Main | Training | Nutrition | Supplementation

Yes, you can get slim and trim for your wedding, but you can also sculpt some sexy muscles that enhance the the cut of your dress. We have the workout programs that will help you do it!

The workouts listed below are organized by goal. Select the workout program that most closely matches yours. If you want more emphasis on your shoulders and back for that low-cut, open-back number, try the upper-body split. If, on the other hand, you want your booty to pop in your mermaid gown, or you have a short dress in mind, try the lower-body split.

Each day, choose one of the workouts in the listed articles. You can repeat that workout each week or rotate in the other workout options. Follow the program the best you can. If you're short on time or don't have the exact equipment, feel free to make alterations where necessary.
