Every BRIDE wants to look her best on her wedding day.  So what should the BRIDE do in order to look tight, toned, and beautiful on her wedding day?  Should she diet, do cardio, Pilates?  What is the best wedding workout?  The best wedding workout is resistance training.  Resistance training or weight-training is the only type of exercise that will give the Bride a tight and toned body.  This is the only type of exercise that builds muscle in order to sculpt a lean and toned body.

There is a huge misconception that weight-training will make you “big”.  There is absolutely no way that can happen.  Muscle is dense and compact tissue that is metabolically active.  What this means is that muscle is the place where fat is burned, so the more muscle you have, the greater your ability to burn fat.  So it is to the benefit of the BRIDE, to gain muscle through weight-training so that she can speed metabolism and burn lots of fat all the time.

There are so many magazines, TV shows, books, claiming the best way to lose fat.  But really there is only one “RIGHT” way.  The Bride must complement the weigh-training with a moderate amount of cardiovascular activity, such as, running, biking, stair-climbing, Spinning, jump roping, elliptical training, etc.

What is a moderate amount of cardio?  No more than 30 minutes at a time.  Any more than this may cause a loss in muscle, and you definitely don’t want that because then you lose fat loss efficiency.

Since the BRIDE does not have ample time to workout because she is really busy, the workouts need to be short, intense, and effective.  Three weight-training workouts per week, coupled with 20 minutes of intense interval cardio activity would be a great wedding workout.  Choose exercises in which you get the most bang for your buck.  So instead of doing tricep kickbacks and bicep curls; do squats, lunges, push-ups, pull-ups.  These are exercises that work more that one muscle, the more muscles you work, the more calories you burn.  

Here is an example of a Wedding Workout:

A1.  20 Dumbbell Squats
A2.  20 Push-ups
30 seconds performing reverse crunches
Repeat this circuit one more time, for a total of 2 sets

B1.  20 Stability ball leg curl
B2.  20 Pull-ups or lat pulldowns
30 seconds performing side crunches
Repeat this circuit one more time, for a total of 2 sets

C1.  20 Plie Squats
C2.  20 Standing Shoulder Presses
30 seconds performing a plank
Repeat this circuit one more time, for a total of 2 sets

Following this program, perform 20 minutes of cardiovascular activity.  For example:
Stationary Bike
3 minute warm-up:  Level 4
30 seconds at level 12
30 seconds at level 5
Continue these 30 second intervals for 20 minutes, and end with a 3 minute cool-down at level 2-4.
