INTRODUCTION
BY
LARA JOY KRNER
I met Michael on a cold, sunny day in February. The first snowdrops brought with them the promise of spring, and I imagined myself peeling off my thick sweater soon to reveal a slender, strong, energetic body.
I wasnt overweight nor was I entirely unathletic (I had done yoga before), but on a feel-good scale from one to ten with ten being the best, I was a consistent six to seven. I wanted to feel lighter, stronger, and more vigorous, and I wanted to be able to do a freestanding handstand because I had always considered that an expression of freedom and the joy of living. But I also didnt want to get too big; I wanted muscle definition, but not a six-pack.
Michael prescribed eight exercises to be alternated in regular intervals to create a new training stimulus for each workout session. I did these exercises at home every other day. At first, it took me 45 minutes to do the entire workout. After a few weeks, it only took me 22 minutes to do the same number of exercises, so even though the time expenditure was negligible, the training effect was enormous.
By April I already felt great! I had lost weight and could easily carry my heavy grocery bags up the stairs, and multiple women had asked what I did to get such nice upper arms. Isnt that everybodys dream? At the beginning of Maytwo and a half months latermy feel-good rating was off the charts. The handstand was still a bit shaky, but perfection is overrated.
In a very short amount of time and without great effort, Michaels exercises helped me create an attractive back, nicely defined arms, more endurance, a solid stance, and, because I was so proud of myself, a radiant demeanor.
That is how I want you to feel on your wedding day!
Enjoy creating your personal dream figure.

1Preface
Thank you for choosing The Perfect Wedding Workout! I am delighted to accompany you on your path to your perfect wedding figure for the happiest day of your life.
This workout is based on my experience as a personal trainer. The Perfect Wedding Workout is designed to meet the specific requirements for an optimal wedding-day figure to help you achieve the best possible results within a short period of time.
1.1ABOUT ME
I have been working as a personal trainer on the international level for ten years. I work primarily in Los Angeles, New York, Munich, and Berlin. I frequently train models and actors to get them physically fit for various projects, but I mostly work with women who are weeks away from their wedding and want to feel great on their big day.
I have also worked in the area of therapeutic and health-focused strength training and have experience in performance sports. I have therefore acquainted myself with all areas of professional fitness training and have depth of experience.
1.2HOW THE PERFECT WEDDING WORKOUT WAS CREATED
My clients are primarily women who are just a few weeks away from their wedding and hire me to work intensively on their wedding figure. Over the course of the past ten years, I have developed a program that will help women achieve their personal dream figure in ten weeks. I have summarized this content for you in The Perfect Wedding Workout.
