Getting a spring break body: do's and don'ts
Studies have shown that you can build a pound of muscle in only two weeks. With that one pound increase of lean muscle mass, you've just raised your metabolic rate to burn an extra 30 to 50 calories per day.
Don't: Fry in a tanning bed.
Do: Try a tanning lotion like Jergens Natural Glow or Neutrogena Sunless Tanning Lotion.
Two weeks is more then enough time for your skin to look more bronzed with daily application. Just be sure to the follow directions so you don't turn orange!
If you want a more intense sun-kissed, look try getting a spray tan at the local tanning salon.
There are different levels so you can choose the shade of your tan.
Don't: Wear a bathing suit that doesn't fit correctly.
Do: Find a suit that flatters your shape and fits. As an ocean lifeguard during the summer months, I do a lot of people-watching.
There's nothing worse then when a top is too small and prohibits someone from doing fun beach activities, or a bottom that just doesn't cover what it should. Don't be that person!
Don't: Complain about your body.
Do: Appreciate your body and give thanks for your health. Focus on the positives like great legs or a perfect smile instead of pointing out the areas you would like to improve. No one is perfect, and the truth is you're probably the only one who notices these presumed flaws.
Do: Have fun! You deserve it.
