First, Fabrizio advised you to download the My Fitness Pal app and “adjust what you’re eating every day.”
“If you feel like you’ve hit a plateau, here’s the secret: It’s not just about how hard you sweat in the gym,” she said. “It has everything to do with the calories you’re actually consuming.”

“Let’s go for a walk.” Get your body moving. “It’s really good for your mental health, especially while you’re planning your wedding,” she said. “Weddings are stressful enough. It might be worth taking those steps.
“Then follow the training program,” she continued. “I like to go three or four times a week. That’s it.
“If you can stay steady for those three to four days, that’s enough. The focus should be on intentionality and progress – lifting heavier.”
Fabrizio concluded the video by sharing her daily essentials, including her morning and night routine.
