Planning for your big day can be a lot of work especially as you look to find the most effective workout while still attending various, dreaded cake tasting events. Do your best not to get stressed, and remember less is more when partaking in your pre-wedding workout regimen. The best pre-wedding workout advice, we can offer is to stay afloat, enjoy it with a smile, and be sure to use your noddles.

Poolercise is one of the best low impact full body workouts with high results. Intense running, jogging, power walking, and even step aerobics can all be done in most neighborhood swimming pools. Utilizing every inch of the pool to assist you in your workout is essential, for example the shallow water offers a way to do much needed squats to reduce your thunder thighs, while sculpting definition within your shoulders, arms, and back. Using your noddles (floatation devices), which act as weights, thus adds great intensity to any pool workout because your aim is to keep the noddle steady, hence those flabby abdominals and arm muscles are put to use.

Working out in a pool will offer you the same benefits as on land but with less possibility of injury and no impact on your joints. Aqua sports have become rather popular for professional athletes, especially those with pre-existing injuries. In fact, studies are showing where physical therapist are observing great improvement in their patients who utilize the pool as part of the recovery exercises in comparison to those who don’t take advantage of the aqua-aerobics

In water you are half your weight, therefore you are also able to accomplish more than with land exercises. In short, the Pool workout has an overall full body benefits; strengthening the immune system, improving cardiovascular, toning, weight loss (with regular & consistent use) and its cooling in the summer months.

Be consistent, stick with your workout despite what comes up because your big day is just around the corner and you don’t want any flab hanging over your strapless, alternative wedding gown that will leave your guest speechless. Be persistent in losing those inches and pounds to accentuate your girlish figure. Bring your own towel, stretch before entering the water, and DO NOT eat before class. This will help you avoid cramps in the deep end (the very last place you want to get stiff).
Add a seven day detox to your intense three to five days a week watererobics step class in order to blast the fat. Lets get wet without a whole lot of sweat!
