Body Bliss

    As the wedding plans pile up, it’s easy to let health and fitness slip down your priority list. But with the prospect of hundreds of eyes on you, there’s no better excuse than your wedding day to launch into a new fitness routine, or to renew your vows to take care of your body.
    Whether it’s toning up your arms and back for that amazing strapless gown, losing 10 pounds, reducing stress or preventing illness, there are countless reasons to get in shape for your nuptials. An intelligent fitness program can deliver it all.

Investing in fitness
    Showing up to the gym without knowing the ABCs of training and nutrition can yield unsatisfying results or worse. There’s nothing pretty about hobbling down the aisle due to over-zealous exercising. A good trainer can ensure that you use your time as safely, efficiently and effectively as possible.
     “If you can include it in the cost of the wedding, consult with a professional,” says Morgan Luzier, trainer and owner of Balance Fitness Studio in Minneapolis. “Then you have some support and it keeps you accountable.”
    Trainers are also crucial in evaluating your current state of health and fitness. The professionals at HomFit, an in-home personal training company, evaluate movement patterns, structure, level of conditioning, injuries and alignment. “We really want it to be safe, effective and results-oriented,” says co-owner Michael Stoltzman. His trainers also take pictures, measurements and other statistics—intimidating, perhaps, but a great way to see the rewards of your commitment.
