Emergency Plan for a Bikini Butt

Question.
Victoria, I am going on a summer vacation with my husband in two weeks and I need help getting my a** in a swimsuit without wearing one of those old lady ones like my grandmother has. You know the one with the built in skirt. Help Victoria! What can I do?
- J. McMurphy


Hello Ms J.
You sure know how to challenge me don’t you? First... whatever you do, make sure your husband does NOT see you in a “skirt swimsuit”. There is only so much Viagra can do girlfriend!

Second... I have some great tips for your "exit muscles" (the last ones people see when you leave the room) to look presentable. If you are really strict, you may look so good, your husband won’t want you to exit the room at all on this year's vacation!

A few years ago, I needed to get ready for a swimsuit photo shoot at the exclusive Beverly Hills Celebrity hotel LeMontrose. I was not happy with my "rear view" so I put together this emergency bikini butt regime. It worked beautifully. After working my plan, my legs were more defined, my butt was tighter and, shall I say, high and lifted up. I felt great at the photo shoot. My results were validated when the rapper (name withheld) who was not in need of a tan, kept coming out by the pool and accidentally dropping his D&G sunglasses every other minute. I think I must have looked great to him. He was sneaking a look at my "assets" as he was pretending to recover his D&G’s.

Okay Ms. J. get out your highlighter, print this page and highlight the tips you will follow diligently, even while you are on vacation. That’s right. The last thing you want to do is look great the first day, then go on a “I’m on vacation” binge fest and bloat up like those cute little gold fish snacks.

1. Get Mentally and Spiritually ready. Center yourself. Prayers, affirmations and meditation are great ways to relax and make the preparation for your vacation and a fun and exciting challenge.

2. Start drinking at least 10 cups of water a day right away. The last 3 - 4 days I will add in a cup of herbal diuretic tea a day. The days when I'm drinking the tea I cut my water in half.

3. Do sixty minutes of cardio each day at a low-moderate intensity. You will want to do this for at least two weeks before your vacation, or as much time as you have before you leave. You can break this up into two sessions if you need to, but one long session is optimal. My Swimsuit Shape Up Collection is a great way to get that cardio in each day. Don't balk, we're getting ready for vacation here!

4. Sculpt and Tone every other day, do a full body workout with light-weights, with special emphasis on plies’, lunges, floorwork - leg lifts and donkey kicks. 3 sets of 25 reps per side of each exercise. Do your abdominals every other day as well. Figure out your three favorite abdominal exercises and review last week’ s abdominal hollowing tips and apply them.

5. Do not eat after 7:00 PM. That means NOTHING at 7:00PM. Water or tea but no calories. This is a big key!

6. Eat clean staying away from salt, sugar, desserts, ice cream and dairy. My Quick Start Fat Loss Program is perfect way to diet for optimal health and conditioning. If you don't have it already, pick one up today!

7. Increase Low Glycemic Index foods which help with weight release such as cabbage, onions, broccoli, cooked tomatoes, beans, wheat and certain fruit.

8. AVOID ALL HIGH Glycemic Foods. I have an extensive list in my Quick Start Fat Loss Program. Do NOT eat these foods. They could turn to fat faster than butter.

9. Eat 4-5 meals a day slightly smaller than my normal servings. Go easy on the condiments. For the last three days during the diuretic phase, omit any high salt food, condiments and drink distilled water.

10. Finally use a series of Herbal Baths to smooth and tighten the skin around your legs, hips and buns. Take 2 - 3 baths a week for 30 minutes each. You'll need the downtime with all that cardio and sculpting! In addition to working on any remaining cellulite areas, the baths will help detoxify your skin and improve your overall complexion.

Okay girlfriend, you have some great tips for getting you’re a** ready for your revealing beach unveiling. You can do it. If you start today, you can possibly lose up to an inch or even more in your hips and thighs for that awesome vacation. Have a great time, and send me some photos!

God Bless and make it the Best Week Ever!,

Get Gorgeous Now:
The Easy Way To Get Rid Of Wrinkles

Wind, heat and chemicals and the natural effects of aging all cause a certain amount of wrinkling in everyone... but it is much worse in people who spend a lot of time outdoors.

Years of exposure to the sun can cause "photo aging" which includes freckles, yellowing, roughness, visible blood vessels and dark spots- as well as wrinkling!

Typically, as a person gets older, the sweat and oil glands become smaller in size and can become less numerous.

This causes the skin to lose moisture and to dry out, and it soon begins to sag in places where the collagen has weakened the most.

The skin around your eyelids, jaws, and neck are all especially thin and therefore, almost everyone is prone to naturally aging.

Much wrinkling is "pre-determined" genetically from one's parents.

Although some may have a genetic predisposition to severe wrinkling, it is known that overexposure to the sun promotes and only makes wrinkles worse.

Physicians will recommend daily moisturizing creams including those with hydroxy acids in them and those products with sunscreen already contained in the cream.

SPF 15 is the minimum amount of sunscreen required and it's usually recommended to get a higher SPF.

Physicians will also advise you to be realistic in your anti-aging methods.

It is not possible to repair deeply furrowed skin or the tiny blood vessels that appear with photo aging, but wrinkles, dark spots, and rough, coarse skin can be improved with topical tretinoin.

This medication, which is only prescribed by your doctor, must be rubbed on daily for several months before any improvement is noticeable.

The only downside to this product is that it hasn't been tested for a long enough period to know what the side effects are.

Another option that your doctor may explore with you is a chemical peel.

This causes the skin to peel as it would after a sunburn. Although this method improves fine wrinkles, it can cause scarring if it is not carefully limited to the surface layers of the skin.

To prevent the wrinkles from having a chance to form, don't use a sun lamp, cover up while outside and apply sunscreen whenever you are outdoors.

When exposure to the sun can not be avoided, you should try to wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and possibly tightly-woven clothing.

You may not realize this, but the sun can cause damage even on a cloudy, winter day.

In addition to covering up, you should apply sunscreen before going outdoors- thirty minutes before, to be exact.

Always remember that water, sand, snow and concrete reflect the sun's rays and increase the likelihood of a sunburn.

One of the easiest things you can do is keep the skin from drying out.

Use a moisturizer on a regular basis, especially after washing. A good lotion or cream applied to the dampened skin will help keep it from drying.

The cream will trap and hold moisture on the skin's surface assisting your body from drying out or showing wrinkles and imperfections.

Although there are no miracle drugs that will free us from wrinkles indefinitely, we can take precautions like these before the wrinkles start and perform preventive maintenance to stop the wrinkles from worsening.

Put your best face forward- you don't have to hide behind crow's feet and lip lines...

My name is K.T. and I have struggled with my weight most of my life, and a few weeks ago I purchased your "Cardio Soul" DVD, and have been working out 4 days a week after work and school, and I added some strength training on my own. I must explain, I am really, seriously lazy, so getting into a routine like that was unfathomable for me before I bought your video. I just wanted to thank you, every other video related to exercise I ever purchased was wasted, you really motivated me. My money was well spent. Not many people take the time to do the work and then give credit where credit is due. So, thanks.

K.T.
