Working with a personal trainer prior to wedding

Working with a personal trainer prior to wedding

When my boyfriend Frank proposed to me, I was ecstatic.

  • After dating for nearly six years, I was doubtful we’d ever get married.

I was more than ready to start the next chapter of our lives. Rather than take an entire year to plan a huge wedding, I set the date for six months later. We both wanted a more intimate affair with just our close family and friends. Despite keeping the wedding small and tasteful, I definitely hoped to look my best for the ceremony and pictures. Trying on wedding gowns made me realize that I had some work to do. I had gotten lazy about my workouts and indulgent with my eating habits. I’d put on some weight over the last couple of years and lost muscle tone. I didn’t simply want to get in shape for the wedding but was looking to make a lifestyle change. I immediately went to the gym and signed up for sessions with a personal trainer as well as a nutritionist. The one-on-one workouts were extremely gueling. I’ve never pushed my body so hard or gotten so physically fatigued. There were mornings where I woke up so sore that I had trouble getting out of bed. However, I always felt really good about myself at the end of each training session. Combining that intensity of exercise with a well-balanced and healthy meal plan provided quick and effective results. I saw the improvement in the mirror and certainly felt it in my energy levels. The next time I tried on wedding dresses, I was happy with my body and proud of myself.
