10 Weeks To The Beach Challenge! Learn How To Lose 10-20 Pounds Before The First Day Of Summer!

Let's start with the good news: There is still time to get your Beach Body ready for the first day of Summer! With 10 weeks left before June 20th, 2025 there is still time to shed any of the excess weight gain over a long holiday/winter season as well as that last few pounds that might be lingering post New Year's Resolution.

But here's the ... not 'bad', but IMPORTANT news: You. Must. Start. Now.

I've been a Personal Trainer for 10+ years, and I can assure you, results take time. There is no overnight solution to weight loss or body recomposition.

However, 10 weeks is enough time to make a massive change.

By following the 3 key steps outlined below, you have the ability to lose between 10 and 20 pounds between now and the first day of summer.

Ready to get started? Let's dive into my 10 Weeks To The Beach Challenge!

STEP 1. STRENGTH TRAINING 2-3 TIMES PER WEEK

It's time to hit the gym. And no ... bouncing around a few machines for 15 minutes without a plan or a program does not cut it.

For the next 10 weeks, you need to be in the gym 2 to 3 times every single week WITH A PLAN. That plan can be Pull, Push, Legs or Upper, Lower, Upper or Full Body x3 ... but there need's to be a plan.

Once you've got your plan, you need to train EFFECTIVELY with the proper intensity. You need to lift with proper form and appropriate resistant that is safe yet challenging in order to build muscle and create a massive caloric deficit.

That's the name of the game for body recomposition: Progressive Overload and A Caloric Deficit.

If you need a program designed personally FOR YOU as well as an expert to guide your workouts and make sure you are using proper form ...

STEP 2. CREATING A NUTRITION PLAN AND TRACKING YOUR PROGRESS

Say it with me because you know what's coming ...

YOU. CAN NOT. OUTWORK. A. POOR. DIET!

No matter how hard your work in the gym, your nutrition plan will dictate and decide your success.

If you want to lose body fat and recompose your body, having a nutrition plan that puts you in a 500-1000 calorie deficit while providing the proper macronutrients is a must.

My suggestion? MEAL. PREP.

Prepping your meals every single week is an excellent way to control portions, eliminate overeating, and stay within your caloric limit every single day.

But, there's one more step. You must TRACK three crucial data points:

Your starting weight, your daily caloric intake, and your weekly check-in weight. This plan is all about data collection. Calories in versus calories out. We have to know where we are starting if we want to know where we're trying to go.

If you need a Nutrition Plan that gives your exactly how many calories to eat every day AND teaches you how to meal prep for success while losing 1-2 pounds a week ...

STEP 3. INCREASE YOUR DAILY ACTIVITY

When it comes to weight loss, the name of the game is ... CALORIE DEFICIT.

You cannot lose weight unless you burn more calories than you consume. It's simple math.

And while having a nutrition plan can help you achieve that caloric deficit, extra daily activity will be the special sauce that pushes you across the finish line!

While strength training 2-3 times per week will help you burn calories and dig a deep caloric deficit, increased activity on those rest days will help catapult your weekly weight loss by that extra 1/2 to 1 pound per week.

My favorite form of cardio is ... you guessed it ... walking! I love taking my dogs for walks and racking up a huge step count, typically 10-12,000 steps per day.

However, if you don't have time for a long walk, jumping on an elliptical or exercise bike is a great alternative ... as long as you are training at a consistently effective rate.

I also recommend avoiding running. While it is of course effective cardio, the act of running can severely damage your joints or make you so sore that you can't workout (either strength or cardio) the next day.

You want to avoid anything that leads to excess soreness and leaves your recovering on the couch for days. Stick to safe, effective cardio that you can do every single day.

If you follow these 3 steps for the next 10 weeks, you can achieve 10-20 pounds of weight loss before the first day of summer.
