Every bride wants to look their very best on their wedding day. Most of the time, that means we want to try and lose a few pounds or tone up before the big day. Here are a few tips on getting started on a quick shape-up plan.

1. Make a plan. Wanna-bes stay wanna-bes without a written plan that's simple and realistic. Going public also may help.

2. Start with small changes. If you've been inactive, find simple ways to get moving. Always take the stairs. Instead of a coffee break, take a short walk. Gradually increase your activity until you can exercise for 30 minutes a day.

3. Mix up your routine. Exercise can get boring if there's no variety. Try walking, running, aerobics, swimming, etc.--whatever interests you.

4. Pick a partner. This lets you share the joy of accomplishing goals, plus you can pick each other up when one of you starts dragging.

5. Reward your achievements -- even the small ones. Select a meaningful way to celebrate the big and small accomplishments, especially as you first begin exercising.
