Do you workout to live a long healthy life? Sure. Do you workout to look good in the buff? Heck yeah! Let’s be real, living a long healthy life is a by product of what drives us to workout. Looking amazing in your swimsuit, lingerie or even your everyday clothes is what really motivates us to go hard in the gym. Here are some tips on how to look better naked in a week!

·        Drink a gallon of water a day. This helps flush all the sodium and toxins out of your system. Yes, I do realize you will be spending more time in the restroom but now you have a real excuse to leave your desk.

·        Consume 5-6 small meals a day. Your metabolism is like a fire. If you feed the fire too much (eat too much food) the fire will get smothered and go out. If you don’t feed the fire enough (eat very little) the fire will go out. If you feed that fire a log ever couple hours (eating 5-6 small meals a day) you can keep that fire burning as long as you need.

·        Do some form of cardio for 30-45 minutes four times a week.

·        Try out high-intensity interval training. It is great for getting your heart rate up while also strength training. Include compound movements so that you’re working more muscles at once. For example squat press which is where you do a box squat with a shoulder press.

·        Avoid sodium enriched food and fried foods.
