Buying new swimwear is one of the most stressful things to go through as a woman. Lots of women are literally terrified of shopping for a bikini as it has been known to destroy the self esteem of even the most resilient ladies. However, it does not have to be this way. Imagine if you could actually begin enjoying buying a bikini and feel confident showing it off at the beach.

To do this you need to do some exercise to slim down and tone up before string bikini season rears its head once more. With a little forward planning, you will be looking hot long before you need to head into the fluorescent lighting of the evil changing rooms.

Aim to include some kind of exercise into your schedule every day. There are always some activities that involve moving and burning off calories that you enjoy. Make sure you include at least a couple of activities each week that you really enjoy. If you can get a friend to join you in the exercise it will make it even more fun and you are much more likely to stick to the program.

On the days when you are not doing your favored activities you have to do a combination of cardio aerobic exercise and toning exercises. Cardio exercises might include power walking, jogging, aerobics, swimming, jump rope or anything else that you end up feeling puffed with. Again, it does not really matter what type of aerobic exercise you are doing, but you should be doing it for about 30 minutes and get out of breath and sweaty. If your face is not red and you are not huffing and puffing, then you are not working hard enough.

As well as cardio you will need to do some targeted exercise on your trouble areas. Most women tend to hold their weight around their butt and thighs. There are a number of very effective toning exercises you can do on this area. Some of the most effective ones are plies, squats and lunges.

There are many different ways to do the butt and thigh toning lunges and squats. If you have bad knees or ankles then you can do them against a wall using a fit ball. For other variations do a quick search on the Internet. Try to include a variety of exercises that target this area. If you retain weight around your tummy, then you will need to include some specific abdominal crunches and core strengthening exercises.

If you want to look really hot in your summer swimwear you will need to drink plenty of water to flush out the toxins in your body that can lead to cellulite. You should also cut out processed foods and stick to loads of fresh food with enough vegetables and fruits.
