It’s so hot out that you feel too sticky to move, let alone work out. But if you want to stay in bikini shape throughout the rest of the summer, you have to maintain your fitness routine. It’s the only way you’ll make it to September with a smile on your face, thinking, “That was an amazing summer, and I looked great the entire time.”

We spoke with Celebrity Fitness Trainer Kacy Duke, who has the tips and tricks you need to keep your motivation up. She’s worked with Hollywood hard bodies like Denzel Washington, Rachel Weisz, Mary J. Blige, and more. Her fitness philosophy focuses on “showing your body love” in order to reach your weight-loss and fitness goals. The success of her training has landed Kacy a book deal, The Show It Love Workout, and she also teaches women across the country her trademark techniques in her Underground Groove events.
