After just 12 weeks of training for the most important day of her life, Jamie Tajan's commitment and dedication paid off. This June, Tajan's closest friends and family saw her walk down the aisle with her new, sleek toned body. When asked what her "shape up secret" was, Jamie wasn't bashful in explaining that she owed it all to the Bridal Bootcamp Challenge - sponsored by Gold's Gym.

 

On the first day of her 60 day training session, Tajan weighed 120 pounds and measured 29.2% body fat.  By her wedding day, she weighed in at 103 pounds and measured 17% body fat! Her outstanding results and commitment to the easy to follow exercise training program resulted in her being named the winner of the Bridal Bootcamp Challenge. As her reward, she will receive a one-week, all-expenses-paid honeymoon to the Dominican Republic!

 

Cynthia Conde, creator of the 12-week Bridal Bootcamp Challenge, helped almost 10,000 future brides get in the best shape of their lives for biggest day of their lives. "It was amazing how many women expressed a desire not only to be healthy and fit for their wedding day, but to learn a healthy lifestyle change for the rest of their lives," said Cynthia Conde.  The Challenge was a 12-week program that included: military drills, ploymetrics, strength and balance training exercises, boxing, jumping rope, sprints and abdominal ball exercises.

 

INSIDE TIPS: Throughout the Bridal Bootcamp Challenge, Conde advised the participants to refrain from eating anything containing white flour, processed foods, sugar, regular soda and other beverages containing sugar.  She also recommended that they remind themselves daily of their fitness goals and to have a food plan before they leave home.  To reward the future brides of their hard work, Conde stressed the importance of having a "cheat" meal once a week.
