When Should You Start Getting in Shape for Your Wedding?
Hey there, beautiful brides! Stay tuned until the end of this blog for a special surprise that will make your fitness journey even more exciting!
Planning a wedding is such an exciting time, but it can also be a bit overwhelming, right? With all the time it takes, it's best to start thinking about when to start working with a fitness coach before your wedding. When would be the perfect time to begin this fitness journey to prepare for your special day?
The Ideal Timeline
The best time to start working with a fitness coach before your big day really depends on your personal fitness goals and what you need. However, in general, it's a good idea to start at least six months before. This will give you enough time to make real progress and establish healthy habits that will last far beyond your wedding day.
Here are some great reasons why focusing on a six-month time frame for your fitness goals can be super helpful:
Sustainable Progress: Six months gives you enough time to see positive changes in your body. Whether you want to get toned, shed some weight, or build muscle, six months allows you to progress smoothly and sustainably.
Habit Formation: It takes about 66 days to form a new habit. By giving yourself a six-month head start, you can take your time to incorporate healthy habits into your daily routine, making sure they become a natural part of your lifestyle.
Reduced Stress: Planning a wedding can be crazy stressful, so starting early with your fitness goals can help take some pressure off. You'll be able to approach your fitness journey with a more relaxed and positive mindset because you have plenty of time.
Start Even Earlier
If you have a lot of weight to lose or are new to exercise, working with a fitness coach even earlier might be a good idea. For instance, if your wedding is more than 12 months away, consider starting 9-12 months in advance. Here's why:
More time to lose weight: Losing a significant amount of weight takes time. Starting a year in advance gives you a realistic and healthy timeline to reach your weight loss goals without resorting to extreme measures.
Building a solid fitness base: If you're new to exercise, the extra time allows you to build a fitness foundation gradually. You can start with basic exercises and slowly increase intensity as your fitness level improves.
Extra time for life's surprises: Life can be unpredictable. Starting early provides a buffer for any setbacks, such as illnesses or unexpected events, ensuring you stay on track to meet your goals.
A fitness coach can help you design a personalized workout plan that fits your goals, schedule, and fitness level. Here are a few benefits of working with a fitness coach:
Accountability: Regular sessions with a coach keep you accountable and motivated.
Expert Guidance: A coach can ensure you’re performing exercises correctly and efficiently, reducing the risk of injury.
Customized Plan: Your coach will tailor your fitness plan to your specific needs, whether it’s weight loss, muscle building, or overall fitness.
