I've always been a little unsure of those workouts/diet plans that are often found in health and fitness magazines. I suppose this feeling stems from the fact that I fully believe health is a relative term. What is healthy for one person, may be unhealthy for another. This is why I don't think diets work. Of course, you may loose some weight if you follow an eating plan, but this isn't certain for everyone. This also relates to working out. Yes, daily exercise is good for everyone, but the type of exercise and the benefits they bring will vary depending on the person. Because of this, I often pass by magazine workouts and eating plans without giving them much thought. I figure I know my body better than these people, so I don't need to take their advice.
The only problem with this is: I get bored. I value health and always make it a point to eat in a balanced way that leaves me feeling satisfied. I also incorporate daily exercise into every area of my life that it will allow. I feel like I have found "my healthy" and it works out pretty good for the most part, but I'm in need of a change. With warmer weather just around the corner, I feel like I need to step it up and try something new.
Apparently, Fitness Magazine has a way to combine both. Their Bikini Body Makeover promises to tone, tighten and whip you into bikini shape in just 4 weeks.
4 weeks? Bikini? Sounds like quite the lofty goal if you ask me. Well, even though you didn't ask me, I am putting you to the test, Fitness. For the next 4 weeks, this girl is going to replace most of her typical workout regimen with your bikini body workout and maybe even give your eating plan a try.
To be honest, I will probably stick to the workout plan more than the eating plan. I only say this because I usually snack way more than they suggest and I typically eat less calories than they allow. I also love an impromptu zumba sesh every once and awhile, so the workouts might be a tad bigger on some days than others.
From what I can tell, the program changes slightly each week, so I will post an update/updates over the next month tracking my progress.
Does a magazine have the power to get women in shape in just a month? We are about to find out.
