Wedding Special

There's nothing like a wedding to focus the mind on the tummy and the bingo wings. Here are a few quick tips from the club for healthy preparations for the big day.

1. To help define your waist, the stomach vacuum is a 10 second exercise you can do while you wait for the kettle to boil. The waist twist is also quick and easy, both are in the FTC 10 Minute Toning.
2. For toned arms and shoulders try these three simple exercises... (or take up tae bo fitness, all that punching works wonders both physically and mentally!).
3. Feed your skin from the inside with water, avocados, berries, grapefruit, carrots and oats.
4. To be a bloat free bride take a probiotic supplement, drink dandelion, nettle or green teas, cook with bloat-busting spices cinnamon, cardamom and cumin and digesting boosting lemon.
5. Take the stress out of the build up with calming foods like celery, lettuce and chamomile tea. Sit quietly for a few minutes each day, breathing gently but deeply from your tummy and letting your thoughts and worries slow down.
6. Can certain foods really make you feel more sexy? Apparently berries, oats, garlic and asparagus may all give you a little boost.
7. You can look and even feel slimmer in an instant with the right posture, imagine a balloon attached to your head with a piece of string gently lengthening your spine. Keep your shoulders down and remember to breathe. And a little tip is that whenever you want to stand up think first, 'I'm going to stand up now', and just effortlessly rise up rather than heaving yourself.
8. Steer clear of these foods that have a tendency to cause break outs like milk chocolate and refined sugar (which also tends to go straight to your tummy), caffeine and processed foods.
9. A flaxseed oil supplement will help keep your hair lovely and glossy.
10. Magic pants.
