Obtaining your best summer body can be easy when you have a plan, and you stick to it. First thing you need to do is pick a goal, one that really hits home, one that when you think about it you feel something.

Excited, scared,

nervous, whatever the more you feel the better because this will help you stay focused on your goal. Once you've picked your goal ask yourself why you want this goal in particular. Be honest with yourself! Do you want to feel better in the swimsuit you bought or maybe you have a one piece suit and you want to wear a bikini. These of course are just a couple of examples you will have your own unique reason for wanting to reach your goal.

Lose Body Fat ...... it's like unwrapping a present .... whats inside is always better than the wrapping ..... if you don't have a six pack yet then sorry to say you have some body fat to lose .... that's okay you aren't the only one. And sorry to burst your bubble, but you can not just target your stomach when it comes to losing body fat .... the only way to do that is lipo suction and if you are getting it then you probably are not reading this article. So here are a few ways that have been proven time and again to drop that body fat and work towards those beautiful abs you've been dreaming of. But don't fool yourself into thinking that working out for 4 weeks will get you your results, this is a process it's going to take time, commitment, and dedication. And then once you get what you want .... don't forget to maintain. You don't want to lose what you worked so hard for. This is a lifestyle change not just something you do to get six pack abs. 1. DIET: I'm not going to go too much into detail on this BUT this is THE most important part of losing your body fat .. . .sorry no more slurpees, mc donalds or anything processed. 2. CARDIO
