The same survey indicated that more than 40 percent of women take up to eight weeks to get ready for swimsuit season. With exercise and the Special K Chal- lenge", women can be swimsuit ready in just two weeks. Those women participating are able to lose an inch in two weeks.

Stay Focused Most people start out with the best intention to exercise; however, they allow one excuse after another to interfere with their workouts, which cause them to lose momentum. If you don’t have time to do your regular workoutin its entirety, don’t abandon the whole thing. Don’t Rush Face it, you are probably not going to win the title of Miss Fitness your first week. Do not cram every fitness exercise into a single session. Focus on core areas such as the arms andchest one day and hips and thighsthe next. Mix It Up Changing up your usual workout will keep your muscles from getting too comfortable, which often results in a plateau. Increase the weight and lower the number of repetitions (low rep overload). Or, if you’re already lifting a lot of weight, try the reverse by lowering the weight and increasing the number of repetitions (high rep overload). You can also add a second or third set of reps to your exist- ing workout. Everything In Moderation With the right combination of food and exercise, you can trim down and tone up quickly. Do not overdo it. Eating right does not have to taste bad; you can still indulge in your favorites. Be careful not to overindulge. Learn more by searching “Special K” at Yahoo.com.
