Lacey Stone is a bad ass. This celebrity trainer and Flywheel LA Instructor (West Hollywood and Larchmont) has rocked my world. After taking her spin class – I done saw the light!! Yup, totally hit nirvana, losing myself to her energy and beats (amazing music). Here, she shares a few tips with us on how to get spring break ready.
Spring Break Ready – what does that even mean?!! This doesn’t have to mean starving and all the bullshit to look a certain way in a bikini. It means getting strong and confident to strut your bad ass self without stressing over if something fits, doesn’t fit, looks ok, etc. In other words – Spring Break ready is a metaphor for cleaning up your shit (inside and outside) so you can explode into Spring like the beauty that you are. I think of toning up as a way to feel strong and confident not just physically – in fact – even more so mentally. When I’m lean and strong you bet your ass I’m taking names in all areas of my life. So, is the route there shaping your bod and eating clean? You betcha!
Lacey has some fricken fun ways to get there. Let’s hear what she has to say!
How long in advance should someone start working out before spring break to tone just enough to feel comfortable if they’re going somewhere tropical?
I would say you should give yourself 2-3weeks before spring break for best results.
How often should they cycle to get bikini body ready?
I think cycling at fly is the BEST. I would try to come in 5 days/week
What do you recommend eating before and after a Flywheel class to get spring break ready?
Pre-class, I’d recommend something lighter and carb focused. I love having two moms granola bars:http://www.twomomsintheraw.com/collections/granola
Post sweat fest, I would recommend a protein shake – Protein is good for muscle repair, is satisfying and healthy:http://kblog.lunchboxbunch.com/2011/04/10-vegan-shake-recipes.html
