Get Your Best Beach Body Ever in 21 Days

3 Weeks to a Bikini-Worthy Body

Don't worry -- there's still time to get a beach-ready body. We have just the plan: a high-energy cardio and sculpting routine that's guaranteed to boost your metabolism, melt fat, and blast calories. Best of all, you can do it in as few as 30 minutes a day. "By performing total-body strength moves along with high-intensity interval workouts, you'll be able to reshape your body in a relatively short period of time," says trainer Joe Dowdell, owner of Peak Performance Strength and Conditioning Center in New York City.

Do the strength moves in the order given, alternating muscle groups so you won't need to rest for more than 60 seconds between each exercise. Do 10 to 12 reps and two or three sets of each move. Add in the cardio interval workouts on alternate days and follow a healthy diet, and you'll be ready to show off your skimpiest bikini in just three weeks!

Maximize your results by following our detailed three-week cardio/sculpting plan. On the weekends, take one rest day or do a moderate-paced exercise of your choice (we've given a few examples) to up your weekly calorie burn.
