Do you have a big event coming up next month Do you want to look great and feel confident baring your body on the beach when summer finally shows its face? Good news – it is perfectly possible to tone up and really improve your body in as little as four weeks. However, it will take hard work and dedication if you really want to see results.
If you’re up for the challenge of getting fit in four weeks, here’s what you need to do:
Build Muscle
If you want to look more toned in a matter of weeks, the best thing you can do is concentrate on building muscle. There are numerous ways you can do this from scheduling bodyweight exercises like lunges and squats to hitting the weights area of the gym, but you must do something that engages your muscles and keeps you active.
Get Your Heart Rate Up

If you have weight to lose, then you will need to tackle that as well as working to build up muscles, because no matter how much work you do with weights, the results won’t be visible if your body fat levels are too high.
The best form of exercise to get rid of fat, especially belly fat, quickly is cardio. Anything that gets your heart rate up for a sustained period will melt the fat you carry quite quickly. So, strap on your sneakers and go for a run, join a spinning class or get your dance on to get rid of those last few pounds of stubborn fat.

Change Your Diet

The food you eat will do more than anything else to determine how you look in four weeks, which means you’re going to have to give up the fried foods, chips and candies if you’re serious about being toned on the beach. What you should be eating instead is 30 percent lean proteins 40 percent carbs and 3 percent healthy fats. If you’re weight training a lot, you might want to increase your protein intake a bit, but on average, this is a good way to eat for weight loss. Obviously, the bulk of your carb intake should come from healthy whole grains, fruits and vegetables. You should avoid eating anything processed for the next four weeks, at least.
Start with Soup
Whatever you’re eating, be sure to add a starter of soup. Adding a starter to the beginning of each meal many seem counterintuitive when you’re trying to lose weight, but there is evidence to suggest that starting your meals with a small portion of low-calories soup will help you to feel fuller more quickly, thanks to the combination of liquid and solid, which means that you won’t eat quite so much overall.
