It's summer already and also the season for swimsuit. Should we do some work out to make your figure more perfect to fit in a swimsuit? I like push-ups. Push-ups are my No. 1 favorite because you can hit six muscles at once: biceps, triceps, deltoids, pecs, abs, and gluteals. Start with a bent-knee push-up, and have a trainer watch once to check your form. And I like squats either, for the butt and thighs. A simple way to do these is to squat against a wall or an exercise ball, into a invisible chair. Keep your feet hip-width apart, and squeeze your abs to avoid arching your back. As you become stronger, you can hold dumbbells to increase the intensity. Aim for 3 sets of 6-12 repetitions.
