Your Bridal Portrait and Wedding Day Workout

Celebrities have long known the secret of pumping up before hitting the red carpet to give definition to muscles. When you train your muscles, you boost circulation to the targeted body part. This circulatory increase temporarily enlarges the muscle to make it more visible. If you want to enhance the definition of your cleavage, shoulders, and arms for your upcoming photo opportunities, you too can use this strategy. For tips on how to memorialize your image with “celebrity” arms, read on.

Table 16-5 is your targeted pre-bridal portrait and pre-wedding day photos workout. It's quick. It's targeted. It's for one purpose only — to help you look your best in the photos that you'll be looking at for a very long time.
