Fit & beautiful for your wedding - improving your fitness

Cardio
Short for cardiovascular exercise, this type of exercise is the primary tool for losing body fat. Body fat is stored fuel and cardio burns fuel. If losing weight is your primary goal, this should be the foundation of your exercise program. There are literally hundreds of cardio options to choose from, but what really matters is the amount of time you spend doing it. Expect to spend a minimum of 30 minutes (consecutively) a day, at least 5 days a week to effect a change. The more weight you want to lose, the more time you will have to spend.

Strength
Also called weight training, this exercise will build muscle and strength. That is all it will do. Strength training will not make any part of your body smaller (that is the job of cardio). If you would like to see the outline of muscles (definition), then you will need to do strength training. By building muscle and reducing body fat, you will start to see the shape of the muscles under the skin. Luckily, strength training does not require a large investment of time. An efficient program only takes about 20 minutes, 3 times a week.

Flexibility
Often referred to as stretching, this is the most overlooked of the three components, but it is equally important as the other two. The two biggest reasons brides should be concerned with stretching are to help relieve stress and to improve posture. It is possible to make a positive change with the addition of a few well selected stretching positions performed daily.

There are no shortcuts to changing your body. To make true changes requires a consistent and efficient exercise program. It is possible to make small changes in a short amount of time, but if you are looking for dramatic changes, get started early to give yourself every chance at success.
