Exercise Plan

There are lots of good YouTube channels (I think fitness blender is one) that you can do at home workouts with minimal equipment

Try yoga! It seems like it's just stretching but because you are working all body weight it tightens your muscles up without bulking. Plus you can always do it at home.

A friend of mine started 80 Day Obsession from Beach Body and is seeing great results. I just purchased a one year subscription for their On Demand videos and plan to start their 21 Day Fix tomorrow. I will have to let you know how it goes!

Another recommendation I have regarding cellulite... I have heard that dry brushing is good to reduce the appearance of cellulite because it exfoliates the skin and pulls blood toward the surface of the skin. I’ve been doing it about 3-4 days a week for a couple months now and while I can’t say my cellulite is necessarily diminished it has made my skin sooooooo smooth! Especially through the winter when I normally get really dry skin.

YouTube videos are your best friends! You can do full workouts at home that last 20 to 30 minutes and is a full workout. You can probably look for the areas you want to concentrate more as well

Yes YouTube! Piyo is awesome for you

Try Kayla Itsines BBG.

Download the app 8fit! It's free and it's all HIIT workouts so they actually will help you tone!

If you wanted to try classes though go check out Orangetheory you can try your first class for free!

We have the same date and I'm in the same boat! I just started doing yoga one a week and I've been trying really hard to walk atleast 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day. In all of the research I've done, drinking water is a MAJOR component!

Another date town here! I’ve heard the water part as well and have been upping my intake on that. I used to be very in to spinning and am trying to get back into it, but in terms of at home workouts I bought some light hand weights (2/3/5lbs) and have been working my arms, since that’s my area of concentration. I saw peloton is now doing classes that you can stream for in home workouts so I’m contemplating that.

Blogilates on Youtube is one of my favorites. She has both paid and free content and she is just super positive and bubbly and I really enjoy her videos and workouts!

Download the TIU app, it's awesome! They have so many workouts & they are so easy to do. Some use things like yoga mats, light weights, etc. but some don't require any of that. Plus they specify the part of the body they work out, so you can choose!

Hello, fellow Amanda! I am also getting married on 10/19/19! I looked on youtube and found an exercise routine Bridal Babe Workout! Tone it up wedding series. Good luck and Congrats!! There is also this oil that Eden's Garden produces called Cellulite but I don't know how effective it is?

If you want exercise that you can do in your apartment, without any machines/props, that is easy to commit to & scientifically proven to work, without leaving you injured: try 7 MINUTE WORKOUT!
It’s high intensity interval training using only your body weight & it takes only 7-21 minutes (depending how many sets you can do). You can google it or get 7-minute workout app that will time you & guide you through it.
Here is NY Times article about it:

I also love DownDog yoga app. It’s super customizable to how much time you have & to your level (from beginner to very advanced) & it’s very well guided, so even if you’re a beginner you can do it! It’s a great workout for core strength & overall muscle toning from top to bottom. It’s also fun & plays great music too

Going to the gym can be such an inconvenience so I recently looked into doing home workouts instead, and thankfully I found this program by OpenFit that I would recommend checking out, called Xtend Barre: https://www.openfit.com/p/xtend-barre

It's a program designed to help you sculpt your body, which is perfect for someone that is looking to tone up, rather than lose a ton of weight. You don't even have to set aside a lot of time to do it, as each workout lasts only 30 minutes. The program is paired with a meal plan to help you get the most out of your exercise. If you want to give it a shot, OpenFit offers a 30-day free trial so that you can experience a full month of workouts before you have to pay.

If you're not looking to spend any money, OpenFit also has a ton of recipes, stretches, basic workouts, and general fitness information that you can use to help you get that flat stomach for your big day: https://www.openfit.com

Good nutrition is KEY! Just watch your carb and sugar intake. You can find many quizzes online that can give you your specific "target" number for your macronutrients.

I also find I drop weight fast with HIIT workouts! They are 20-30ish minutes long and when used with weights can torch calories! I go to a gym, so my instructor MAKES me do them, but a few plans I love are Madeline Moves (who has a tighter together plan) - I used to do her plan at planet fitness and dropped weight! Also Kayla Itsines!
