Celebrity trainer, Brett Hoebel, best known for transforming the bodies of Victoria’s Secret models Doutzen Kroes and Karolina Kurkova, along with celebs like America Ferrara, Emmy Rossum, Veronica Webb and others, has some great tips to keep you tight and trim this season.

Brett knows that diet and fitness are both important to look great! Check out these tips to stay looking great this summer season.

* If you don’t want to cut out the alcohol completely, try switching to less caloric drink options: light beer, drinks on the rocks, and club soda instead of tonic or sugary mixers

* Try to stay away from, what Brett calls the “White Devils” during your summer parties: sugar, flour, rice, milk, and salt. Instead use agave, a natural sweetner, whole grain rolls, brown rice salads, and Celtic sea salt as a seasoning.

* For long, hot days eat fresh whole fruit for energy instead of drinking fruit juice. Even make smoothies using Almond Milk and fresh fruit!

When all you want to do is hit the beach, it’s still important to get your workouts in. Brett has developed shorter workouts that combine strength training with anaerobic-interval training.

Follow the Tri-Set below and you’ll be ready for a day in the sun!
1. Compound Lower Body
§ Start holding a dumbbell or just hands placed together (like a clap) up near right shoulder

§ Lunge with left foot forward while “chopping” dumbbell (or hands) down and across body to outside of left hip

§ Arms should remain straight during downward chop and upward return of arms to starting position

§ Without any rest period, move on to next exercise

2. Compound Upper Body
§ Single Leg Push Ups, 10-12 reps per side with moderate to challenging weight

§ Without any rest period, move on to next exercise

3. Anaerobic Interval Cardio
§ Run in place with high knees, 30-60 seconds

§ Say the alphabet: if you don’t have to pause for a breath every five letters, you didn’t work hard enough

§ REST for 60-120 second

4. Repeat routine 3-4 times total
