3-2-1 Bikinis

3-2-1… and they’re off!  Brides burning calories to look great in their gowns…. and bada bing bada boom in their bikinis on the honeymoon!

15 lovely ladies are feeling a bit sore after the first ever Beach Body Bridal Bootcamp presented by GetFitCharlotte.com and Carolina Wedding Design.  We start with a run around the pond at the beautiful Freedom Park on one of the best weather days of the year yet. The Spring’s green grass, tulips, daffodills, weeping willows, and spouting fountains are sure signs… wedding season is upon us!  As the ladies are panting from their early morning start… a mother of a bride takes the lead and sets the tone… if the young ladies can’t catch her… their egos are shot… way to go Mom… thanks for raising the bar.  Wowza… look who ate her Wheaties this morning!

After a good stretch… we shake our booties to warm up a bit more… Lil Jon’s “KRAZY” and Sean Paul’s, “So Fine” get us groovin… Time to take it up a notch with Turbo Kick (a cross between kickboxing and hip hop dancing).  The brides are looking like they need a little high quality H20… so we take five and chill.  I hand out Shakeology samples and tell them it’s a product I swear by… a great mix of protein, vitamins, minerals… that keeps you trim since it’s low in calories and sugar.  The girls get the most excited about the Shakeology recipes that will let them eat chocolate covered strawberries and peanut butter cups with out the guilt!  Enough fantasizing about the finish… and getting to relax for the holiday weekend… it’s time for sprints ladies!  Whistle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These brides are gonna be lookin even hotter in no time!  Wind sprints, push ups, bicycles, burpees, high knees, squats…. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  Water break…. Pfeewwww.  Only 10 more minutes… A little more booty bouncin to cool us down… Beyonce’s, ‘Sweet Dreams’… and a special TURBO version of ‘Everybody on the Dance Floor.’  A few more prizes are handed out for who can do the most pushups in 60 seconds… and who brought the most bootcampers… Tell em’ what they’ve won Johnny! An elastic exercise resistance band and two Shakeology workout DVD’s. But the best part… everybody leaves with a smile and knowing they did something healthy for their minds and bodies.

I can’t wait for the next one ladies… you’re not tired are you!?!
