Fitness & Films #19- Wedding Movies Workout


So, since I am getting married soon, weddings are almost constantly on my mind. Between my two ceremonies, being a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding, and two other friend's weddings coming up this year, nuptials are everywhere. 

Of course, like any bride, I want to look absolutly stunning in my wedding dress. So, what better way to get in shape than to do it while watching a film and getting wedding ideas?


There are tons of wedding movies out there- comedy, drama, horror, etc. I planned this workout so that it could be done for any type of wedding film, as long as they use the typical wedding jargon and cliches. 

Some possible movies this workout can be done to:
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Father of the Bride
My Best Friend's Wedding
27 Dresses
The Wedding Date
Check here for more film ideas.

Wedding Workout 





1. Someone says "bride" or "groom": 1 burpee (for each)
2. Someone says "bridezilla": 25 sit ups
3. Couple's first kiss: 50 crunches
4. Couples first dance: 20 squats
5. Wedding speech: 20 pushups
6. Crazy family member does something: 30 second plank
7. Priest says "If anyone can think of any reason this couple should not be married": Wall sit until the wait is over, 25 jumping jacks if no one interrupts or 50 jumping jacks if someone does
8. Anything related to dress and/or dress fittings- bride or bridesmaids: 20 tricep dips (per dress or per scene, your choice)
9. Anything related to bachelor parties and/or strippers: 10 candlesticks
10. Arguement related to wedding planning and/or future life together: 20 v-sits

As always, it is your choice as to how you use this with the film you are watching. Some will coincide and you will have to pick one exercise, or do one after the other. Enjoy it!
