What about doing some yoga? That would help you feel relaxed and be less stressful on your body the day of.
Hah, I love this! I enjoy working out and can almost imagine myself trying to squeeze in a workout on the wedding day. It can kind of simultaneously energize and relax you. I would say it totally depends on the schedule of your wedding day, as frustrating an answer as that is! Like, if you have no objection to getting up at 8am and the ceremony isn't until the late afternoon, then maybe you could make it work.
If your options for the morning are to work out or wander around nervously, i'd say work out. But if there is something productive you could be doing that morning, i'd maybe do that :)
I would have loved to do this but my scalp gets really sweaty and my hair would have been so greasy! If you have time for it, then go for it. Just don't wash your hair if you are doing an updo because newly washed hair doesn't hold as well.
I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as you don't plan on doing anything too strenuous that could have you ending up sore or pulling muscles, etc. :)
If you have the time I don't see why not. I would have LOVED to have gotten a workout or a hike in but we had hair and makeup starting at 9:15AM...2 moms, 1 SIL, 3 bridesmaids (2 did their own hair). Our wedding was at 4PM, photographer was coming at noon for getting ready photos prior to the "first look." The day FLEW by, I wish I had more time. I was recently a BM in a friend's wedding (6PM ceremony), and her timeline was similar to yours and she had a massage the morning of so I definitely think there is time for you. ENJOY! A NYE wedding sounds awesome.
I worked out on the day of my wedding; it was wonderful to have some time alone to reflect and it kept me energized all day/night long. I also started getting ready around noon with a 7pm ceremony. It worked perfectly:) If you think it will help vs. stress you out (adding one more thing to do to your day), then I say go for it!
I believe one of the bees ran a 5k the day of her wedding:)
If it relaxes you, go for it! I had a 3:30pm ceremony and I honestly don't know when I would have fit in time for a workout, but if you have the time (7pm ceremony!) why not?
I think that sounds fine! I enjoy working out and it's good stress relief for me. I'm hoping to fit in a walk or jog in the morning with my man of honour too, I think it will be good to get the fresh air and heart rate going a bit before the day gets too hectic. I guess it's possible you'll get to the night before and decide there's too much to do or that you'd rather have a sleep in, in which case you may want to cancel, but unless that means losing money that is totally your choice ot make. Personally I wouldn't book in with a personal trainer bc I'd rather do my own thing and have the time to myself and not worry if I'm running 10 minutes late, but it sounds like that's the way you're used to doing things, so hopefully it will work out for you!
My ceremony started at 6pm but we started getting ready at 8am. If we'd been able to push it back til 10am, i would've at least done 30 min of cardio or some pilates. But i was up SO LATE the night before, after the dinner (which ended around 930, 10pm) pulling last minute things together that I didn't get to bed til maybe 1230am!
Not crazy at all! I did some yoga and some light aerobics the morning of my wedding, it really did help get some of the nerves out. My matron of honor went for a long run for the same reason.
Not only do I think it's a good idea, it is an absolute MUST for me! I will be going for a 30-40 minute run the day of my wedding, no matter what...For me, working out is a stress reliever and a way to organize my thoughts for the day...Go for it, you have plenty of time and it will give you that extra bridal glow!
I would! As an athlete we never had a day off, even if a tourney or game was that day we would do a light workout.
I wouldn't do anything too tiring or extreme but I think it's a great idea.
I think it's a great idea, actually. Just don't exert yourself too much. I went for a run with my BM on the morning of my wedding and it was nice to get outside and relax a little. I work out everyday, so it feels weird if I don't do it.
I'm definately going for a 1.5 hour bike ride the morning of our wedding. From the times I've been a bridesmaid, I remember that the brides always had a hard time sleeping the night before. They both woke up at like 5am and were wide awake. I plan on taking a tylenol PM the night before to help me sleep, but I'll set my alarm for 7am and go bike it out. It'll help with stress, help me get some time to myself, and help me feel fabulous in my dress.
And my parents lake place is along an awesome rails to trails bike path. I love riding on it in the mornings at the lake. And I can't wait for the first photo of the day to be me getting back from a bike ride and jumping in the lake with my gear on!
I would do it if I were you! I don't have time to have a work out, but one of my BM's is a licensed massage therapist, so I am getting a massage the day of. Can't wait for that!
I think it sounds like a great idea! I'll probably want to do the same. And I think you'll be wide away early enough to fit it in, it will be so much more relaxing. Let us know if you end up doing it, so I can try to plan the same... in 6 months :0)
I plan on doing something ni the am, whether it's just a walk or some yoga. I will be up by 8am and my ceremony starts at 5:30pm.
I couldn't sleep more than 4 hours a night the whole week of the wedding, due to nerves. I didn't exercise not because I didn't want to, but because I simply didn't have time! (too busy running around sorting out last minute wedding details.) Like the others, I say if it relaxes you and you have time to do it then why not?
I think it's a great idea! It'l calm you down by getting rid of nervous energy, and make you all glowy!
I think it's a great idea and if you have the time then definitely do it! I am 1.5 years away but I plan to take my doggy for a walk or run, can't neglect the poor guy just because I'm getting married!! :)
I plan on doing a yoga or light toning session the morning of my wedding. Just so I feel relaxed and energized.
I would have if my wedding wasn't in the afternoon. And my husband did (since he dind't have to do much to get ready). The one thing though I would make sure of is not to push myself too much. You don't want to feel tired or sore the day of your wedding. We danced so much at our wedding and I'm glad I had the energy to do it.
my sister in law woke up at 7 am to run on the beach before her wedding, and my friend did a yoga session on the beach. i thought they were crazy, but they both loved it.
I seriously wouldn't do that if I were you. The day of my wedding was super-tiring as it was. I was so exhausted at the end of the evening, I can't imagine how I would have felt if I had worked out.
Maybe an easy walk would be ok, but nothing too intense!
I practice yoga everyday so I will definitely plan on doing that before the wedding! probably would lose my mind if i didnt!
I definitely would have if my wedding ceremony started when yours did! Mine started at 1:30 though, so it wasn't possible for me. I think it's a great way to relieve stress and shake some nerves. Don't overdo it, but definitely go if it will help relax you!
yeah of course!!! i'm totally going to work out the morning of the wedding... even though the ceremony will start at 3, so i'll be waking up pretty early :)
I'm going to plan on some sort of workout (maybe Pilates to help keep those abs in and make my posture better for the photos), but if I decide to sleep in instead, I'm not going to beat myself up over it.
OH boy, I wish I was as motivated as you to work out. LOL
I would have done it!!!! I was full of energy in the morning and did a power walk - had I had the right clothes/shoes, I would've done a workout!
I did a light work out on wedding day. A little yoga and a little jog... and then it was off to hair and makeup. That day goes fast! Squeeze everything you can out of it :)
Honey my ceremony wasn't until 7 pm and I was so busy, there was no way could have fit a workout in there. but if you can manage it, go for it!
The only possible downside I can see to this is if you will have to was your hair after. If you're wearing your hair up, being to clean can be an issue.
I dont think you are crazy, you sound hyper organised. The idea of it NEVER crossed my mind

To all the Bees who are now "Mrs." - I am just wondering how crazy things get the day of the wedding. I have scheduled makeup and hair for me and my bridesmaids (only two total) starting at 12:30 pm. Ceremony is not until 7pm.
I was thinking it would be good to get the nerves out by having a personal training session at the gym at 8am - is this crazy? My personal trainer gave me a weird look when I asked but agreed to train me that day.
Will I have time or am I being too optimistic? Would love to hear your thoughts!
