SAS-E For Summer

Summer is all about showing some skin!
Maybe you wont be putting on a bikini, but chances are you will at least be in a tank top.

Here is one of my SAS-E (short and sweet exercise) routines. It works your back, chest and arms – all you need is a Valband Deluxe.

This is meant to be done as a circuit. Do each exercise consecutively, then rest for 1 minute at the end of the circuit. Do this circuit 3-4 times.

SAS-E routines are a great way to get your workout in when life seems to get a little crazy! These short and sweet circuits are ideal for when you’ve been working too many hours, are too tired or for when you just can’t imagine 45 to 60 minutes in the gym. Designed to help you stay on track and consistent with your workouts, you can never have enough SAS-E options! As a bonus, my new I Want My Bikini Body 3.0 comes with 10 SAS-E workouts – now there’s no excuse to not stay on top of your fitness routine!

Val’s Top 5 Bikini Body Shortcuts

Spring has sprung, and bikini season will be here before we know it. Can you imagine yourself on the beach in a bikini? If that thought has you mortified then read on for my “Top 5 Bikini Body Shortcuts”.

1. Start Now!
Don’t wait for Monday or until you’re less busy, stressed, tired, etc. You can make simple changes right now that will have you feeling bikini ready by June.

2. Kitchen Purge.
This is a great place to start. If you’ve decided that you’re ready to get a bikini body, then it helps to take immediate action. Get a large trash bag and throw out all the junk. This includes cookies, crackers, white rice, bread and pasta, sodas, peanut butter that isn’t all natural, and any other overly processes food. The reason for this is to eliminate temptation. I believe that if you have to rely on willpower, your program will ultimately fail. If your trigger food is not in the house when a craving hits, you are far less likely to eat it. If you want to be bikini ready, you will need to learn how to eat “clean”. In my book, Red Carpet Ready, I share with you the best foods to have on hand, but to get you going, choose foods with few ingredients, ie. chicken breast, spinach, eggs, oats, apples … you get the idea.

3. Strength Train.
The best shortcut to a bikini body is to use resistance. It can be body weight, stretchy bands, machines, or free weights. My specially designed circuits will blast fat and create sexy curves in record time. You can do them at home or at the gym, so there is no excuse!

Val’s Sample Circuit:

Valband side to side hops (20 reps)
Single leg reach across (15 reps)
Valslide reverse lunge with 2 arm row (12 reps, each side)
Dumbbell chest press with twist (15 reps x 10lbs)
Stability ball roll-aways (15 reps)
Crunches on stability ball (20 reps)
**do circuit 3 times**

4. Be Accountable.
One of the reasons I am so successful with getting clients in shape is that I hold them accountable. I have my clients write down the foods they are eating and I review this with them. While not everyone has a trainer to be held accountable to, the Red Carpet Ready Club (members’ forum) does an amazing job. As one Red Carpet Ready member said, “The forum is one of the first things I think of when I might get off track with my eating or exercise. To know that everyone is supporting me and cheering me on towards success keeps me motivated to stay on track, be accountable for my workouts and think twice before I eat something I know I shouldn’t” -Nikki
