Today’s wedding workout has three main benefits: to tone your arms, to improve your cardio, and to make you feel like a total badass. I’ve chosen moves that will primarily target your upper body (hello strapless dress), but there’s also a good bit of love shown to your abs and legs. When I edited this…
Tie those laces ladies; bridal bootcamp is in session! All you need for this workout is lots of energy, and maybe an exercise mat! Even if you don’t have that energy right now, I want you to do the workout anyway. Remember that exercise actually boosts your energy, improves your mood, and is just a generally…
We’re kicking off the new month (and almost a new season) with a full body bridal workout that includes some of my favorite moves. But this workout is a little different most — it’s a 7 day challenge to help you feel motivated to exercise! For many women the problem with working out starts at…
Today I’m sharing recommendations for simple pieces of workout equipment that will take your at-home workouts to the next level. I’m a huge fan of exercising in my home, garden or neighborhood.

You’re going to love today’s 10 minute leg workout. It’s quick, sweaty and effective. But before we dive in I want to give you some helpful tips about how to stay motivated to exercise and follow through on your bridal body goals! ~~~ I was totally wiped out last week. It was that kind of bone…
Today’s 7 minute wedding dress workout focuses on your triceps (a.k.a those pesky muscles at the back of the upper arm)! This series isolates the upper arm in a way that most other workouts won’t, making it an essential addition to your bridal fitness routine – no matter what style of dress you’re wearing. Trim. Tone.…
This 9 minute inner thigh workout will tone those (troublesome) upper inner thighs in no time. All you need is an exercise mat and a smile on your face… believe me, the move that starts at 6:07 is a total “grin and bear it” kind of thing. I recommend starting with my previous workout, which focused…
I have a feeling that you’ll love this outer thigh workout as much as I do. Nothing says burn, baby burn, as much as some quality time spent with the Theraband! This is part of my “isolation” workout series — think of it like bridal bootcamp specifically for your triceps, hips and belly. You can…
Today’s arms and abs workout will tap into your muscles from every direction. To make it even more effective I’ve created moves that keep your abs engaged when you’re working your arms, and your arms engaged when you’re training your abs. It’s definitely what I would call a bang for your buck kind of sequence. I’m…
It’s almost July 4th, which means lounging poolside, flipping burgers and sipping cocktails is on the horizon. But before you settle in for three days of chilling, we need to get your workout plan in order. I know, I know, I hate to be the party pooper, but summer brings with it so many opportunities to…
Yep, you read that title correctly, I’ve been inspired to create a “Mariah Carey wedding workout”. I know, I’m such a dork! It seems that a day can’t go by without an update on the singer’s wedding diet, or drama, or both. But that doesn’t mean you can’t shape up for your own big day with…

Hey there beauty! In today’s post I am talking about bridal posture, and more importantly, how to get better posture with Pilates based exercises.

Hey there gorgeous woman! Today’s 8 minute calorie torching workout is just what you need to increase the intensity of your bridal fitness routine, and fast-track your results.

Today is Part Three of our Busy Bride Meditation Series, which delves a little deeper into the practice of mindful living. Mindfulness simply means living in the moment, experiencing what is going on around you, your thoughts and actions, as they occur. It means “paying attention on purpose” (Jon Kabat-Zinn) without judgement or criticism, without…
This week I’m taking a mini workout sabbatical. For the next seven days I won’t dangle a toe into the high intensity training area, I won’t bat an eye at the weight rack, and I probably won’t get my Down Dog on. Instead I will be focusing on gentle walks and implementing a mobility and stretch…
Today’s brand new workout is inspired by HIIT, strength training, dance and Pilates, to keep your mind and muscles as engaged as you are! I’m calling it the mindbodybride Mashup and it’s the perfect way to boost your bridal fitness in 2016. I’m a big fan of combining random fitness elements in my workouts (even though it…
