulders, elliptical and small weights will firm up any flabby areas and give you an even skin tone. For hips, thighs and buttocks, cycling, running and jogging (getting your heart rate up to 65% of its maximum, which is 220 minus your age times 0.65) burns fat and calories. Plus it tones up all of those loose areas below your hips that shake and jiggle. Remember you must do the above exercises for 30-60 minutes a day at least 5 times a week. The best time is usually before you start your day so afterwards your energy level will be elevated and you’ll breeze through your daily schedule.
So, remember these few extra suggestions that will help you to stay on the right track while working towards your better bikini body. Avoid high calorie snacks. Stick with fruits and vegetables if you’re hungry in between meals. Keep moving. Don’t sit around and become a permanent fixture on the couch. Walk to the store, walk up stairs instead of elevators and do spot exercises while sitting at a work desk or dinner table. Be positive because if you follow these instructions, you will see results and treat yourself to something nice that’s not food when you do. Good luck.

Perfect Female Body
Females are abuzz on the Internet seeking what could be the perfect female body. They do it for two reasons: the first, having the perfect female body shape gives them great satisfaction and self-esteem. And the second, a quite rarely admitted reason, is that the perfect female body size will make them look more attractive to the opposite sex. But the definition for the perfect female body measurements vary based on a variety of factors, most importantly genetics. Let us dispel the 36-24-36 notion once and for all. If you have a long line of slightly heavy-bodied genes, it is going to take some work to undo those. At the same time, curvy perfect female figures are not something just anyone can covet. So for the sake of both the curvy and the skinny, I’ll try to define the perfect female body proportions. Besides, from the point of view of a man, some like skinny women and others like curvy, so it works out just fine!
The Search for the Perfect Female Body
The first step in trying to get the perfect female body is to remember to not try and undo your genes. Undoing human genetics is hard work and very often, not too fruitful. So it is better to accept your existing body shape and try to work on it in a way that is possible. No use trying to go after something you cannot have. Identify your body type. Were you born skinny? Or did you have substantial baby fat? Is it still there? Have you found it hard to get rid of fat over the years? Have you found it harder to gain weight over the years? How tall are you and your parents? Do a complete body-evaluation.
Are You Skinny?
Well then it might just be a futile exercise to try and be curvy. You have to stop feeling bad that you cannot be so and accept the way you are. Besides, most of the women who walk the international ramps today like Heidi Klum or Miranda Kerr, are some of the skinniest women you’ll see! A waist-to-hip ratio of around 0.7 is considered to be the perfect female body ratio. So if you have thin hips, you’ll be thin all over. So as long as you maintain a ratio of 0.7, rest assured that you have a perfect female body for your type. Generally, the hip size should be almost equal to the bust size. A good height of above 5′ 7″ will compliment this female body shape, so get your hands on some of the growing taller secrets. Read the rest of this entry »
