Sometimes I don't have time to work out, so when I'm just doing chores around the house, I'll wear 2 lb weights around my ankles. It's a really easy way to burn calories!

I thought it was helpful to record my workout goals in a journal. It was a great motivator to have them written down.

Total Body Conditioning classes. Make sure they use a jump rope, stability ball, bosu ball...etc. You WILL loose weight and shape up.

I enjoy running outside and try to do it at least 3 times a week even though the weather is a bit hot. it is nice to go right before it gets dark so it is a bit cooler, also very relaxing. Usually after my run, i do short ab exercises and arm weights.

Schedule your workouts with a friend. It's much more difficult to back out when you have set plans. And it makes the workout go by quicker because its much more fun.

I think strength training is important for a bride-to-be. Your legs should be strong so they can manage a long day on your feet and in heels.

Get a trainer 3 months out to your wedding. And stick to your diet, and exercise routines. My husband and I had a competition to see who could lose the most weight and body fat. Then while we were on the cruise we used the gym in the mornings. We got into a routine.

I had all intentions to increase my fitness for my wedding but was not able to due to the business in my life so I worked on being positive with how I felt about myself.

Drink lots and lots of water...not only does it help with the bloat it also is great for the skin. Also, stay active, it helps keep the wedding stress at bay

Find time for yourself. Relieve your stress by getting a massage, reading an intriguing book, talking to a friend, or retail therapy always helps!

Leg circles are easy to do anywhere at home. Lay down on your back and point one toe in the air, drawing out a large circle. Do about 10 reps and switch directions that you are drawing the circles. Switch legs and repeat.

Arm raises are very important to tone those upper arms and eliminate flab. You can do about 12-15 lateral raises and 12-15 side raises. Start with 3 to 5 pound weights and increase as you see fit!

~ Alyssa

Try to do 100 crunches; about 4 different types of 25 reps each. (You can do straight crunches the normal way, bicycle with alternating legs, or feet-raised while on the floor).

~ Hillary

Do 15 push ups. If you are new to push ups, start out on your knees and once you gain more strength, you can move up onto your toes.

~ Kathleen

Doing about 20 to 30 minutes of cardio is ideal. Running is very good, but if you can't start off doing that right away, then you can try walking with short running intervals. To build up your stamina, increase the running to walking ratio until you are able to run for about 20 to 30 minutes non-stop.

~ Candy

It's important to do cardio because it's the best way to lose weight. You also need to make sure you are munching on the right foods. Pay a visit to a local nutritionist and make sure you are selecting the right eats.

Running on the esplanade along the charles river is very relaxing and fun.. There is such a unique mix of people around there enjoying the beautiful scenery. bring a friend!

I've been taking a ZUMBA class which is a hi-low impact latin dance class and you can burn from 400-600 calories an hour. Try it!

shorts and wedges are cute for now. i wear it all the time. also, different/fun ways to wear scarves, aka tying them to ur purse, bandana style, or making them into headbands. bright, but not neon colors.

Mornings are the best time to excercise. Everyday you should do at least an hour of physical activity and switch it up, biking, swimming, jogging...

~ Terri o

Morning is the best time to do excercise because if you wait till the end of the day you may be tired. Every day you should do at least an hour of excercise but switch it up, biking, jogging, swimming.
