However, many brides experience some low self confidence if they gain a bit of weight or don’t feel as toned they think they should be in their wedding gown.

Firstly, wedding planning is stressful – and if you don’t have a good coping mechanism for handling stress – you need to find one. Often in times of stress we reach for a tub of ice cream or bag of chips. At the start of your wedding plans, make a commitment to do something healthy when the stress begins to get the best of you.

Some healthy stress busting strategies:
- go for a long walk with your dog or a good friend
- choose to crunch your frustrations away on carrot sticks
- be sure to consistently get a good night sleep
- join kick boxing class to get some real kicks and punches in

If you find yourself needing to lose a bit of weight or wanting a more toned body figure, then consider hiring a personal trainer.

I’ve been working with a great personal trainer since June this year – he’s not mean like the TV show bootcamps, but he will give you a hard workout and push you a little past your comfort zone – all in the name of getting results.

Now don’t laugh – when I started in June, I could barely walk 3 long flights of stairs – now, I can run 3 flights of stairs and walking 10 sets or more of stairs is no problem. That’s just my cardio improvement in 3 months!! I’ve gone down a dress size, and everything is toning up. I like the slow and steady approach. In just one hour a week with Darcy, and going to the gym at least 2 other times in a week…I’m accomplishing a lot more than I would on my own.

Darcy is about to start his 6 week survivor series (September 14) that will take place 3 nights a week – if you are ready for some serious results, this may be the class for you.

If you want to talk to Darcy about your fitness goals and how he can help you achieve them, give him a call or email him:
