EXTREME Bikini Body Workout

July 12, 2012 5 Comments

*Rockin’ my bikini body at Monte Carlo Beach Club (June 2012)*

Duration: 1 – 1.5 hours
Calories Burned: 700 – 1,000
Focus: Maximum calorie burn, rectus abdominis (abs), quads and hamstrings (thighs)
Facts: Circuit training is the most effective way to get both cardiovascular and strength conditioning in your workouts. The cardio segments blast calories while the resistance segments keep your body burning calories long after you finish working out.
Brit’s Commentary: Let’s face it, no matter your size or body composition, took look good in a bikini you need 3 things: 1) Flat tummy 2) Toned thighs and 3) most importantly SELF-CONFIDENCE. I created this workout to give you just that. It focuses on the abs, thighs and overall calorie burn to make you look lean from head to toe. Since this workout is a DOOZY, simply getting through it will surely boost your self-confidence. Try throwing this workout into your regimen once a week for that extra PUSH towards your ultimate beach body. Enjoy 🙂

Inspiration & Motivation

4-week tone up challenge: COMPLETE

June 5, 2012 3 Comments

“Done and Done! The 4-week tone up challenge was truly a great mix up to my winter workout rut. I appreciated having set days to work out and set days to recover. Also, the structured workout plan gave me goals and checklists which were extremely helpful when fitting workouts into my busy schedule. Overall, I am loving the results so far and will continue to use Brit’s workouts ALL summer. This is just the kick-start I needed to get beach body ready. After only 4 weeks my “six-pack” is starting to show and my legs are significantly more toned! I’m looking forward to some new workouts for my post Italian vacation in a couple of weeks to help me get back on track after a little R&R with a great friend (Brit).” – Jan

Abs & Core Workout: Beyonce 6 Pack Abs Workout

May 28, 2012 10 Comments

beyonce abs — After doing my ab workout , you’ll be on your way to a sexy stomach like Beezy!

Alright, you guys asked for it so here it is – “Six Pack by Summer Vol. 2” If you missed Vol. 1, click here to check it out.

Vol. 2 is no joke and will definitely get your tummy tight! Do the entire circuit which consists of 4 complete parts. For best results, do the whole circuit at least 3 times per week AND up the intensity and duration of your cardio workouts (can’t forget those). Once you get it down, try to lengthen the duration and reps of each exercise. The entire workout should take about 20 minutes.

I’ve also included some pictures of the exercises below (compliments of my lil sis who I used to test this out) – Enjoy 🙂

PART 1

GRIT 056 — Plank Jacks – jump toes out and in

GRIT 052 — Mountain climbers – switch feet fast

PART 2

GRIT 050 — Bicycle crunches – alternating

GRIT 047 — Single leg toe touches (example: right hand/left toe)

PART 3

GRIT 068 — Plank Hip Dips – with elbows on the floor, twist torso alternate hips down

GRIT 060 — Plank side to side jumps – keep feet together

GRIT 055 — Froggers – jump both feet up and back as fast as you can

PART 4

GRIT 065 — Leg Circles – take legs all the way around, almost touching floor

GRIT 049 — Flutter kicks – kick feet up and down fast
