Certified Personal TrainerIt depends on your current level of fitness and what you mean when you say "good body," but you can absolutely improve your overall fitness in 3 months. You may not want to make this your primary goal, though. If you don't picture yourself as attractive and your goal is to make a total 180 in 3 months, you may get discouraged.

About This Article
While getting a hot body takes a lot of work and patience, a good place to start is by replacing junk foods with healthy foods, like lean meats, fruit, and vegetables, in order to maintain a healthy weight. Additionally, try to drink water instead of high calorie drinks like soda and alcohol. Then, incorporate some kind of exercise into your daily routine, such as a 30 minute walk after dinner or taking the stairs at work. You should also make sure to get around 8 hours of sleep each night to keep up your motivation to work out and eat healthy. For more tips from our Fitness reviewer, including how to make sure you’re drinking enough water, read on!
