— -- Every bride wants to look and feel amazing on their special day.

Fitness expert Nikki Kimbrough joined “Good Morning America"'s "Wide World of Weddings" live stream to show our viewers some great high-intensity interval training workouts that will lengthen and define those arms, sculpt your shoulders and back, tighten and lift those glutes, take in your waist and burn pounds.

In addition to providing an outlet to channel the stress of planning your big day and kicking married life off on a healthier and happier foot, you’re developing a consistent fitness routine that gives you a beautiful glow inside and out. You’re going into the next chapter of your life feeling the best version of yourself.

Kimbrough says she always tells her clients it’s all about nutrition, strength training and cardio. She explains everything you need to know about strength and cardio with high-intensity interval training, or HIIT for short. HIIT workouts incorporate intense periods of work with short recovery segments. These workouts help you give maximum intensity while still maintaining great form that will strengthen, lengthen, sculpt and burn fat even after you’ve left the gym.
