Eight Weeks to a Beach-Ready Body
The best exercises for your arms, butt, belly and thighs.
by Martha Schindler
With spring in the air, summer is right around the corner. That means it's time to get your winter butt off the couch and prepare for bikini season! But why the horrified look? "Lots of women dread the thought of putting on a swimsuit after a long winter," explains Michael Wood, a certified personal trainer and assistant coach of athletic strength and conditioning at the University of Connecticut. "If you haven't been working out, you're probably self-conscious about showing your body. Even when you're in good shape, you feel better about some spots than others." But don't fret: Do the following exercises three days a week and get some aerobic exercise — such as walking, hiking or cycling — on the other days, and you can build a beach-bound body in just eight weeks.
Winter-body woe: My arms are jiggly!
Arm-slimming exercise # 1: Push-ups.
Use an inflatable exercise ball to seriously work the upper body, says Bonne Marano, a certified trainer in New York City. Lie facedown on the floor, positioning a 55 centimeter ball beneath your thighs. Get into push-up position, with your hands under your shoulders and your elbows bent. Raise and then lower your body until your nose almost reaches the floor, keeping your spine in a straight line, then push back up. Do 12 to 15 reps.
Arm-slimming exercise # 2: Dumbbell pullovers.
This exercise tones the triceps at the back of the upper arms. Do this sitting or standing, working one arm at a time. Hold a five-pound dumbbell behind your head, with your bent elbow beside your ear, pointing toward the sky, and your palm facing your head. Extend the weight straight up, keeping your upper arm in line with your body. Bend your elbow and slowly lower the weight back down to your shoulder. Do 12 to 15 reps with each arm.
Winter-body woe: My bottom is unbearable!
Bum-busting exercise # 1: Traveling lunges.
Teale Dotson, a personal trainer at the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas, recommends this bum-buffing move. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and take a big step forward with your right leg, making sure your knee stops above your ankle and doesn't bend more than 90 degrees. Plant your foot and shift your weight onto your right leg; bring your left foot beside the right. Alternate lead legs. Do 10 to 12 reps with each leg.
Bum-busting exercise # 2: Lateral hops.
Bust your bottom with explosive movements. Pick two points on the floor about two feet apart to serve as markers (floor tiles or pieces of tape will work). Stand at one marker, with your arms at your sides, knees slightly bent. Hop sideways to land at the second marker. Jump back again quickly. Do five to 10 sets.
Winter-body woe: My midriff is miserable!
Tummy-tightening exercise # 1: Reverse crunches.
The secret to a sleek stomach is toned abdominals. Lie on your back, knees bent, with an inflatable exercise ball between your ankles. Contract your abs, point your legs skyward and lift your hips an inch. Reach skyward with your arms and take the ball from between your ankles, then slowly lower your hips. Repeat, this time putting the ball back between your ankles. Do 10 to 12 reps.
Tummy-tightening exercise # 2: Roll up, roll down.
Adapted from Pilates, this exercise uses an elastic band. Sit up tall with your legs extended in front of you, knees together. Position the band so its middle section is across the soles of your feet. Wrap the ends around each hand to create tension in the band with your arms extended. Contract your abdominals and pull your torso down toward your hips. Keeping both your abs and the band taut, roll very slowly backward until your shoulder blades touch the floor. Return to the starting position. Do 10 to 12 reps.
Winter-body woe: My thighs are thunderous!
Thigh-toning exercise # 1: Plié squats.
This move is borrowed from ballerinas. Stand up straight, feet apart a few inches wider than your shoulders, toes pointed out at a 45-degree angle. Keep your head up, knees slightly bent, hips and lower back relaxed. Move your hips and buttocks back and down, as if sitting in a chair, until your thighs are parallel to floor. Hold for a few seconds, then return to starting position. Do 12 to 15 reps.
Thigh-toning exercise # 2: Crescent kicks.
Straight from the boxing ring, this move will tone your gams. Start in a fighter's stance by putting most of your weight on your left foot, planted a few inches in front of the right, and keeping your knees and elbows bent and your hands in front of your face. Lift your right leg up and kick it around in a half-circle, from left to right, keeping your foot flexed and toes toward the ceiling. Do 15 to 20 reps with each leg.
