You can get fit and look great in your wedding gown while saving serious cash. How? Just walk! 
Getting fit to look great in your white gown is a natural priority—think about all those photos that are being taken! But now you can get fit while saving that extra cash for, perhaps, a little something blue? The solution: GET WALKING! All you need is a decent pair of walking shoes and a pedometer (for as low as $10) to record the steps you take in the course of your ordinary activities. Then, up that number until you're burning significant calories. For example, if you find that you take under 5000 steps a day, your lifestyle is probably too sedentary to help with weight loss. Your goal should be to add a half hour of walking, the equivalent of 2000-3000 more steps a day. Here are the Budget Guru's top tips for getting extra exercise:
- During work days, walk to lunch destinations whenever possible.
- Whenever you can, take the stairs, not the elevator.
- Seek parking spots as far from destinations as you can.
- Get your fiance/friends/bridesmaids to join you for walk-a-thons in a park near you. Make it fun!
