’Bridal Boot Camp'. Yes there is such a thing. Conceptually it's been going on without a formal title for decades. It's when a woman says 'yes' then hustles to fit in the dress. LOL

Half kidding here. Women know this drill. Important occasions like weddings for example, for the average woman, typically require some 'lead time' self care investment in order to show up at your best. Exercise, better eating habits, etc. 

And we're not just talking Brides here if a wedding is involved. Everybody involved tries to get in better shape for the big day!  Don't even get me started with how serious a game this is for the MOBs (Mothers Of The Brides) LOL. Then there's the Mother of The Groom (or of the other Bride), the  Grandmas, Sisters, Aunts, and Friends... especially those IN the wedding party.  

So how much lead time does a woman need to get in shape for her big day? The answer is revealed in this podcast conversation with wweet smart and fit Vanessa Laise, the new 'Fitness Manager' at my favorite women's gym Healthy Fit For Women in Mamroneck NY.

Vaneesa joined me to talk 'Bridal Boot Camp' and more.
