So you’ve picked out your wedding dress. It’s perfect. The
one you’ve always dreamt about. There’s only one problem:
It’s not the dress suggested you wear for your body type.
So what, I say! Go out and get the body that’s going to look great
in the dress you’ve chosen. Here are workouts for every wedding
dress available. Just pair your neckline with a silhouette and you‘ve
got a complete, total body workout. Do this workout three times a week
along with 4 days of any cardio that gets your heart rate from 135-145
bpm.
These
workouts can be done at home, with dumbbells and a stability ball or in
the gym. A list of the exercises and their proper form can be found at
www.e-weightloss-fitness.com.
Do 3 sets of each exercise and 12-15 repetitions. If you can perform 15
repetitions on a given exercise without much effort, increase the weight.
