Work hard, play hard.
It seems to be the reoccurring theme of summer, does it not?
Even if you're super fit, admit it: You've been indulging and your summer bod could use a little reset before your next beach trip. According to Tone It Up babes Karena Dawn and Katrina Scott, you can turn things around in as little as five days. No you're not going to magically drop 20 pounds or rewrite your entire approach to health in under a week, but if you stick with these key moves, you'll be well on your way.
First order of business? Debloat. In other words, nix sodium-laden foods (adios to cheesy fries and double-stuffed crust pizza) and load up on water—half your body weight in ounces, to be exact. For nutrition, the girls live by a lean, clean and green mantra year-round. If you're looking to detox, it's imperative to stick to shopping the outside aisles of the grocery store. "If you eat clean even for five days it will help you debloat and you will start to see results," encouraged Karena.
Focus on the fitness moves that target visible bikini areas (extra emphasis on the booty, back and legs). "Just a couple of our workouts will make you feel stronger, more confident, tighter and toned," shared Karena.
If you do the following moves everyday for the next five days, you're halfway there. But be warned: "It's definitely a combination of fitness and nutrition—we always say that your abs are made with your Tone It Up workouts, but revealed with proper nutrition," stressed Katrina.

Step 3: As you move to standing, bend at the elbows and lower the weight back until arms reach a 90-degree angle.

Step 5: Complete 15 reps then switch sides.
