Bride Blogger Update: Bridal Boot Camp
Every bride wants to feel and look her best for the big day and today Marybeth has a few wise tips on how to get into gear!

With my first dress fitting a month away I have entered what my coworkers have termed “bridal boot camp.” I am guessing my regimen is similar to many brides; I have given up all the extra calories by cutting out soda, limiting alcohol and kicking up the workouts.
If I were still in the D.C. area this boot camp would include extra trips to Gold’s Gym and a few classes at Down Dog Yoga. But here in San Diego the regular work out routine is anything but. Traditional gyms are few and far between because with gorgeous weather year round and the beach near by who wants to spend hours in a smelly gym sweating it out?
Hiking, outdoor boot camps, running and biking are the way of life here. I remember DC winters and know that in February outdoor activities are limited. But D.C. ladies, I am happy to share that a few of my favorite San Diego workouts are headed east!
Core Power Yoga is the place to practice your down dog and warrior poses and in a few months they will be opening studios in Bethesda and D.C. Core Power Yoga mixes it up with classes set to up-beat music and offering yoga sculpt – heated yoga with weights.
Barre Pilates is also huge on the west coast. My preferred studio Pure Barre doesn’t have east coast plans just yet, but you can get a taste at Barre 3 at the new studio in Georgetown. And for those of you farther north in Baltimore my bridesmaid and future sister-in-law, Brittany, teaches barre-based classes at Bel Air Athletic Club.
For the Pilates reformer addicts out there, SPX Pilates is also making its way to the east coast. No studios are set to open yet, but when they do be the first in line. SPX takes reformer Pilates to the next level with a quicker-paced 40-minute class that gets your heart racing and muscles shaking. Some classes last 60 minutes and combine 30 minutes of spin with 30 minutes of Pilates. With all these new options I will be ready to strut down the aisle in no time!
