I was so excited the other day when I got a call from Tucson Bridal Magazine about my Quick Workouts for Busy Brides ebook, the wedding workout plan that I designed 6 years ago and that still sells like crazy about this time of year.

The interviewer asked me how I thought a wedding workout ebook was more effective than bridal bootcamp or hiring a trainer. She also asked for fatloss tips for busy brides. Here's the quick wedding workout tips I shared with her that you can use to look fabulous on your special day.

Wedding Workout Tip: Be Your Own Trainer & Save Money & Time
Most brides are too busy, too stressed, and too budget conscious to spend loads of time and money on bridal bootcamp or expensive personal trainers. A bridal bootcamp runs anywhere from $150 - $300 a month and means getting up at 5am or going after work at least 3 times a week often for 45-60 minutes. If you're hiring a trainer you can expect to pay three times that per month and trainers still want you to do cardio on off days. This is a colossal waste of your time and your money especially if you're self motivated to train yourself. The tips below will show you the basics of how to get started with a do it yourself workout plan.

Wedding Workout Tip: Find a Plan You Can Stick to for 4-6 Weeks
You can get the same results working out on your own at home the key is to get a 4-6 week plan you can follow that includes high intensity circuit workouts. My client Ashley who is getting married next month and is currently living in San Francisco has been training herself since Dec. and looks fabulous. She stole a $60 session from her mom who trains with me twice a week so she could learn how to do the circuits and then I emailed her the ebook. It's that easy. The key is to stick to a schedule.

Wedding Workout Tip: Keep It Short & Do It Daily
Burning fat shouldn't be more work it should be an escape. Weddings are stressful, time consuming and expensive. They just take over your life so many brides are looking for a way to de-stress and feel calm. Being active daily is a great way to do that and it increases your ability to handle all the wedding planning. Your wedding workouts can be as short as 10 minutes of fat blasting interval cardio or 30 minutes of high intensity circuits that tone and tighten everything. The key is to just do something that releases tension and boosts metabolism each day.

Wedding Workout Tip: Give Yourself At Least 4 Weeks
It can be easy to put off getting fit until the last minute but this will only add stress and get you into crash diet mode. It's better to give yourself 4-6 weeks to get ready. You can tighten tone and lose fat in two weeks but why put that kind of pressure on yourself. My sister was able to lose 8 pounds 2 weeks before her best friend's wedding but she said she wished she had done it more gradually. Other clients have lost 5-8 pounds in 2-3 weeks as well but then they just wanted to do nothing after that. Why set yourself up for weight regain post wedding?

Wedding Workout Tip: Control Your Portions & Nourish Your Body
It's easy to forget to eat when you're busy with phone calls and appointments but what happens when you wait all day to eat is you end up overeating all the wrong foods. Your best bet is to start your day with something simple like yogurt and nuts or apple with peanut butter, eat a small chicken and veggie wrap for lunch, then raw veggies and a cheese stick mid-afternoon and grilled fish, salad and rice for dinner. Set meal reminders on your phone or computer. You'll never go hungry, your energy levels will always be high, your metabolism will stay high and you won't store fat or crave junk.
