it is very easy 
use b2-a2=c2-b2

If a2, b2, c2 are in A.P., so are a2+ab+bc+ca,  b2+ab+bc+ca, and  c2+ab+bc+ca
 
i.e. (a+b)(c+a), (b+c)(a+b), (c+a)(b+c) are in A.P.
 
Multiplying the three terms by (a+b+c)/ (a+b)(b+c)(c+a), we have
 
(a+b+c)/(b+c), (a+b+c)/c+a, (a+b+c)/a+b are in A.P. Now subtracting 1 from each term, we have
 
1/b+c, 1/c+a, 1/a+b are in A.P.
