Lazy Girl Hacks: Fitness Edition – 5 Exercises To Get You Ready For Summer

5 Exercises To Get You Ready For Summer

Let's be real–finding an excuse to skip the gym is basically the easiest thing to do every day. To keep excuses to a minimum, we've got some tips to keep you on track + a quick, at-home workout that will get you ready for bikini season!

Tip 1: Keep your workouts short. You can always do a short, intense workout, which can ultimately be better for you than a long, drawn-out workout where you don't push yourself! We are talking a 10-minute max workout. That's it!

Tip 2: Start your day with a workout! That way you get it out of the way and then you don't have a chance to skip it later. :)

Tip 4: Schedule a fitness date with your friends. That way, you are held accountable and have to stick to the game plan. :)

Tip 5: Get your Gym Bag ready the night before. Then there is no rush (which can ultimately lead you to skip)!

Tip 6: Have a routine! If your workout schedule feels like second nature, you won't be so tempted to skip it.

Tip 7: Do you often find yourself too tired to hit the gym? Make sure you stay caffeinated! A few sips of coffee or green tea will make sure you get your energy back on track.

Tip 8: Follow fitness stars on social media to find some inspiration and set some goals!

Tip 9: Our favorite...Reward yourself! :) When you reach a certain goal, it's important to treat yourself. Whether it's a meal of your choice, new clothes, or workout gear (like this cute Monogrammed Tank Top), it's important to give yourself some credit after putting in the work. :)

Tip 10: Make sure you are getting enough rest every night. And let's be honest, it's a great excuse to be lazy a little longer!

Don't have time for the gym today? This at-home workout is quick and sure to give you a summer body (as long as you are consistent)! :)

10 Burpees

20 Mountain Climbers

15 Push-Ups

20 Squats

15 High Knees

Make sure that you do not rest between movements! Repeat all five movements five times. You can rest 1 minute after each round, but make sure you push yourself to get faster each time!
