Prepare to bare

It's time to get ready for beach wear. You can tone your inner thighs easily whilst sitting at a desk, a table or even on the couch. Sit tall and squeeze your knees and ankles together as hard as you can, holding for 20 seconds. Repeat the squeeze throughout the day whenever you remember. Keep your face relaxed or you'll give the game away.

Achieve a flatter tummy by sitting astride a chair so you are facing the back. Hold on lightly to the chair back then lean away as far as you can without letting go. Then release your hands and hold for as long as you can before coming back upright. Try repeating, this time holding for a little longer. Keep taking deep breaths throughout.

A great thigh toning exercise is to stand with your feet apart, bend your knees and lean over resting your elbows on the top of your knees, clasping your hands together. Gently pulse up and down, bending and slightly straightening your legs. Try to make sure your whole body moves up and down, not just your legs! Try 15 reps, rest then repeat. Think of looking great in that bikini.

If you're worried about baring all on the beach this summer, try this exercise to help tone your thighs and lift your bottom. Using a step, put your right foot flat on the step; then move your left foot back, keeping your heel off the floor. Keeping your weight even between both feet, bend your left knee straight down in a vertical line towards the floor, keeping your body upright, then come back up. Do 12 reps - and don't forget the left side.

Want to reach your goal of feeling fab in your bikini this summer? Tone your bottom and thighs by standing with your back against a wall, with your feet apart and ½ a pace away. Slide your back down the wall, bending the knees as far as is comfortable for you (keeping your heels on the floor); and hold for 10 seconds. Rest, then repeat 3 times.

If you'd like a toned tummy to look great in your bikini this summer, use this exercise while sitting. Pull in your tummy in towards the back of the chair as you breathe in, trying not to lift your shoulders. As you breathe out, pull it in even further. Keep repeating for up to 5 minutes or until your tummy feels tired. Make sure you keep your face and neck relaxed, and don't hold your breath.

Show off your arms this summer by toning up the easy way. Just stand with your arms straight out to the side at shoulder height, hands in fists, then make small circles as fast as you can 30 times! Then, keeping your arms where they are, flick the fingers out then back into fists as hard as you can 30 times. Rest, then repeat up to 3 more times. Try to keep your shoulders down.

Start toning your arms by holding a bag of sugar in both hands and stretching your arms straight out in front of you at chest height. Try to keep your shoulders down. Hold as long as you can then relax. Time yourself at the start of the month and again at the end and see how you soon build up your strength.
