Work your way to a rockin’ bod with these simple changes to your everyday routine.

Randol Tittle, an area Zumba instructor, says in one hour of Zumba you can lose up to 800 calories.

“It is great for the whole body. It really tones every muscle in the arms, legs and core,” Tittle said.

He suggests taking Zumba Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Incorporate weight training Tuesday and Thursday.

Spring breakers know how to party, so why not get in shape with a fun new workout routine.

Mara Thompson, an exercise instructor at Moore’s Health and Fitness, suggests interval cardio and endurance cardio. Thompson recommends at least 30 minutes of cardio a day but preferably 60.

Start slow by briskly walking for three minutes, and run as long as you can for about 10-20 minutes. Leave the last 5-10 minutes for sprints. She also suggests weight training with two body parts a day.

“Women, we tend to gain a lot under the belly button. That comes from what you eat. If you want to lose weight, take off at least 500 calories a day from what you’re eating,” Thompson said.

Drink only water. Diet sodas tend to give unnecessary bloat due to the carbonation, sodium and artificial sugars. And one thing no one wants while in a bikini is bloat.

Zumba classes are available at the Activity Center Monday through Thursday.  There is also a weight room, cardio area and an indoor track.

As college students, we tend to eat a lot of drive-thru dinners. Cut your take out days to two or three times a week.

Work your way to one fast food meal and eventually none.

Weaning yourself off of fast food keeps you in control.

It is easy to stop by the SUB or Starbucks during your break at school; but even though this is easy, most snacks you will find aren’t calorie friendly.

Luna bars are a great solution to this problem.

Pop one into your backpack and you will have something that will tide you over until lunch or dinner.

Need a caffeine boost? Starbucks offers many of their drinks in a lighter choice.

This allows you to enjoy that caramel frappuccino without all the calories and extra sugar.

Celebrity trainers like Tracy Anderson (clients include Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna) urge consistency. Setting a routine and sticking to it will pay off.

Getting started on the right foot is the key to success.

Diet is a scary word meant to threaten ourselves thin.

Lifestyle change is making your day to day life healthier and being rewarded with a slimmer figure ready to bare that bikini.
