 Natalie’s Tip and Spot Check
Natalie’s Tip:
It’s April and that means summer is around the corner.
This month don’t fool yourself! Now is the time to focus on getting your body ready for bathing suit season. To get results your regimen must include resistance training, cardio training and good, healthy eating habits. If you only incorporate 2 of these, you will get some results, but not the maximum results. You owe it to yourself to do it! What are you waiting for?

Spot Check:
Last month we started our plan to get you ready for bikini season. This month we are focusing on the glutes and legs by doing a cardio hill-walking workout that is very effective and one of my favorite exercises. This exercise exaggerates the hip extension movement, which works the glutes and the legs. Beginners should do this workout 2 times a week; advanced exercisers should aim for 3 or 4 times a week. Start at a slow speed -- I recommend 2.5 mph -- and place the treadmill at the highest incline level. For the first 5 minutes, keep increasing the speed to a comfortable rate where you are able to walk without grabbing the handles. Beginners, try to maintain your walk at 3.5 mph and advanced exercises, strive for 5 mph. Stay there for 10 to 15 minutes, then reduce your speed and incline for 2 minutes. Don’t forget to stretch afterward.
