I decided to combine May and June’s wedding workouts together for a one-two knockout punch of a routine! Wedding Workouts #2 and #3 will be targeting our shoulders and backs. Whether you are rocking strapless or backless dresses, let’s get those shoulders and backs toned and terrific! Even if you are not planning to walk down the aisle anytime soon, you can still enjoy this workout and use it to strut your stuff in your sundresses, tank tops, tube tops, halter tops…you name it!

Workout Outline:

• Complete this set of exercises 2-3 times.
• Rest only for 60 seconds between sets.
• For best results, complete this workout 3 times a week on non-consecutive days.

Note: For shoulder exercises, a lighter weight, such as 5-8 pounds, is recommended.

1. Warm-Up Stand with your hands at your sides and feet hip-width apart. Lift your shoulders up toward your ears. Hold for 3 seconds, then lower your shoulders. Repeat for 1 minute.

Hello my fellow brides-to-be! The one-year countdown until my wedding has begun! Each month, for the next twelve months, I will post a new Wedding Workout to help you get ready for your big day, too! (Even if you’re not planning to walk down the aisle anytime soon, you can still enjoy these workouts!)

Wedding Workout #1 will be targeting our arms. Whether we want to wave our hands in the air all night without worrying about that pesky arm jiggle or we want to be able to toss that bouquet the length of a football field, let’s get those arms ready and picture-perfect!

Workout Outline:

• Complete this set of exercises 2-3 times.
• Rest only for 60 seconds between sets.
• For best results, complete this workout 3 times a week on non-consecutive days.

1. Warm-Up Lift your arms out to your sides at shoulder height. Point your fingertips upwards so your wrists are flexed and make small forward moving circles with your arms for 30 seconds. Pause and reverse the direction of your circles for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat both directions.

2. Hammer Curl into Shoulder Press Start with your feet hip width apart, a dumbbell in each hand, and palms facing in. Curl the dumbbells up to your shoulders and then continue the motion by pressing the dumbbells straight up over your head. Slowly reverse to start. Do 12-15 repetitions.

For an added challenge, pick one foot up slightly off the floor and alternate when you are half way through your repetitions.
