Your bikini is calling. He wants to know if you made good on your promise and got a killer body. Are your alarm bells ringing now? Rest assured, with these complete workouts and tips on nutrition and supplementation, you can get your body ready for bikini weather. All you have to do is give this program your full attention for four weeks.
Four weeks for the beach figure
You'll always do the same workout split and exercises. But each week you'll increase the intensity and use supersets, drop sets, and circuits to build female muscle and lose fat. Read this workout plan before you go to the gym and then give it your all there.
Overview of your beach body workout
Week 1: Here we go
The first week is all about getting used to the routines and exercises. You should do each set completely and take a break of 30 to 45 seconds between sets.
You will do HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) for 20 minutes per session for three days. You can choose the cardio machine of your choice. Which days you want to take for this is also up to you.
Week 2: Supersets
The intensity is increased. This week you combine two exercises as supersets. This means that you do the two workouts directly one after the other and without a break. Take the first two exercises of your training plan. The next two are for the second superset (and so on). Between each superset you can pause for 30 to 45 seconds.
Again, do your HIIT workout for three days and try to push it a little harder.
Week 3: Super Drop Sets
You continue with the supersets, but on the last pass of each superset you add a drop set to both exercises. During a drop set, you continue the movements with a lighter weight after you could no longer lift the heavier weight.
Note: On the days of plyometric exercises and abdominal training, omit the drop sets and proceed as in the second week.
Continue with your 3-day HIIT workout, but do two additional 10-minute runs of walking lunges (without added weights). This gets in your legs and butt nicely. Add to that a 15- to 30-minute "regular" cardio session of your choice.
Week 4: Circuit speed
Train hard this last week or stay home instead of going to the beach. Do all the exercises every day in a continuous circuit workout with the prescribed number of repetitions and with little to no rest within the circuit. You can rest for 60 to 90 seconds between two rounds. Do a total of four circuits.
Your cardio program is identical to the one from the third week. Improve it by using a little more energy and intensity.

Beach body nutrition - overview
The workout accounts for only 25 percent of success. Another 25 percent comes from recovery. The other half comes from your Nutrition. Here you can get the most for the Fat loss do if you plan your meals with a little forethought.
Important tips on nutrition
- Don't skip a meal if you want to eat regularly. Otherwise, you may eat too much at once when you get hungry later. Eating on a schedule is an effective way to achieve your goals.
- Drink plenty of water so you stay hydrated and don't get "false hunger" as well as the fat burning also leads to fat loss.
- Eat proteins with every meal. They are more filling than fats and carbohydrates and help you maintain your muscle mass.
- Eat unlimited amounts of fibrous vegetables such as asparagus, Brussels sprouts, celery, cabbage, black and green beans, kale, broccoli, cauliflower and spinach. You'll feel fuller and eat less of other foods.
- Do you have favorite unhealthy foods? Eat them in moderation. If you have a sweet tooth, make healthy alternatives to your favorites. This will motivate you to stick with the program. Recipes are a dime a dozen on the Internet.
- Mistakes are human. If you can't control yourself one day, just keep going consistently the next.
- Replace the conventional cooking oil with a MCT oil. MCT oil cannot be stored by the body, so it is metabolized quickly and completely and provides additional energy.
Nutritional supplements for your beach body
There are no supplements that explicitly help you lose weight. They are only what they are: Supplements. A good supplement can boost your metabolism, helping your body burn more fat. A few good "supps" are listed here:
A multivitamin preparation to fill nutritional gaps.
Protein powder for muscle building
BCAA (branched-chain amino acids) to support recovery and as an energy source during strength and endurance training.
Fat-Burner are the proverbial icing on the cake, as they suppress your appetite and boost your metabolism. However, you shouldn't use them for more than four weeks because most fat burners contain stimulants that your body isn't used to.
