Winter is the perfect season to hide behind long sleeves. During the freezing months, dealing with less-than desirable limb shapes can easily be put off until it’s almost too late. But with summer already upon us, its time to break out the sleeveless tops and get back into shape.
As desirable as the result may be, actually getting those sleek, toned arms before the summer months come to an end probably isn’t the most exciting way to spend your free time. Let’s admit it, who doesn’t want to look good?
And exercising in the heat of August – who really wants to do that? Why don’t you hit the pool for a little cool down, instead? Believe it or not, swimming is one of the easiest and most effective ways to tone your arms and get your entire body into tip-top shape.
Spending just an hour or two swimming each day can get you on the right track to a super toned upper and lower body – with no extra equipment needed. Easy? You bet!
I encourage you to work a little harder for the rest of this summer season to achieve a body that won’t leave you scavenging for reasons not to break out your favorite tank top or spaghetti-strap dress. There’s no reason you can’t obtain a fit, desirable body and fit, toned arms.
Come join me for pool and aqua fitness classes this summer. It’s not about swimming laps, but about fun with pool weights, bands, and noodles.
Get up, get out, and get fit!
