When you’re a bride to be, it can begin to feel like the wedding planning process is truly taking over every inch of your schedule and your free time. You’ll start to lay in bed at night and wonder how in the world you can fit in the hobbies, activities, and even just everyday necessities that you managed to juggle before your to-do list was hijacked with wedding decisions and vendor meetings. But if keeping in shape has always been a priority, or if you’re a bride who wants to make sure she has time to work off a few extra pounds before the big day, here are four easy ways to fit exercise into your busy wedding planning schedule.
Take a walk around the block when you have a vendor call or do ten push-ups after every twenty wedding envelopes you stuff. Make working out something you do in between or even while you are focusing on wedding planning.
Whether that hour is once a day or three times a week, schedule an hour that’s devoted strictly to working out. Leave your cellphone, iPad, and computer at home and hit the gym or take a work out class.
Don’t feel like you have to do this alone! Ask your fiancé to join in and you can be each other’s accountability buddy. Plan workouts together with a rule that when you’re power lifting or running on the treadmill, no wedding talk is allowed.
Remember, you don’t have to be near a gym to get a good workout in. Download a handful of exercise apps to your phone and turn them on whenever you have five or ten minutes to spare.
