April means flowers and wedding showers, and for many newly engaged brides, it's time to start thinking about how to get in shape for the big day. Many women take a boot camp approach, using a focused fitness plan to stay on course. Thankfully, there are boot camps for every budget; here are three options to help you along.
- Bridal retreats. Live in Fitness recently began offering a multiweek Bridal Retreat program, where women stay in a one-bedroom suite in Southern California and train from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. with breaks for healthy meals. Not surprisingly, it'll cost you around $8,000 for two weeks.
- Online programs: From Cynthia Conde's Bridal Bootcamp, which helps you create customized fitness and eating plans, to simple, downloadable regimens like Shape's Total Body Wedding Workout, there are oodles of online resources designed just for brides.
- Wedding DVDs: If you prefer to work it at home, pick out a bridal-specific video, such as The Wedding Workout from Women's Health or this Wedding Boot Camp DVD.

I'm getting married in 11 days! But honestly, not much can be done at this point.
1OMG I'm getting married in 11 days too Lilavati!!!!!!! . .
I guess we are both getting married Sat April 18th! I hope you have a beautiful wedding.
This is too funny because I was also going to say 11 days til my wedding and that it's too late for me too, (well I'm a runner so I didn't need to do a special pre-wedidng workout anyway) but good luck to the other future brides!
2I actually used the ab exercises in Cynthia Conde's Bridal Bootcamp book which gave me the nicest abs I'd ever had. Now, they are back to being undefined and flabby so I have started doing her abs routine again.
