Toning Tricks for a Fabulous Figure

With a summer schedule packed full of swim parties, evening soirees and summer jobs, how's a girl to find time to tone up that bod? Put those multi-tasking skills to use and get buff while you bathe in the sun. Have ten minutes to spare? Tiza can shape you up in no time.

Swimming, of course, burns calories. Don't just lie by the pool--get out there. Start a volleyball match, a game of chicken or doggie paddle races.

Sugary drinks can pour pounds into your toosh. Margaritas and sugary drinks may make your taste buds sweat, but stick with lemon water or diet soda. Ask for a martini glass if you wanna feel like movie star chilling poolside.

While lying out, practice those Pilates positions. On your back, tuck your tailbone under and try to get your spine as flat on your towel as possible. This works your abs for a sexy summer stomach.

If you're on the beach, go for a walk. Come on, you're on the beach! Burn those thighs and meet cute guys at the hotel two doors down.

Stay hydrated. Your body can play a nasty trick on you when you don't give it enough water. Thirst can easily be mistaken for hunger when you're dehydrated. Always drink a glass of water before eating anything. Then, see what your body has to say.

Buddy up with a trusted poolside pal. Commit to thirty minutes a day of working out--whether it's on a treadmill or taking a boxing class at your local gym. Then, reward yourself with a splash in the pool!

Try these trusted shortcuts and you'll feel great--in a bodacious bikini and smoking summer dress!
