Buddy Up For Fat-Burning, Muscle-Sculpting Success

As a bride-to-be, you want to look better-than-ever in your wedding day photos. And along with that goal comes the goal to drop a few pounds before your big day. But did you know that all you have to do to lose twice as much weight as you normally would is to grab a buddy?

As you'll read in WeddingShape Diet and Fitness Guide for Brides, studies have found that those folks who have a successful partner in weight loss dropped twice as many pounds after one year versus those folks who dieted solo.

Another buddy bonus? The support doesn’t have to be face-to-face. You can find someone online, across your neighborhood or in an entirely different state as a weight loss buddy.

But, if you're lucky enough to have a pal who lives close-by ask them to not only be your partner in watching your weight, but to also join you in the gym.

At PEAK Strength & Conditioning CLUB, we have lots of one-on-one clients who work solo with their training. But we also have clients who are brides-to-be just like you have bring a bridesmaid, their mom or their fiance along as a training partner. (They want to look good in those happily-ever-after photos, too!)

I'm a big believer that you've got to be committed to your fitness and nutrition program. What's more commitment-inducing than having to answer to a friend or family member when you feel like bailing on a workout? By joining forces, you'll be less likely to skip out on your buddy and your gym time.

So, make it a bridesmaid duty, ask your mom or tell your future hubby you want them to look great too. Together, you'll be all set for some serious fat-busting and muscle-toning success.

Yours in health,

Joe
