Worried about holiday over-eating and getting into a wedding dress? With this 6-month Wedding Fitness Plan from The Knot, you can treat yourself and stay fit. Remember to consult your physician before beginning a diet or exercise plan.
Wedding Fitness Checklist
Cardiovascular workouts, like walking or jogging, can be done anywhere outside. Just make sure you have the following:
- Comfortable clothes
- Running shoes
- Two 3- or 5-pound hand weights
- A straight-back chair
- A mat or blanket (optional)
Month 1
This month, you should mainly be focused on just getting active and engaged in the program. A good way to get motivated is to start a workout diary. Write down the date, all the reasons why you need to work out, and what your goals are. Write down your weight (always weigh yourself in the morning for consistency), and use a measuring tape to record the size of your chest, waist, hips, thighs, and forearms, so you can monitor your progress. To stay motivated, keep notes all the way through.
Tip: Weigh in and take measurements once a month only. Focusing on quick results will only discourage you.
