Wedding Dress Workout

[CollinsMom]

Hey ladies, I posted this to Cathe this morning, right before she left for Texas -- oops! I thought I would post it here too, because I am sure that you all have some ideas for me.

By the way, I posted last week about my wedding dress "dilemma" and I promised you all an update, so here it is... I called David's, they agreed to exchange my dress, so I went Sunday to try on some more dresses. I ended up trying on about 15 more dresses, and in the end, know which one I loved the most? THE ONE I ALREADY HAVE!! So I didn't exchange my dress, and I feel 110% confident that it is MY DREAM DRESS. I guess that is what it took for me to know...

Anyway, on to the question... Any ideas?

Cathe,

In four months and three days, I will marry the man of my dreams. I have the perfect dress, the perfect setting (the beaches of the Outer Banks), etc. Of course, I want to look perfect in my dress.

I have been workout out with you for almost a year now, and I have lost about 15 pounds (of fat, I would assume) and gained plenty of muscle. I look fabulous, thanks to you.

What I am concerned about most now is having my upper body look especially buff and muscular in my strapless gown. I am finishing up a one month rotation with Gym Styles (which I love). I also have the Four Day Split and plenty of circuit workouts.

What would you recommend that I do for the next four months to really lean out and get that cut look in my upper body? I do not currently own Slow & Heavy or the Pyramids, but I will buy whatever you tell me to -- I trust you!

Thanks in advance, and thanks for helping me getting my body this far!!

Katie, I don't have any advice sorry! But maybe you could post this over in the rotations forum and get some expert answers. HTH!

Do you have the Gym Styles? I think they would be good for getting that upperbody into shape. Congratulations on your wedding btw!

This is from 05, but Cathe did an Upper Body Bliss rotation. You might try that and see how you like it. It's from a couple years ago, so you could sub some newer workouts for older things you don't have.

And, congratulations on your wedding!

Katie,

I haven't done any of them, but you might want to try one of the Tank Top rotations. Just do an advanced search for "Tank Top" in the "Video & DVD Rotation" forum. There are quite a few!

Good luck!!!

I'm not sure you need tons more workouts - I think pushups do a great job in "buffing" your upper body.

Maybe incorporate more of those into your weight lifting routines. I haven't been lifting really heavy, but the pushups I have done increased my muscular look.

I absolutely agree that pushups are the way to go. I'm always amused by these "tank top" rotations - believe me, I've tried 'em - but I've found through personal experience that pushups work better than anything else for upper body definition. I just got the Perfect Pushs handles recently, and found that if you use these you have to do fewer pushups to get results. Ditch the weights - do pushups!
