Congratulations! You're getting married!
Planning a wedding is exciting and stressful. With such an important day approaching, you'll want to ensure that you're feeling energized and looking your absolute best. A healthy diet, coupled with regularly scheduled exercise, is a large part of keeping stress at a minimum during one of the most important times of your life.
First things first, make the commitment to have a healthier body inside and out. Do a little research to decide what type of fitness program you'll stick to. For example, instead of going the traditional gym route, begin yoga or pilates classes 4 times per week. Other fun ways to shed pounds and add cardio is to take up salsa, bollywood, or, belly dance classes. All of these modalities work up a sweat, shape and tone, burn calories and is fun! In addition to the fun factor, you'll immediately feel sexier, strengthen your body from the core, and work muscles you didn't know you had.

Keep that Great Pre-Wedding Body
Sure, you want to look wonderful on your wedding day, but what about ever-after?
The American Heart Association (AHA) knows that once you're married, you might not feel quite so motivated about staying in shape.
To help, the organization is offering a free 12-week fitness and diet plan developed specifically for newlyweds. "The program is perfect for those of you who worked hard to get fit for your wedding day-and want to stay that way!" says Rita Redberg, M.D., a spokesperson for the AHA. The plan includes nutrition tips and advice on staying active.

Relationship Tips
Work Out With Our Partner | Start simple. Walking is one of the best exercises for couples and has many health benefits. Plus, you can talk to each other without gasping for breath. If walking isn't your cup of tea, it's important that you find the activity that you both really like, can do regularly and will actually complete.
Quality Time. Couples spend most of their time apart due to careers and other responsibilities. Instead of hitting the gym alone, plan a workout time that fits both of your schedules. You'll reach your fitness goals, without sacrificing that one-on-one time that every partnership needs.
