We know this is the moment you’ve been waiting for, but it’s important to remember that health doesn’t happen through exercise alone — nutrition and recovery are important, too. That being said, if weight loss or building strength is your goal, you’re going to see those results most prominently if you’re putting work in at the gym, which means following this workout schedule and making time to do so. If you’re helping plan for the big day, you might feel too busy to hit the gym… but that’s exactly when making time for yourself and your health matters most! Whether it’s a workout, a walk or a mindful meditation, self-care can be the difference between a stressful wedding season and a mindful, joyous big day. That’s why we encourage you to stick to our workout schedule of making it to the gym four times a week, for the entire six weeks (while listening to your body as needed, of course… more on that below).

You’ll find three different types of workouts featured here: Fundamental Movement workouts, Strength workouts, and Burn workouts. Fundamental movement workouts are designed to train your muscle groups to work better together, and strengthen your body for everyday movements. Strength workouts are focused on building strength in specific muscle groups, and Burn workouts are designed for exactly what they sound like: a fast-paced, intense workout that will have you sweating!

For this workout guide, you’ll complete one Fundamental Movement workout, one Strength workout, one Burn workout and one bonus cardio workout each week (full schedule below). You’ll start by cycling through the first three weeks of workouts, then repeat that cycle for the second three weeks and increase the weight that you’re using as you become stronger throughout the program!

For your bonus cardio workout, you can do your preferred type of cardio, whether that’s running, power walking, biking, rowing or using the elliptical trainer. Here are some of our favorite treadmill, rower, tabata, and cycling workouts to get your cardio in!
