Summer Shape Up

SUMMER SHAPE UP: THE ULTIMATE MILF WORKOUT
GIVE HEALTH AND FITNESS TRAINER EXTRAORDINAIRE LORI SAWYER THIRTY MINUTES AND
SHE'LL GIVE YOU THE ACCESSORY OF THE SEASON: THE BODY YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED

So you have decided to start working out again now that a burst of spring is in the air—and you are panicking.
With Memorial Day just around the corner, summer wedding invitations piling up and visions of beach days
dancing in your head, you want to lose 10 pounds—or more—fast. Well, determined MILFs out there (and by MILF,
I mean Mother In Love with Fitness, of course), if you are truly ready to live in the body you deserve (read: no
sludge hanging over the jeans) then do this 30-minute total body workout. It's time to get your heart rate up—that's
how you're going to burn the fat—and tone the muscles underneath it. Yes, it's time to get ready to enjoy the summer
the way it's supposed to be enjoyed: footloose—sleeveless and maybe even a glimpse of belly—and fancy-free.

What you'll need:

	Hand weights. I recommend eight to 10-pound ones, but just make sure that whatever weight you chose, it's a challenge for you.
	A jump rope
	Good, old fashioned discipline, drive and determination

THE WORKOUT
Complete each exercise for one minute—no rests in between:

	Jump rope
	Pushups
	Dips (can be done on your coffee table or a sturdy chair)
	Overhead shoulder press
	Jump rope
	Alternating lunges with hand weights
	Pushups
	Dips
	Jump rope
	Power squat (jump legs out slightly wider than shoulder width, then jump and bring legs together into a squat)
	Side raises
	Alternating bicep curls with hand weights
	Jump rope
	Alternating Lunges with Hand Weights
	Pushups
	Dips
	Overhead shoulder press
	Jump rope
	Power squat
	Side raises
	Alternating bicep curls
	Jump rope
	50 abdominal crunches
	50 reverse crunches (bring knees to chest)
	50 bicycle crunches (opposite knee to elbow and switch)

Remember to drink plenty of water (about 100 ounces a day is optimal) and eat healthy, natural foods (if you can't pronounce the ingredients, you shouldn’t eat them). And remember: if you exercise five times a week, you will see the pounds come off.

And the most important thing to remember is that if you have pain at any time, stop this routine exercise immediately. Make sure you have clearance from your doctor before you begin this or any exercise program.
