COVID-19 has made all of us have to rethink and change our plans for the year. If you planned to get married this year I'm sorry, tough break. You're down but not out. You may have decided to postpone your wedding to 2021, decided to do a very small ceremony, or conduct your wedding online so your family around the world can be with you on your special day.
Regardless of where you are in your plans, one thing that we all want to do is to look our best whether you are getting married, participating in the wedding or participating as a guest. If you fall in one of these categories and want to look and feel good, a great way to do this is to be consistent with your workouts to achieve whichever goal you have set out for yourself.
I have taught fitness classes for over 10 years, and within those years I have created many workouts including workouts that focus on improving your cardio and strength, workouts that focus on functional training, and workouts that combine cardio, strength and dance. In my experience, teaching and doing my own workouts, short circuits that hit all of your major muscle groups are great for people who want to get more bang for their buck, which means time-efficient full-body training that will make you stronger and feel like the queen you are!
I want to help you look and feel great when you are ready to walk down that aisle.
In the workout below I feature four exercises to target your legs and booty, your midsection, shoulders and your arms. You will perform this workout as a circuit which means doing the exercises one after the other, after you perform the last exercise in the workout take a minute break and repeat the circuit. The exercise "yes I look good in this strapless dress" is probably the trickiest of all because you will be working for three muscle groups. Check out the video below to help you perform each exercise.
I hope that this workout meets your fitness wedding needs. If you are looking for a more comprehensive exercise plan or someone to choreograph your first dance with your new life partner, I'm your girl! Contact me at ghanagirlproductions@gmail.com.
