Q: Help! I need a quick workout that’ll tone me up in time for my wedding next month.
A: This high-intensity workout comes from fitness-DVD maven Jari Love, a Calgary, Alberta–based personal trainer and exercise expert for over 20 years.
Love created this low-weight, high-rep routine from her Ripped DVD series. After each move, do 1 minute of jumping jacks or running in place to keep your heart rate up and maximize calorie burn (increase to 2 minutes as you get stronger). Do this 15- to 20- minute workout once or twice a week, and you’ll make it to the alter in fine form.
Trainer tip (for all three moves): If you have back or knee problems, stick with 3-pound weights and don’t lower yourself fully into the squats or lunges. Also, be sure to keep your abs tight.

Wedding Shape Body-Sculpting Workout
Do these 3 sneaky moves right now to shape, tone, and tighten so you sizzle when it’s time to say “I do.”
A)Bodyweight squat (3 sets x 15 reps)
B)Pushup (3 sets x 10 reps)
C)Prone plank (3 sets x 1 minute)
Perform the moves as a circuit. In other words, do A, B, and C without a break. Rest for 45 seconds between circuits.
Get in Wedding Shape!
