Prosenjit Biswas, Fitness Manager, SKULPT has four easy and amazing pre-wedding workout plans for the brides and grooms to look perfect on their wedding day. Start them just four weeks before your D-day, and lo, you are ready for the biggest day of your life.

Get Set Go

Start with some form of dynamic stretches, which basically helps increase synovial fluid (jelly-like substance between the joints, that acts as a shock absorber) and prepares the body for the workout.

Set 1:

In the first week, start with 20-30 minutes cardio training followed by some basic abdominal exercises. Following that, start with basic strength training exercises using body weight as resistance, such as:

  • Squats / Split Squats
  • Push Ups / Modified Push Ups
  • Inverted Row / Pull Down
  • Tricep Dips
  • Plank

Note: Do two sets each with 10-12 repetitions. Pause for 45 seconds – one minute between the sets. Alternate between strength training one day and cardio workout the next day.
