Start the Fitness Plan

Whether you're a beginner or a fitness fanatic, personal trainer Brett Hoebel designed this printable exercise routine to make toning up for the big day easy. Choose a few of them to target a trouble spot, or incorporate them all into a full-body workout. If you opt for the latter, work out on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Pencil in at least 30 minutes of cardio on Saturdays, and rest on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.

Get More Expert Fitness Advice

We've heard tons of great get-fit advice from the pros over the years, but this inisight from personal trainer Brett Hoebel has stood the test of time: "The biggest pitfalls are starting too late, working out alone, and doing too much too soon. Begin at least three months ahead of your wedding, hit the gym with a friend, and take it slow in the beginning. Otherwise, you'll burn out."
