Many little girls have dreams of the perfect wedding dress. Once you finally find the dress you’ve always dreamed of, you’ll need to make sure it flatters you in all the right places. The type of dress you choose determines the parts of your body that will stand out on your big day. You can alter the dress to boast your favorite body features, but the rest is up to diet and exercise. If you’re interested in shaping up for a more flattering silhouette in your gown, here are a few ways to do just that.
Strapless Dress
The strapless dress draws attention to the top part of your body. Your shoulders, chest, arms, and top of your back are bare, making it the perfect time to tone up. It’s time to focus on biceps, triceps, shoulders, and back muscles. To focus on the shoulders, you should do vertical weight raises and side arm lifts. An easy exercise is with a 5 pound dumbbell. Lift dumbbells up until arms are at full extension. Go from full extension to a 90 degree angle at your elbows. Repeat this three times with 10 reps each time.
An easy way to target tricep muscles is a bench dip with elbows at a 90 degree angle. Do not let your bottom hit the ground, but dip three times at 10 reps each.
Targeting the back with a lat row is the best way to go. If you have a place to row a boat, great, but if not, post yourself up at a machine that makes your back do all of the work.
If you just want to target all the muscles at once, go for the old fashioned push up....
