Whether she is wearing a strapless, halter, or an off-the-shoulder ensemble, every bride wants to look extra fabulous when she walks proudly down the aisle. Unfortunately, the life of planning a wedding often does not permit her to make fitness a top priority. Between work, fittings, and meetings with vendors, when does a bride-to-be have time to go to the gym? The hassle-free solution to this problem is to weight train at home, making fitness convenient and accessible. Yes, I said weight train. Do not be afraid to lift weights; doing so will not bulk you up, in spite of the well-touted myth. Think of weight training as burning more calories during regular daily activities. Besides, the upper body workout that your Louisville Wedding Planner personal trainer has fashioned is not designed to add size. Instead, you’ll find that with along with a few other factors, you can get the toned arms you want in order to look fabulous in your strapless.

Ready ... Set … Goals!

The most important thing to do is set a goal. Of course your ultimate goal is to be toned by your wedding day, but focus on short-term goals which are easier to achieve. For instance, by the time you send out invitations, set a goal to be up to twelve repetitions on each exercise. By the day of your last fitting, plan to be at fifteen repetitions at your goal weight. Allow six weeks to see results for each goal that you set. Setting goals and meeting them keeps you motivated, and motivation is a key ingredient to toning up.
