How much graft really goes into a Bikini Body…

01 July 2021

With the much-anticipated Love Island now back on our TV screens and of course, all over our phone screens, we’re getting our heads turned with a daily dose of bikini-wearing amazing looking females. But having your body on camera 24/7 for the whole nation to see and even judge and only wearing swimwear for a whole summer is by no means an easy task. Getting those bodies to Love Island standard takes some serious work. Here at PT Academy, we looked into how exactly you can crack on and get that bikini body without losing your head:

1.Strength training.

Muscle can be a tricky subject, especially when it comes to female fitness but simply put the more muscle you have the more fat you burn. Most women worry that by doing strength training they will bulk up but actually it’s quite the opposite. Your muscles will be lean and toned and you’ll also burn way more calories on a daily basis.

2.Get that core ready.

One of the most common places people worry about in a bikini is of course your stomach, but if you think doing hundreds of sit-ups is going to give you washboard abs, then think again. The experts say the best way to work your core is doing wall sits, planks and leg raises!

3.Morning workouts.

Exercising first thing in the morning is a sure-fire way to get your metabolism going for the rest of the day, which in turn will help you lose weight much quicker and get those calories burning throughout the day. Also, try and have something small to eat before you exercise and then your brekkie afterwards or even opt for some faster cardio if you can.

4.Push-ups.

Not got time to spend hours in the gym. Need that bikini body asap? Then push-ups are the workout for you. With just one exercise you can work six muscles including your biceps, triceps, chest, abs, glutes, and shoulders, so why train one muscle when you can train six? On your knees or on your toes this should be your go-to exercise.

So, if you want that bikini body then it’s time to start a loyal relationship with that fitness routine!
