I love boot camp workouts. You’re guided by a personal trainer who will push you to work harder for the results you want, you’re in a group of people with similar fitness goals, and many boot camps also include great nutrition advice. Having gone through a few boot camp sessions of my own, I can say with confidence that this kind of workout will definitely give you the energy and stamina you need to make it to the altar. I’m also seeing some great boot camps that are designed just for brides, with workouts to make you look fantastic in that strapless wedding gown you’ve had your eye on.
Added Incentive: Extreme Bridal Bootcamp in Northridge has teamed up with Certified By The Guide cakemaker A Sweet Design for “The Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge”. You can get in shape and win a dream wedding cake for your wedding, and bridesmaids can win a bridal shower cake for their bride-to-be—what a “sweet” idea!
Here are some California bridal boot camps to check out:

For some years now, the vast majority of wedding gowns have been strapless. That means lots and lots of bare arms and shoulders. If you love the fashion but are a little nervous about the state of your arms and shoulders, now’s the time to get busy. If you have an exercise ball and a pair of hand weights, you’re all set. Failing that, a bench, or even a padded footstool and a couple of one-pound tins of tomatoes might even do the trick!

I love strapless wedding gowns, and yes, every bride-to-be is nervous about the state of the arms and shoulders. Bridal boot camp sounds great.
BTW, Lisa, I tried your link but it doesn’t work, the page has expired and is no longer available.
Hi,
Many women really want to get into shape but, unfortunately, they believe the several myths surrounding women’s fitness—especially when it comes weight lifting and strength training. This holds them back from getting the results they want.
Boot camp is not for everyone, and I don’t think you get the upper arm, ab definition, and great posture that can make you look gorgeous. However, Pilates can!!!! betterbody too in Agoura is offering a Pilates bridal program called Better Brides that REALLY can get you into shape. With it comes massage, make-up consultations, and relationship life coach sessions that make it totally ROCK!!!!!!!
Eight weeks and I am SOOOOO buff!!!!!!!
Great suggestion, Emily! Who can go wrong with Pilates, massage, and makeup?
They have a workout there called XTreme60 which is a combination of Pilates and cardio—makes bootcamp look easy!!! But it also amazing that Pilates gets you in amazing shape for sex…I know..sort of wierd, right? but true!!
I have a great suggestion for weight loss and fitness: Thai kickboxing. It’s a great cardio workout, tones your upper body, and all the rotations really improve your core strength (read abs)
Boot camp workouts are really great but you must do different routines or else your body might get used to it. Try other routines like <a >Personal Training Chicago</a> or kettle workouts.

Did anyone see this article about Hong Kong brides taking boxing lessons to prepare for their wedding?
If you can get over the fact that you’re learning how to punch just before your wedding, it could be a really effective way to get your arms toned!
