Workout Ideas That Won't Interfere With Your Event Budget

All brides want to look and feel their best for their big day.

As they go about their wedding planning and booking their vendors, they also think about how they can get themselves into shape so that they love how they look and feel in their wedding gown.

Sometimes brides are discouraged from sticking to an exercise routine because of the cost. So much money is spent on the venue, caterer, photographer, florist, invitations and wedding gown that extra money is not always readily available.

Fear not -- exercise need not be expensive!

There are lots of options when it comes to finding the right exercise routine for you while staying on a wedding budget.

Outdoor Running: All you need is a good pair of sneakers on your feet and you are off! Running outdoors is an awesome full body workout that is totally free. The best part of running is that it not only provides you with a workout for your muscles but for your mind too.

If you aren't up for running, walking is a great option too! Just thirty minutes a day can help to get the blood flowing, muscles working and provide enough of an endorphin boost to set your mood in a positive direction.

Groupon Fitness Deals: Throughout the year, many fitness studios and athletic clubs offer discounts and deals through Groupon and other discount sites. By doing a simple search within your area, you will be able to locate the current fitness deals and sign up to begin exercising for a fraction of the typical cost.

Wedding Deals: Most fitness clubs also offer "bridal" discounts. Check out the club's website to locate their deals. If you cannot find one listed, definitely call the club or studio and let them know your situation. Sometimes they do not advertise the deal but do offer one that will meet your needs!

Free Trials: Almost all fitness clubs offer a free trial guest pass. Take advantage of this and give a new gym a try! This will help you narrow down what you are looking for in a fitness routine and best apply your funds in the right places.

At-Home Workouts: You don't even need to leave the house to get your sweat on! Check out our "Get In Shape" board on pinterest for lots of workouts you can do at home, on your own time, for free.
