Muscle-building exercises can be practiced at home, and by making small adjustments to your diet, you can feel more energetic in the weeks leading up to your big day. Though you may feel exhausted after a tough workout, staying active actually improves your mood and helps you feel rejuvenated in time for the celebration.
