Get in swimsuit shape
with these workout boosters from celeb trainer Ilyse Baker. She’s worked with
stars like Rihanna, and last week, she took over GL’s Facebook wall for our
virtual bikini bod booty camp. Here are her favorite ideas for getting fit this
summer…
For
a killer core, try burpees. “They
get your heart rate up and work your core at the same time,” Ilyse says. Wanna
trim your middle and whittle away at winter flab? Try side planks, regular
planks, and push-ups.
Turn
to cardio for lovely legs. Running,
dancing and walking will get your calves looking amazing. Give your workouts a
boost with dance classes! And for lean thighs, there’s nothing better than
squats and lunges.
To
tone up fast, start with small weights and high reps. Do the basics to get going: bicep
curls, tricep dips, squats, lunges, crunches. Grab a friend and have a toning
party!
Want
six-pack abs this summer? “I
always tell my clients that simple crunches do the job just fine,” Ilyse says.
“Planks are a big favorite of mine.”
