I have a beach vacation coming up in a couple months, & I would like to feel especially good in my bathing suit / holiday clothes. I don’t necessarily want to lose weight, but I would like to look nice & toned. I also want this process to feel easy & graceful.

I generally walk & dance for exercise & do body-weight circuits on “off” days. In preparation for this trip, I will:

  • Increase focus on my body-weight circuits & add weights where appropriate

  • Stretch regularly with more deliberate intention

  • Incorporate more regular massage

In terms of diet, the only specific thing I know I will do is drink my coffee black; I bought some gourmet coffee options so this will feel fun — expanding my palette — not boring or restrictive.

What else would you ladies recommend for ways to look a little better — without going “hard” like Rocky or doing things that feel like I am “losing out”? Favorite exercises or styling cheats? Mentalities / perspectives around eating that make you feel healthier or more beautiful?
