How the stars get bikini ready!

1019cover.jpgJust four weeks until beach season, but no need to be in a bikini panic! Take a cue from the stars! Kendra Wilkinson says no to extreme dieting, but tells Life & Style that doesn't mean she isn't working hard to banish her baby belly. "I'm phasing [junk food] out, little by little," she says. She's also shedding weight by "hiking, biking, just going outside and having fun." The Hills star Kristin Cavallari also shares her summer slimming secrets. "I don't eat processed food, for the most part," Kristin tells Life & Style. "I try to eat all natural. I work out three to four times a week at the gym and do lots of sit-ups. My stomach is my trouble area." And Kim Kardashian, who recently dropped 5 pounds in just five days says she the extra weight she lost gave her the confidence she needed for bikini season. "I used to be shy and insecure walking around in a bikini," the size 2 star told Life & Style. "But now I just love feeling confident."

Hoping to boost your self-esteem in that two-piece? Fitness expert Jackie Warner, who whipped clients into shape on her Bravo show Work Out, shares her fast-acting plan geared to producing super-speedy results with Life & Style. "It's not how long, it's how strong!" she says about her workout approach. Warner combines 20 minutes of high-intensity interval training with fat-burning resistance exercises that target those soon-to-be-bared trouble spots. Pair it with her "eat more, lose more" diet and you could drop 12 pounds in the next 28 days. Now that makes for a bikini season you could actually look forward to.
