Trying to figure out the best way to get fit before your wedding, but not exactly sure where to start? Look no further, because Doug Rice (creator of Bridalicious Boot Camp) is here to help. For the next 30 days, Doug will be hosting a get-fit challenge within our community on his very own, (and new!) board. The Bridalicious 30-Day Get-Fit Challenge board will be a place where you can get support from other brides, as well as expert advice from Doug.

Need nutrition and diet advice? We have that covered, too. Doug will be bringing in a nutrition expert to help answer all your diet questions to help jump-start your wedding shape-up program. Plus, you will have a chance to win prizes including fitness gear and the popular Bridalicious Boot Camp by The Knot DVD set. The challenge starts today, September 17th, so make sure to join us!

Loving our #FitnessFriday chats with Bridalicious fitness expert Doug Rice? Yeah, we thought so. We’re taking it one step further and hosting a Google Hangout, where you’ll be able to get a chance to chat face-to-face with Doug, real brides and other Knotties about your fitness goals and questions.

The hangout is happening this Tuesday, August 7th at 12pm EST! We’re choosing seven lucky brides to join the hangout and will be giving everyone who participates a Bridalicious fitness DVD and a copy of the latest issue of The Knot magazine.

Interested in participating in a Google Hangout with The Knot? Email messageboards@theknot.com explaining why you want to join, along with three burning fitness questions you’d like Doug to answer!
