8 Minute Calorie Torching Workout for Brides

This week on Mind Body Bride, I have a fabulously quick and sweaty workout that will torch calories, and can be done at home.

I love exercising at home. Even though I have a membership to a gym near my house, it feels so sterile, stuffy and silent — the antithesis of getting a great workout. Let's face it, if you have to do burpees then you need some serious beats to keep you going, and that gym plays the classical station 😁 😁

Any why waste the time of traveling to the gym if you can shape your dream bridal bod in your own living room? Use those extra 15 minutes to sleep in, or linger over a cup of coffee. 

Once you've had a chance to train with me I would love to hear from you! Leave a comment telling me that you crushed the workout...and also what's on your favorite playlist is at the moment!

With love,

Losing Weight Without Dieting -- My Bridal Story

Written with love, by Jennifer Dene

Shortly after I got engaged I gained 30 pounds. Pretty bad timing!

I had recently moved to the United States from Sydney, Australia, and had a lot going on in my life that led to this sudden weight gain. While this impacted my self-esteem as a Pilates and fitness trainer, I also felt totally anxious about how I would look and feel on my wedding day (and in my wedding photos).

As the date approached I was desperate to lose weight, so, against my better judgement, I turned to extreme diets and exercise routines. 

Not only did these methods not work, they made me feel miserable and totally detracted from my engagement experience — I mean, you should be able to have a glass of champagne and a chocolate cupcake at your bridal shower without feeling guilty!

Fortunately, after creating my own fitness and nutrition program, I was able to get the bombshell bride results that I desired, without diets and deprivation. 

This week on Mind Body Bride I share three of the techniques I use to live with ease at my ideal weight, as well as a roundup of some of MBB's favorite workouts, recipes and relaxation tips. 

I can't wait to see you there!
