For the short, sexy dress:

• TRY THIS: Ballet First Position/Plié: Whether you’re going short for your reception or hiking up your hemlines for the entire wedding, long, toned gams are a must for leg-revealing dresses! The plié is arguably the most famous ballet position for a reason: it’s a fantastic work out for the entire leg, targeting the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glute muscles.

Instructions:  With one hand holding your ballet barre or any point of balance, bring heels

together and toes apart, creating a narrow ‘V’ shape with your feet. Bend your knees, keeping

heels lifted and touching, knees spread to create a diamond shape between your heels and

your pelvis.  Lift up one inch, down one inch, never moving your seat below your knees.  

Repeat 20 times.  Break for a moment and repeat.
