For Brides
The
few, the proud, the fit.
By
Tamara Kleinberg
At
some point during their engagement, most brides begin to think of
ways to lose weight and get toned up before the big day. For many
women it's hard to know where to start. If you're one of those women-bride
or not-who wants to get in shape, this is the book for you.
Kleinberg
plays the role of drill sargeant and the reader is the recruit.
This book is packed full of real stories and advice from brides
who have been there and worked hard to achieve great results. There
are easy-to-follow descriptions and photos of exercises that work
to tone the whole body, with special emphasis on problem areas that
get exposure during the big day: upper arms, back, tummy, and butt.
To make it even easier on you, Kleinberg has provided charts in
the back that can be photocopied and filled out so you can track
your own progress and motivate yourself to keep going. She has even
included a recipe section to help you create a healthy lifestyle
of nutrition and exercise.
Aside
from a few pieces of inexpensive exercise equipment to help you
perform the exercises described, this book has everything you need
to help you look your best on your wedding day, and every day after
that!
As
a bride-to-be myself, I found Kleinberg's approach very accessible
and well-rounded. Unlike crash diets, Kleinberg wants brides to
take a healthy approach to weight loss and to make realistic goals.
She says that the best results happen after 6 months of beginning
the program, and that maintaining a healthy lifestyle after the
wedding is important, too. (However, if you have less than six months
until your wedding, she allows for you to start the program at whatever
point of planning you're in). Definitely check this book out if
you feel your body could use some improvement.
