Last Minute Bridal Body Quick Fixes

By Laurel House for ExerciseTV

You’ve looked forward to your wedding walk since you first felt your heart flutter for your 5 year-old-crush. Now that the day is FINALLY on its way, you find yourself fixating on the only thing that you can’t just drop a pretty penny on and make it happen--- a perfect body.

 

Though you might not have time for a total body overhaul, you can hone in those wedding dress highlighted spots that you can’t hide under layers of taffeta. Sure you can suck in your thighs with slimming shorts and tighten a girdle to instantly make your stomach seem slim, but follow the tips below to fight armpit pudge, tricep flab and combat fat from rolling over the top of your sweetheart neckline.

 

Wedding Dress Workout

Have a week before you have to put on the white dress? All you really need is a few days.Try ExerciseTV trainer, Violet Zaki's Bridal Body Quick Fix mini workout below and Bridal Body Burn workouts, plus 30 minutes of cardio to work your body from top to bottom and blast fat before the big day.


Want to push your workout a little more? Grab a ball and try Zaki’s Brides on the Ball mini workout.


Fuel Your Body with the Right Food

More than a combo of cardio and strength training, Zaki reminds brides to focus their attention on food choices too. “Fuel your body right to feel slim and trim on your big day.” She suggests that you “Save indulges like rich desserts, and sweet, high-calorie cocktails for your honeymoon. Get wedding gown-ready by sticking with an array of fresh vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins. Eat your complex carbs – in the form of whole grains -- early on in the day.”

 

For an Instant Body Lift

When that big aisle walk arrives, Zaki has one instant slimming fix- Posture. “Give your posture a check up! Whether you’re walking, dancing or feeding your groom some wedding cake, sit tall by lengthening your spine upward. Relax your shoulder blades back and down as you lift your heart. You’ll radiate beauty, confidence and grace while looking pounds slimmer instantly!”

    It's like you knew I was going to be reading this!! My wedding is 8 days away and I've got a little slimming and toning to do.

    Since I've been banned by my fiance and maid of honor from playing in my softball game three days before the wedding, because of my proclivity to getting hit with the ball, I must now find alternative sources of calorie burning and toning. :)

    Thank you so much!! I'll be doing these when I get home!
