3 Months To The Big Day? Follow This Expert-Approved Fitness Routine
Celebrity fitness coach Yogesh Bhateja details a fitness plan for brides who want to streamline their regimes in the run-up to their wedding…
The run-up to the wedding day can be stressful for a number of reasons. Aside from a mountain of logistics to tackle, there’s also the last-minute panic to ensure you look your best in your wedding finery. Many brides resort to crash diets and unrealistic fitness regimes during this time to magically get the kind of look they aspire for. Needless to say, this is a big mistake. “Brides tend to do too much too quickly, engaging in crash dieting, and pushing themselves too hard in workouts, which can lead to soreness and injuries,” says celebrity fitness coach Yogesh Bhateja.
The fitness coach who has worked with celebrities like Tamannaah Bhatia and Sonu Sood claims that making a few key changes to your lifestyle is all you need to look your best on D-day. “For brides looking to get fitter before their wedding, it's essential to start with basic stretches and walking rather than rushing into intense workouts. Avoid drastically cutting calories right from the start since you will already be burning more calories through increased activity. Instead, focus on modifying your diet by eliminating sugar and red meat, incorporating vegetables into every meal, drinking at least 3 litres of water daily, and avoiding carbs at night.”
We got the fitness expert to share a streamlined routine that brides can follow even three months before the wedding to get fitter and healthier. Take a look…
