27 Expert Tips for a Toned, Sexy Summer Body

Ready to sculpt a beach-ready body before your holiday? These proven tips from fitness experts make it simple and effective. Let the summer shine on your confident new figure!

1. Move More Every Day
No need for extreme challenges—just commit to daily movement and build gradually. Start with squats to target thighs, hamstrings, and glutes for a firmer backside. Personal trainer Koen Bakker recommends: 'Begin with 45 squats spread throughout the day: 10 in the morning, 15 in the afternoon, and 20 in the evening. Increase daily for real results.'

2. Stay Hydrated
Proper hydration curbs snacking by distinguishing thirst from hunger. Even 1% dehydration can sap 10% of your energy, leading to fatigue and overeating. Aim for at least seven large glasses of water daily—sip one 20 minutes before and after meals. Read also: Drinking enough water—this is how you do it.
