Brides spend hours considering options like invitation design, floral schemes and hairstyles (Up do? Down do? What to do?). Often, the quest for the perfect gown consumes soon-to-be-married ladies most of all. Still, what good is the world’s most beautiful dress, if you spend your wedding day hating your un-toned arms or slightly protruding belly?
Even the most modest bride wants to feel fabulous on her wedding day. Fortunately, there are several ways (in various price ranges) to get into shape for the big day.
Private Training
If you’re someone who benefits from one-on-one attention, Mike Donavanik is your man. His Bridal Boot Camp training will have you in shape in no time, using an individually customized holistic approach involving nutrition, consistent training and at-home assignments (from remembering your posture each time the phone rings to exercising 30 to 45-minutes on off days). With Mike on-hand encouraging you during targeted exercises, you’ll automatically tone up and rise to your potential.
Group Boot Camp Training
Targeted workouts happen in group forums too. At Doug Rice’s Boot Camp 90210, women (often brides) sign up for at least 10 training sessions 2 to 3 times a week for 3 to five months. The workouts are specifically designed for the female body, often moving outdoors for athletic drills, obstacle courses and sculpting exercises. So, if you like getting out of the gym, this may be the ideal tactic for you!
Classes
Signing up for a package of classes can be less expensive and less pressured. The Bar Method (a combination of pilates, yoga and ballet) offers a quicker, less expensive and more varied workout. These 45-minute classes are meant to firm muscles, reduce fat, improve posture, lift your butt, tone your abdominals and also heighten your energy level. Or try their videos for an at home option. Sounds like the perfect recipe for wedding day bliss.
