June is nearing and the swimsuit season is just around the corner. But do your busy work schedule and household chores leave you little time to attend to yourself and exercise to get into shape?
Don't worry. It's not too late. With a newly developed shape-up plan, you can shed some inches in just a couple of months.
Lee Ji-hee, a 32-year-old office worker from Seoul, has devised a 60-day plan to get in shape for her summer vacation. She wants to wear a bikini and hot pants.
As she has neither the time nor the money to spend in gyms and diet clinics, Lee has decided to use self-help items to shape her bodyline.
After returning home from work, she exercises on a stepper machine while watching TV, holding a pair of dumbbells to heighten the effect of exercise.
Like Lee, many women lacking time and money to spend on their bodies are increasingly relying on ``Do It Yourself'' (DIY) solutions. Responding to the demand, various items are available at the stores.
If you're not the active type, try some of the recent body-slimming lotions that are lining the store shelves.
Among others, slimming lotions are becoming popular as one of the summer must-haves amid the shaping craze.
