help your bride get fit [Page 1 of 2]

After following our Get Fit Groom plan (you did follow the plan, right?), you've been sticking to a healthy diet, you're in the best shape of your life, and you're ready to rock that tux. You may have trimmed down, but your future bride may be struggling.  Planning a wedding and frankly, life in general, can be a recipe for stress. Men and women alike often compensate for stress by either starving themselves or eating compulsively. Your bride-to-be could be overeating, not finding enough time for the treadmill or simply be fueling bad habits. There is still plenty both of you together can do to tone up and adopt a healthy lifestyle. How can you be of assistance? GroomGroove.com has a few tips for you.

The Good News

If there was ever a time in her life when your bride felt motivated to look like Uma Thurman (though not an attainable goal for everyone), it's in preparation for her wedding day. The gyms of the world are filled with beautiful brides frantically skipping rope, pumping 10 pound weights, and working with personal trainers to get rid of that alleged "cellulite on my legs." Tap into that desire!

Sensitivity

The key to helping your fiancée lose some pre-wedding weight is sensitivity.   Every man knows how dangerous the question "Does this make me look fat?" can be. The last thing a busy, stressed-out bride needs to hear from the man she's about to make a lifelong commitment to is, "Gee, honey, you're really letting yourself go." Think carefully about how to communicate your desire to get into great shape as a couple.  

Make the Trip, Together

If you are both committed to getting fit for the wedding day, it will be much easier to stay motivated and have a good time if you do so together. A regular workout becomes a great "date" that you can have with your fiancée. If you are both starting from the same physical shape, then it truly is a great opportunity to see what you can accomplish together. You're a team in life, so start early and create a lifestyle change for both of you. Less Doritos, more delts.

Beefcake

Keep in mind that the goal of getting fit is to "get fit" and not "get huge", and in her case, not to be so thin that she ends up looking like Skeletor in a wedding dress. You should think about activities that you can do together that don't necessarily involve 45 pound plates and his and her matching dumbbells. Your bride isn't going to be motivated to work out with you, nor will she get the results she's after, if you stay inside the weightlifting box. Find your local running shop and take up running as a joint activity. Nothing motivates like preparing for a 10-K running race in the spring. Get the schedule for your local pilates or yoga studio and book some classes together. These options are amazing body sculptors and also great ways to de-stress. And if that sounds like too much, instead of just hanging out on the couch after dinner, go for a nice evening walk. You'll sleep better and you'll both shed some pounds.
