Lose 15 Pounds with the 60 Day Bridal Bootcamp!

Natalie Minh, 3x European Physique Champion and Bride-to-Be
The wedding fairytale begins with the Man of your Dreams, down on one knee, asking for your hand in marriage, and slipping on the sparkly bauble on your ring finger. Guaranteed that the first thing you focus on the wedding prep agenda is to look for the perfect wedding dress. But what if you had to sacrifice your dream dress because you weren’t feeling confident enough to wear it?

Please note that the one-minute break applies after the exercise set is done, not in between repetitions.

Monday:

30 steps of walking wide stride lunges. One minute break
10 pushups with both feet on the ground to fatigue. Continue with 10 pushups with knees on the ground. One minute break.
Maximum number of crunches performed in one minute. One minute break.

20 leap frog jumps beginning with the movement beginning with a crouching position like a frog and fingers touching the ground in between your legs. Leap up and reach for the sky with both hands. One minute break.

Plank position to engage the abs, hold for one minute. Laying chest down on the ground, hold yourself up with your forearms while tightening the core and thighs. One minute break.

Repeat this series 4 times.

Tuesday:

20 minutes of cardio, your choice done at a level 7 out of 10 in effort. I prefer the stairmill at the gym, jump rope if I’m in a time squeeze (you can condense this down to 10 minutes if you are jump roping).

30 steps of walking wide stride, diagonal lunges, making a zig zag movement.

One minute break

Using a chair, perform 20 tricep dips. Your hands are on the chair, facing forward, feet on the ground and legs/torso extended. Dip down, bending at the elbows, until you are at a 90 degree angle at the elbow. Push up to complete the movement. One minute break.

Repeat the diagonal lunges and tricep dips series 3 times.

10 One legged squats. With one foot on a stool or bench and standing, bend at the knee until your hind knee nearly touches the ground. Push back up through the heel and squeeze your glutes at the peak. Switch legs and repeat. One minute break.
