Engage in Exercise
Compound exercises use more than one muscle group at time. For those brides-to-be looking to tone their arms and back for a strapless gown, this is an excellent exercise - and it's just as good for the grooms. Using resistance bands, pull the band far apart between you to achieve an adequate amount of tension. The person holding the handles should start with a squat, pulling the bands toward you. Once you come out of the squat, end with a "back row," pulling your arms back, elbows bent and close to the body. Make sure to squeeze through the shoulders. Release and repeat the combination. Make sure to switch with your partner. This exercise will work the back, biceps and triceps.
The plank - otherwise known as the "bye-bye belly" - is an excellent way to trim your waistline. The plank targets the core. Face each other and lower down into plank position: forearms on the floor, legs fully extended, toes on the floor, heels positioned as if they were pressing up against a wall behind you; make sure you are parallel to the floor and keep your butt down, your hips straight and your abs tight. To make this exercise more advanced, give each other high fives with opposite hands (as if you were playing patty-cake).
