Bridal Body Makeover

If you are engaged there is no doubt that you have given serious consideration to your bridal fitness.  So, if you are ready to get your body into the best shape of your life for the most important day of your life there are 3 huge mistakes that you need to avoid!

1. Trying To Sprint Down The Aisle

While I applaud your dedication to bridal fitness you need to keep your enthusiasm in check for the first few workouts.  I have seen too many brides get way too excited about changing their bodies that they start working out way too hard way too fast.

This is a recipe for disaster because more often than not you will feel way too sore and loose all motivation to stick to your workout program.

Instead of starting off with super high intensity bridal fitness workouts, you need to ease your way into things for the first week.  This will ensure that you stick with your workout program right up until your wedding week and achieve the most amazing results possible!

2. Setting An Unreachable Goal

Yes, goal setting is important.  In fact, it’s vital!  You will never achieve the bridal fitness results that you desire if you don’t set your goals.

But, your goals must be attainable!

If your goal is to “loose a lot of weight” or “get really skinny” you’ll never reach your goal.

Why?  Because what is “a lot of weight” or “really skinny”?

You need to have measurable goals that you can track to see how you are progressing.

Instead of “a lot of weight” say “X number of pounds”.

Instead of “really skinny” say “I want to wear a size __.”

These are measurable numbers that will tell you how you are progressing toward your bridal fitness goals.

3. Starving Away The Pounds

Sure, you need to watch what you eat, but too many brides fall into the trap of hardy eating at all in the belief that not eating will lead to weight loss.  The problem with this thought process is that it fails every single time.

Your body is a very smart creature.  If you stop feeding it you will actually gain weight!

Since your body doesn’t know when it’s next meal will be, it goes into “starvation mode” and slows down your metabolism so that you are not burning as many calories as you should be.  This is your bodies natural defense to maintain life.

So, instead of going on a very low calorie diet, you need to reduce your calories as much as possible without entering the starvation mode.

The second problem with a very low calorie diet is that you will end up eating something that you really shouldn’t… just because it’s there.

Have you ever been driving your car when you are extremely low on gas?  You end up having to pull into the first available gas station and pay top dollar for a few gallons of gas simply because you are in such desperate need and it’s the only place around.

The same thing happens with your body.  When your body is desperate for food if lowers your mental ability to make proper nutrition decisions and you will end up grabbing a handful of cookies or that big piece of chocolate cake… just because they are there!

So there you have it, the 3 Biggest Mistakes In Bridal Fitness along with the solutions to the problems.  Now you can set a solid foundation by staring your bridal fitness program properly, setting the right goals, and making sure that your nutrition is on track to get you into the best shape of your life for the most important day of your life!
