Article: Getting at least 150 minutes of aerobic exercise — that is, any activity that raises your heart rate and can be continued for at least 10 minutes — will help relieve the stress of hectic wedding planning and elevate your mood.  It will also help you address any endurance-related fitness goals you have, as well as reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes.  Joining a gym can be a good option, as it will offer an array of aerobics classes and workout machines for a varied workout routine that won’t bore you. If you can’t afford a gym membership or you dislike the atmosphere, there are many alternative ways to get your daily dose of aerobic activity, such as jogging, brisk walking, cycling, or hiking. If you’re wanting to tone up before your walk down the aisle, make sure you do resistance-based exercises in addition to aerobic exercise.  Medicine balls, resistance bands, weight machines, and no-equipment-necessary exercises such as pushups and situps are all great ways to strengthen your muscles and lose noticeable inches before the big day. Even if you want to target your arms in particular, for example, don’t ignore your other muscle groups entirely.   Do at least some repetitions which address the core and legs as well. You’re probably seeing a lot of people and keeping a lot of appointments in the countdown to your wedding day, so it can seem like you don’t have much time to work out.  Remember, though, that social and exercise time don’t have to be mutually exclusive!  While you probably can’t consult your tailor while jogging or doing crunches, you can catch up with friends while taking a light jog or hiking together. If you’re making a lot of wedding arrangements over the phone, you can also do this while briskly walking around the neighborhood or on a treadmill in your home (but remember that talking on a cell phone at the gym is a major no-no). As your wedding day approaches, you may find you have less and less free time. It is important to try and keep your exercise routine intact, even when your time is pressured. Exercise can reduce stress by releasing endorphins, improving your mood, and even serving as a form of meditation. Any form of exercise, even if it's just getting out of the house and taking a walk around the neighborhood, can help reduce stress. Try to schedule time for exercise into your day between appointments or when you find you have some down time. Make exercise a priority. On the one hand, a sedentary lifestyle has been linked to increased risks of cancer, diabetes, and obesity. On the other hand, watching your favorite television show or playing a video game can help you unwind after a long day of appointments with the florist and caterer.  Ultimately, then, you shouldn’t try to cut out these activities entirely.  Just be sure to limit your daily doses of these sedentary activities in order to stay as active as possible in the days leading up to your wedding.  For example, give yourself an hour after work to watch television or an hour before bed to surf the internet.  Set a timer to make sure you don't lose track of time. If you have a treadmill at home or you know enough yoga moves to do them alone, try engaging in these physical activities while watching your favorite shows.

What is a summary?
Engage in regular aerobic activity. Do strength-training twice a week. Combine social and physical activities. Make time for exercise. Spend less time doing sedentary activities.
