Plateauing means that despite dragging your body to the gym every day, it’s gone into slacker mode. Your weight won’t budge, your muscles go on hiatus. Bikini season is only three months away. This is no time for your workout to conk out.

Enter The Hollywood Trainer, Jeanette Jenkins, with jumper cables. “People get into an exercise rut,” says Jenkins, whose students have included Queen Latifah and Christina Applegate. “You can go to the gym for 30 minutes and burn 300 calories. Or go and burn 600. You can literally double the amount.”

Here, she shows six ways to do that——techniques she perfected for her new super fat-blaster DVD, “Bikini Boot Camp.” “In my other DVDs, even I dilly dallied—I put down the weights, took a little breather. But on this one, there’s not a moment to think about resting. It’s boom, boom, boom, next, next, next. We maximized the calorie burn for the time spent. And you can definitely do that with your own workout.”

1. Combine upper and lower body: For example, instead of standing there doing biceps curls with dumbbells, add simultaneous stationary lunges.

2. Shuffle with your walk: During a 30-minute power walk, include 5 intervals of side shuffles lasting 60 seconds to 2 minutes each.

3. Insert cardio blasts: Instead of resting or texting between sets on the weight machines, do 25 to 30 jumping jacks, alternating knee lifts, or front kicks.

4. Wear a weighted vest: This will double your burn while walking, hiking, running, or taking a cardio class.

5. Do drop sets: For weight training, start off each set with the heaviest amount you can lift for 10 to 15 reps; then drop the weight 50 percent and continue to 25 reps.

6. Bump up your weights. While taking a sculpting class, push yourself to use 2 to 3 pounds more than you normally would. “It will make an incredible difference,” says Jeanette.

Here are a few great tips and a plan to get you ready in 2010.

1. Step 1

   Establish goals to help keep you motivated and on your desired track. Start early to make the most of the time you have before bikini season begins. For example, decide how much weight you want to lose in a specific time period. Chart your progress to help create and modify future plans. While it’s impossible to lose 100 pounds in three days, you can make great strides toward bikini-season body you desire over time. Keep your ideal swimsuit in mind as you work your way into a healthier you.

2. Step 2

   Find your motivation point. Whether it’s the gorgeous bikini you passed in the mall last week or the desire to shock your friends, you must know how to keep yourself on the right track. Ask yourself what you want to gain from getting fit for bikini season in 2010. Keep this in mind when times get rough as a reminder of why you should keep moving.

3. Step 3

   Since there’s often strength in numbers, getting with a group of like-minded individuals can be a confidence and will-power booster. Let close friends and co-workers know of your efforts to form helpful alliances. For example, you could eat a healthy lunch with your co-worker instead of heading alone to the buffet. There will be a greater sense of accountability if others are aware of your intentions.

4. Step 4

   Get your body in bikini shape by attending aerobics and conditioning classes. Visit the gym a few times a week to help build and maintain a toned frame. Ask for help from trainers to ensure you’re performing he correct exercises in order to meet your goals. Focus on any problem areas, such as your abdomen or thighs.

5. Step 5

   Modify your diet. Cut back on any unhealthy aspects of your diet. Assess your current eating habits to establish your nutritional intake compared to your actual needs. Reduce caloric intake in problem areas such as fats and sugars. Never starve yourself for the sake of fitting into a bikini. Consult with a doctor or dietitian to determine your specific nutritional needs to ensure your safety.

6. Have fun! (last but not least)
