Your big aisle walk is approaching. So what's the most important thing when it comes to wedding prep? Looking your best in that wedding dress!
But time's ticking and you have to shape up fast! The best way to quickly get camera-ready (remember, the photos will last a lifetime) is by spot training. And the best way to spot train is by targeting muscle areas with exercises that just so happen to require no electricity, making them eco-friendly and body-shaping.
So, how do you spot train? Fat is fat; and when you work to minimize it (with diet and exercise) it tends to equally downsize all over the body. BUT you can tone and tighten specific areas through targeting muscles during resistance training. When it comes to weddings (and honeymoons) there are definitely a few specific spots that need extra attention. Stat!
To get your body ready for wedded bliss (when it comes to your body) we turned to Rob Parr—the celebrity trainer who has helped A-listers like Naomi Watts, Demi Moore, and Madonna get fit for, oh minor things like a bikini scene in a HUGE movie (Naomi), a nude Vanity Fair cover shoot (Demi), a concert tour (Madonna).
In his outdoor-focused exercise book "Star Quality," Rob focuses on touchy areas like "that spare tire around your waist that spills into your low back, the roll below your bra strap, that extra pocket of pudge at the base of your neck." Yes, he's direct. But sometimes that's what it takes to get you in shape. Just ask the ladies listed above...
So to get you in green wedding shape, it's time to adopt a green workout. Here are a few of our favorite featured wedding dress spots in Parr's book. Even better, they use minimal equipment and electricity so the energy you're using is your own.
