Getting yourself into tip top shape ahead of your wedding day can be a daunting task but it needn’t add unnecessary stress to your already busy life. We’ve enlisted the help of three of the region’s top trainers to share their advice on getting aisle ready.

When to start depends on your personal fitness levels, time and desired results. “Frequency is key for anyone and any programme,” says Devinder Bains, the co-founder of Fit Squad DXB. “But it really depends on whether you’re a beginner or have already been training prior to your wedding programme. As a rule of thumb, 12 weeks is a good amount of time to get plenty done without too much pressure.” Estie Brits, a trainer at F45 Training Dubai Marina, agrees, saying: “The more time you’ve got on your hands the less stress of making sure all is attained before the wedding day.” As for the frequency? “If you have an ‘on/off’ training routine that never lasts very long, it would be best to start with twice a week and slowly build up to three days, and later four to five,” says Estie, adding that sustainability is important. “One thing you should keep in mind when you want to lose weight is starting early to avoid burnout. Don’t try to lose a lot all at once, rather make a plan and work gradually towards your aim.” If you’re reading this and are already under the 12-week timeframe, fear not says Devinder. “Goals can always be hit quicker if needed with the right trainer and a great nutrition plan.”
