With warm weather just a few short months away, it’s time to get in shape to show off that new bathing suit. Washington-area FITNESS TOGETHER owner Matt McKinnis has a few tips for getting in shape for summer.
EAT RIGHT:
• Stay away from the white poison (i.e., sugar)
• Only eat healthy fats, such as olive oil, walnuts, and ground flax seed, to name a few.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
TRAIN RIGHT:
• After completing squats and lunges …do more squats and lunges.
• Try some bench dips to tighten and tone.
• Squeeze in extra cardio workouts.
