The Best Workouts for Every Wedding Dress
If you’re one of the lucky gals walking down the aisle this year, you’ve probably got a million things on your to-do list. Between the guest list, invitations and dress shopping, we know that wedding planning can start to feel stressful. One easy way to combat stress? Add a fun workout routine to your schedule that will have you feeling stronger and confident on your big day and every day leading up to it. While you’re working up a sweat, don’t forget to factor in your wedding dress style. Showing off your arms in a strapless dress? Add an upper-body workout to your regimen. Rocking a shorter hemline? It’s all about toning those legs. No matter what type of dress you’re rockin’, we’ve found the perfect exercises for you.
