SUMMER BODY COUNTDOWN: 14 DAYS TILL LAKE SEASON

Molly Wichman, Personal Trainer in Lee's Summit, shares health & fitness tips

Who else feels that flutter of excitement, or panic, when you realize lake and pool season is

just 14 DAYS away?

We all want to feel CONFIDENT when we peel off that cover-up or shirt! It's not just about looking good in photos – it's about feeling AMAZING when you catch a glimpse of yourself in those pool reflections & selfies!

5 MUST-DO TIPS TO DROP 5 LBS IN 14 DAYS:

1.  Increase Your Water Intake

Flush those toxins and reduce bloat by drinking 2-3 liters daily! PRO TIP: Add lemon wedges and cucumber slices to make it crave-worthy. Water fills you up before meals, reducing overall calorie intake without even trying!

2.  HIIT It Hard, But Smart

20-minute high-intensity interval training sessions burn more calories than an hour of steady cardio! Do 90 seconds all-out, 30 seconds rest for 20 minutes, 3x weekly. Your metabolism stays FIRED UP for hours afterward! Bonus if you want some shape as you lose body fat, Resistance Training. Bands, weights, bodyweight exercises give you shape and you lose body fat. A quick 20 mins can do wonders for your shape. Arms, chest, legs, booty, full body workout…all great choices!

3.   Smart Carb Reduction

Cut back on refined carbs and focus on fiber-rich options! Replace pasta, bread and sugary treats with nutrient-dense veggies, lean proteins and healthy fats.

4.  Sleep Your Way Slim

Getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep reduces cortisol (that nasty stress hormone that STORES fat). Turn your bedroom into a sleep sanctuary—no screens an hour before bed to relax your mind for optimal fat-burning sleep!

5.  Cut Sodium, See Results TOMORROW

Hidden salt creates water retention that can mask your hard work! Read labels and cut processed foods to instantly look leaner. Season with herbs and spices instead—they boost metabolism naturally! Use salt minimally. Cut the water retention and see what’s there!

Remember: This isn't about crash dieting—it's about looking AND feeling your best for those sunset boat rides and poolside gatherings where memories (and photos!) are made! Don’t cringe at photos, embrace and enjoy! Capture your fun memories with confidence
