Are you a bride-to-be on the verge of becoming a bridezilla because things seem to be getting out of control? One of the many things that are on a bride’s mind is undoubtedly her weight and how will she look in her dress. While many brides purchase expensive gym memberships and end up wasting them, many prefer working out at home amidst all the chaos.

Believe it or not it is possible and here we present to you a personal bridal boot camp you can try at home! Here are 8 basic exercises you can easily do at home to tone up your body.

1. Jumping Jacks

Aim for two to three rounds with 10-20 repetitions of this to get your heart pumping.

2. Squat Jumps

Again two to three rounds with 10-20 reps are good everyday for toned thighs, hips and calves. So, if you’re a bride-to-be and hoping that your dress fits like a glove, this exercise can really help you lose those stubborn extra pounds.

3. Lunges

Best bet if you want toned thighs, try them two to three rounds with 10-20 reps each leg.

4. Burpees

The ultimate exercise to get your heart racing. Try two to three rounds with 10-15 reps.

5. 5. Mountain Climbers

Start with slow movement and slowly increase the pace. Try 8-10 at first then increase the number and speed.

6. Tricep Dips

If your dress reveals your arms, tricep dips are great to sculpt your upper arms and your shoulders. Aim for 2-3 rounds with 10-15 reps.

7. 1 Minute Plank

As easy as it looks, it can really challenge your core and is a great full body exercise. Increase your plank time as you gain strength and endurance.

8. Ab Crunches

The most basic exercise to lose weight from your stomach, but remember spot reduction doesn’t work unless you lose total body fat. Aim for 15-20 and to make it more challenging, do it with dumb bells. (use heavy water bottles in case you don’t have a pair of dumb bells at home).
