PTA now offering Wedding Day Shape-Up 101 classes

Wedding Day Shape-Up 101


If you're altar-bound right now, odds are that as you're playing with your soon-to-be new signature and agonizing over centerpieces, you're also considering what you'll look like to your nearest and dearest as they stare at your backside on your way down the aisle.

Of the 2.3 million American weddings every year, 80 percent of brides and over half the wedding party and family members will take steps to change their eating or excercise habits for the big day, according to the Brides.com 2006 American Wedding Study

Of course losing your love handles isn't going to make you a better bride -- or even a happier one, as anyone who's watched a carb-free wife-to-be lose her mind over place settings at the rehearsal dinner knows. No, getting yourself in shape before your wedding really can be summed up by two words: Super confidence!

Being engaged is an awesome time of relationship transition. You're starting a new life with the person you're mad for and you're about to spend the next couple of months getting used to what the rest of your lives will be like together. If that's not heavy enough, the chaos that comes with planning a wedding can quickly zap your feel-good mojo. Squabbles about seating, dimwit caterers, getting intimately acquainted with your soon-to-be mother-in-law -- both your mind and your body are going to be running on overdrive until you've hugged your last guest goodbye. Our expert PTA staff will help you de-stress and be ready for every moment this wonderful but hectic time offers you!
