It goes without question that all brides (and grooms) want to look their best on the big day. Your photos last a lifetime and your full attention goes into every detail of your big day. If you feel like you want to get into shape for your wedding then you might be starting to feel some pressure. But fear not, however close you are to your big day, getting in shape is easier than you think.
I'm not a bride to be myself but I have had a recent change of pace when it comes to keeping fit. The first thing I did to kick start my new regime was to quit the gym. Slightly back to front I know but it worked for me. In all honesty, I never went to the gym and not going was costing me £35 a month. With the money I saved I bought a Nike+ Sportband http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikeplus/en_GB/ and it's one of the best things I have ever purchased. It is great to track your progress and keep you motivated. If you need an inspirational video to watch, check out Ellie Goulding on the Nike website. She is a great advert for running and how to look uber cool whilst doing it. I have to say I do not quite achieve that level of cool as I pound the pavement clad in fluorescent pink but it is the taking part that counts!
I run with my friend Charlotte and we have both caught the running bug. Our first race was Race for Life and next up is our Halloween fun run dressed as cats. I would highly recommend getting a running buddy or joining a club. As the evening get darker, it is important to keep safe and not run on your own. A buddy will also make sure you don't quit after the initial few weeks enthusiasm has worn off. Check out www.joggingbuddy.com for tips and help in finding a fellow runner.
My new regime however is not exercise alone. I have also joined Slimming World www.slimmingworld.com I have lost over a stone through the plan and exercise and I cannot recommend it enough. I have finally found a diet that allows you to eat as much as you like and where treats are still allowed. It has really worked for me and is a plan I will now stick to and keep those pounds at bay.
I am not saying however that you must join Slimming World and start running marathons to be the perfect blushing bride. You simply need to find a routine and exercise that suits you. Whether it's Zumba, tennis or swimming, just make sure you enjoy it. This will make it easier to stick to and keep you going. As you see results and others notice your new figure you will have the boost you need to help you achieve your goal.
Good Luck!! xxxx
