9 Bodybuilding Tips To Look Great In Your Bikini

By Ricardo d Argence

1. Embrace Your Curves. So you've put on a little weight over the winter. This isn't the end of the world because right now curvier women are being toted as more attractive than the runway look anyway. The key is finding a bathing suit that is going to emphasize your best features. When you do this correctly, the parts you are less than confident in will not be as noticeable.

2. Pretty much everyone will look better when they are sporting a nice, golden tan. It is no big secret that all fitness and bodybuilding competitor's lather on the tanning sprays before hitting the stage. Your muscles will be more defined and you will give off an overall leaner appearance. So either give yourself a few sessions in a tanning bed before summer, or if you are worried about the harmful effects of beds, try a tanning spray or cream.

3. Count your carbs! If you eat a lot of refined carbohydrates you're going to find yourself more likely to retain water, something that's not going to help you look your best when you head out in your bikini. Instead of indulging in the carbs, try eating more fruits, vegetables, and unprocessed grains to look your best.

4. Try adding interval training to your workout. Not only does this help fight weight gain and really burn fat and calories, this high intensity workout can also firm and tone your muscles. Start with a burst of intense work for a full 30 seconds before dropping to easy for a minute and a half, followed by a thirty minute rest. As you get better and stronger, you can increase the time you work, and decrease the time you rest.

5. Stand Up Straight. Possibly the single most important thing you could do to instantly look better when in a bikini is use good posture. Pulling your shoulders back and keeping your head up will not only give you loads of confidence but will also pull your stomach in and improve the curvature of your back.

6. Try adding some squats into your workout routine. If there's any single routine that will do the most for your thighs and butt, this is the one. It's an intense workout that will really burn calories while targetting the muscles of your thighs and glutes, helping you add shape and definition.

7. Drink More Water. Staying well hydrated will not only keep your skin looking clearer but it will also help to reduce any bloating you are experiencing from the foods you eat. If you aren't getting 7-8 glasses a day, now is a great time to start.

8. Add In Some Uphill Walking. If you are a big fan of walking for your cardio workouts, try ramping this up by going at it on an incline. This increases the intensity greatly and will really target your glute muscles. If you want a toned back side, this is one form of cardio that will get you there fast! Alternate periods of incline with flat (or alternatively find a hilly path to walk on) to build up your endurance.

9. Relax! Lastly, don't forget to have a good time this summer. Remember that the more comfortable you feel, the better image of yourself you will project and thus the more attractive you will look. Don't force yourself to wear a bathing suit that you don't think looks good. If you still aren't completely confident, look for one of the wraps they have available. - 17269
