Hey bride-to-be!
First off, congratulations on saying “YES!” to your soulmate and your dream dress. Now let’s talk about getting your body feeling just as dreamy. Whether you want to rock that strapless gown, slay those pre-wedding photos, or just feel unstoppable walking down the aisle, I’ve got the perfect pre-wedding workouts for you.
And don’t worry—I’m not here to tell you to spend hours in the gym. You’ve got venues to tour, cake tastings to dominate (yum), and seating charts to fix for the hundredth time. Let’s keep this effective, fun, and focused on YOU.
Why? Strength circuits are efficient, build lean muscle, and burn fat. Plus, they give you that toned, sculpted look without the fear of looking bulky (spoiler: you won’t).
What to Do:
How Often? 2-3 times a week, 30-45 minutes each session. You’ll be amazed at what just a few solid circuits can do.
Why? Sprint Interval Training (SIT) is like a HIIT workout but with more power-packed intensity in less time. It burns fat, preserves muscle, and gets your heart pumping like you just spotted your fiancé at the altar.
What to Do:
How Often? Twice a week. It’s quick, effective, and perfect for brides on a tight schedule.
Why? Whether your dress hugs your curves or flares like a princess gown, strong glutes and legs make you look incredible from every angle.
What to Do:
Pro Tip: Add resistance bands for extra burn. Your quads and hamstrings will thank you later.
Why? Wedding planning can be stressful. Yoga and Pilates not only tone your muscles but also keep you calm and centered (and who doesn’t need that?).
What to Do:
How Often? At least once a week, or whenever you need a zen moment between vendor calls.
Why? Your shoulders, back, and arms will be on full display in many wedding dresses. Let’s make them pop!
What to Do:
Pro Tip: Focus on higher reps with moderate weight to achieve that lean, sculpted look.
Why? Walking is low impact, burns calories, and reduces stress. Plus, it’s an easy way to sneak in extra movement without overthinking it.
How to Do It:
Set a daily step goal (8,000–10,000 is great!) and walk while you’re on the phone with vendors, brainstorming centerpiece ideas, or clearing your head.
A toned body isn’t built just in the gym—it’s also built during rest. Prioritize sleep, hydrate like it’s your full-time job, and don’t skip those rest days. Recovery is where the magic happens, so let yourself relax.
Every rep, step, and sprint is bringing you closer to feeling your absolute best on your big day. And hey, if you’re looking for a bridal fitness program that takes the guesswork out of planning, The Wedding Ready Method is here for you. We’ll handle the structure so you can focus on crushing your goals.
Now, go slay those workouts, future Mrs. You've got this!
