LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) --  It used to be that getting ready to walk down the aisle meant finding the perfect dress, the best hair stylist, and the right makeup. But today's brides and their bridesmaids have added another "must do" before the "I dos." Getting in the best shape of their lives!

All eyes on her, photographs that last a lifetime and a deeply felt desire to look her best contribute to creating a motivated fitness mindset. Fitness expert, Carlos Rivas, shows us the 4 exercises to help the bride-to-be get in the best shape of her life. 

Most brides want toned arms, abs, glutes, and legs. We focus on exercises that will give the bride great looking posture. Teaching a bride about posture and breathing will help her carry her strong body through the event with more ease and confidence. She'll appreciate having the skills needed to stand tall throughout her big day and find mindfulness amongst all the excitement.
