Ah, spring break. A reprieve from school, responsibilities, and the daily grind of life. If you're lucky enough, your spring break plans might include a trip to the beach. Nothing is better than feeling the sun on your face, wind in your hair, and toes in the sand. But let's be honest; when it comes to obtaining that killer beach bod, the struggle is real.

Getting in shape for spring break involves motivation, optimism, and a whole lot of willpower. The pressure is even greater on those who live close to the beach year-round, and even more so on those who live, let's say, in the ocean itself. Nobody can describe the struggle of achieving a beach body like Spongebob Squarepants can; he does lives in Bikini Bottom, after all.

What you want to look like:

What you actually look like:

When you join a cardio dance class to burn those pesky calories:

When its glute day at the gym and you're working hard to get that booty lookin' fine:

When you go to pay for all the healthy organic groceries that you need for your new diet:

When you try yoga poses from Pinterest but you have no idea what you're doing:

When you go to the gym to lift weights but can't lift more than 20 pounds:

When you show your friends the progress you've (barely) made:

When you start missing french fries and wondering if it's all worth it:

When you give up trying to get a beach bod because you know you're hot no matter what:

So there you have it, folks. Obtaining a beach body can be extremely difficult, but fun if you're up to the challenge. That being said, there really is no such thing as a "beach body." God made all of us exactly the way we were intended to be, and that means that ALL of us have beach bodies!
