Ditch the Heavier-is-Better Mindset

Want a guaranteed beach-ready body? Do more total-body work with your muscles. "Our armed forces look awesome because they're doing 150 pushups a day," Sam Iannetta, C.P.T., owner of Functional Fitness and Wellness Centers in Boulder, Colorado says. "Volume ultimately gives you better size and shape than going heavy."

Yes, boys and girls, lots of reps with the pink dumbbells will get you looking better than the dumbbells on the other side of the rack. Lots of reps. Lots of them. Preferably while standing on the BOSU ball. Gotta activate that core.

And don't worry about your diet either. Ever see a skinny powerlifter? Right, you don't, because they're all going heavy.
