beach body

Toned swimsuit figure

A beach body is a physique considered attractive enough to display in swimwear—typically lean, toned, and fit.

The term appears in fitness marketing and diet culture, often with implied pressure to achieve a certain look before summer: I'm trying to get my beach body ready by June.

The phrase has drawn criticism for promoting unrealistic body standards.
