What is the Ideal Vacation Body?
If you look better in minimal clothing than covered up, you’ve achieved a great vacation body. This look is achieved with minimal body fat. Lots of people look great with their clothes on, but much less impressive in a bathing suit. It’s possible to have a lot of muscle and fill out a T-shirt well, but if you can’t see your abs, then you won’t look your best in a bathing suit.
Getting a vacation body will also make your face more attractive.
One really nice benefit of reducing your body fat percentage is that it also gives you a leaner, square-jawed face. One of the reasons why GQ models and Abercrombie Models reduce body fat is to make their faces more attractive. With women it emphasizes their cheekbones and gives them a model look. If you lose 10-15 pounds of body fat in your quest for a vacation body, your face will definitely become more attractive.
The simple 21-day program for a vacation body
Don’t let the simplicity fool you… this program works. Here it is in a nutshell.
1) Do at least 1 hour of cardio every day for the 21 days before your vacation
2) Make sure at least 20 minutes of this cardio is intense
3) Do not eat any calories during the 4 hours before or 1 hour after your cardio workout
4) Calculate the ideal weight you are aiming for and multiply it by 8. This number is the maximum number of calories you will consume each day.
5) Have a cup of black coffee if you want extra energy for your workout
6) Do as much or as little weight as you want during these 21 days
Weight lifting is secondary to cardio when looking for a body on vacation
Since your focus is losing body fat, you really don’t need to obsess over lifting weights hard during this time. If you have the energy to hit the weights hard, go for it. If the low calories and cardio are wearing you down, then skip the weights. Muscle tone is primarily a function of low body fat percentage. You will see very good muscle definition throughout your body if you reduce body fat enough.
It is not easy to have a body on vacation, but it is simple!
I bet less than 1% of the population has ever exercised for at least an hour a day for 21 days straight. The way I see it is this… if you want to look better than 99% of people, then you’re going to have to out-perform 99% of people. If you make it through this 21-day period, I guarantee you’ll be thrilled with the results. You will also gain the confidence that comes with knowing that you are more self-disciplined than 99% of the population.
Only 21 days for a vacation body… Time to do it!
