The Best Tips for Getting In Beach Body Shape

Summer is just around the corner – and that means more time spent at the beach! If you mastered your New Year’s Resolution of losing weight, you’re probably ready to show off all of your hard work.

But if you spent much of this cold winter huddled away inside and eating your favorite comfort foods, the thought of revealing your beach body might leave you feeling a little panicked.  Fortunately, there’s still time to get ready for that bikini.  Here are the best tips for getting in beach body shape, courtesy of Dr. Linda Kelley of Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics in Roswell, GA:

1. Start cleaning up your diet. While you don’t have to sacrifice every food you love, start incorporating more veggies into your daily meals.  Aim for four servings of veggies per day, with a lean protein at most meals. Limit your treats to one day per week, where you can have a “cheat” day.

2. Find a workout or fitness class that genuinely challenges you. Jogging on the treadmill can burn calories, but if you need to get that beach body, you need to shock your body and challenge your muscles.  Sign up for a spinning class, try Zumba with a friend, or give an at-home program like Intensity or P90X a try.

3. Drink at least 64 ounces of water per day. This will flush away water weight, which can help you look less bloated and much leaner when you’re on the beach.

Of course, there’s a way you can get the beach body you’ve always wanted faster – and you’ll find it at Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics.

Dr. Kelley offers a highly effective HCG diet, which is medically supervised and customized to your exact specifications.  HCG is a powerful hormone that helps torch fat while kick-starting your metabolism; clients who have been on the HCG diet have lost as much as a pound a day.

Once you start your weight-loss journey, Dr. Kelley can use Exilis treatments to tighten skin and contour any trouble spots.  Exilis uses powerful radiofrequency heat to destroy fat cells as well as promote collagen and elastin production.  The end result is tighter, younger-looking skin that shows off all of your hard work.

How to Get Rid of Love Handles and Fat

Spring is officially here – and that means summer is soon to follow.  But if you’re not ready for a season of tank tops, shorts, and dresses, then it might be time for a little push in the right direction.

If one of your trouble spots happens to be your love handles – the nice-sounding term for the excess fat that hangs over your hips – then it’s time to contour the fat so you look slimmer and toner in your jeans.  While diet and exercise might not always target love handles, the innovative Exilis body treatment at Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics in Roswell, GA (also serving the greater Atlanta metro area).

Owned and operated by Dr. Linda Kelley, Cobb Wellness and Aesthetics is pleased to offer Exilis treatments to spot treat love handles and excessive fat around the hips and waist.  Exilis is an effective treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to help remove fat in common trouble areas, including love handles, arms, thighs, stomach, and buttocks.

The way Exilis works is surprisingly simple; Dr. Kelley uses the handheld device to deliver radiofrequency energy to the love handles, which heats up fat cells.  As these fat cells become hotter, they eventually become destroyed (this happens without damaging the healthy tissue surrounding the fat cells).  Over time, these destroyed fat cells are removed from the body via waste removal processes.

As an added bonus, the same heating sensation promotes collagen and elastin production, which leads to tighter and firmer-looking skin.  This benefit is why Exilis is often used as an anti-aging treatment, in addition to body contouring.

Interested in undergoing an Exilis treatment?  Many clients often report seeing results after a single session, but for ideal results, you’ll need to undergo four to six treatments.  Some clients even report seeing a reduction of two to four inches from their waistlines.

One of the biggest advantages of undergoing this treatment is that there’s no recovery time; you can return to your normal activities after your treatment.
