Your wedding day! It's all about you, so why not look your
best? Show off your lean shoulders, your toned arms and
your overall fit body!
How, you ask? If you want to look your absolute best on
that precious day - start with your wedding fitness plan
right now.
To get the most from your fitness plan you'll need to
combine 5 elements:
1. Supportive Nutrition
2. Resistance Training
3. Cardio Training
4. Mental Training
5. Social Support
1. Supportive Nutrition
Eating the right foods to support your weight loss and
toning efforts. You don't have to make a science out of it.
Just eat 5 or 6 quality meals with lean proteins, fruits,
vegetables and healthy grains here and there and you'll
quickly look your best for your Wedding.
2. Resistance Training
Any form of exercise that adds an external load on your
muscles. That load can be your body in the form of squats,
push-ups, sit-ups, or it can be dumbbells. 2-3 times a week
for 30 minutes is plenty to tighten and tone your muscles
so you can slip in your dress and look great.
3. Cardio Training
Any moderate activity that raises your heart rate for 20-30
minutes. Swimming, jogging, sports, hiking, or any other
activity you enjoy. This will help condition your heart and
burn extra calories helping to trim off body fat for you
wedding.
4. Mental Training
A significant portion of wedding fitness is purely
"mental". Keeping yourself motivated to stay on track and
continue to make progress no matter how discouraged you may
get. Staying on track and making continual progress toward
your goal, knowing that as long as you keep making progress
you will reach your goal and look fabulous on your wedding
day.
5. Social Support
Whether it's from friends, family, a coach, church or your
neighborhood women's group, research shows that programs
which include social support always have better outcomes
than those without.
Why is social support so effective - one word,
accountability. In one study participants in a fitness
program were 22 times more likely to stick with it when
held accountable through weekly contact.
When negative stress and pressure drag you down, you can
reach out to your support group members for encouragement.
If you're not getting social support for your Wedding
fitness endeavors from your family, you can enlist the
support from outside influences such as friends, like
minded groups or a coach. One of my good friends a Newport
Beach Personal Trainer has had great success with fitness
models and more using these techniques.
The best piece of advice is - start now on your Wedding
fitness plan, and keep going. It may take you 10, 20 or
even 30 weeks, depending on where you're at right now.
Aim for 1-2 pounds of "fat loss" per week. Now mind you
this isn't "weight loss". Anyone can lose several pounds a
week of "weight" (mainly water and muscle tissue). That's
not what you're after. That will just cause you to look
like a skinnier fat version of yourself.
Losing fat will help reveal your shapely figure so you can
look lean, toned and sexy in your wedding dress.
So if you want to lose 20 pounds, then aim for at least
10-12 weeks to allow for some breathing space in your plan.
Remember, this is a once in a lifetime event - your
Wedding. Just ask yourself, "how do you want to look on
your wedding day". Answer that question and then take the
necessary action.
If you need help with your wedding fitness or nutrition
plan, hiring a Fitness Coach or Personal Trainer can be
just what you need to kick start your program and guarantee
your fitness success.
And most of all start today and expect success! And when
your wedding day comes you'll jump with joy about how your
body looks in your wedding dress.
