I've spent a lot of time with various celebrities this year and have poked them all about their health and fitness habits. Two of the most inspiring were not the young hard bodies we see on the covers of tabloid magazines each week. No, these two celebrities have healthy capable bodies, which have endured many years of living.

The woman I speak of, at 57 years old, is every bit the blond bombshell she was known as 30 years ago. She works out six to seven days a week, mixing up her workouts with: kickboxing, yoga, water aerobics and climbing her steep driveway known as "butt hill."

The man who stood out is in his late 60s and still plays basketball and baseball on a regular basis. The guy has probably been in every hit sitcom in the past three decades and told me that the highlight of his year would be if I could hook him up to throw the ball around with the Heisman Trophy winning University of Florida quarterback, Tim Tebow.

The All-American Rejects certainly don't reject healthy living. The rockers stay healthy on tour, and are sporting mustaches for one of the hottest health drinks around.

Mariah Carey makes the most of her workout by adding water to the mix. She loves that a pool workout provides resistance and burns more calories, and even took her workout on vacation.

After getting some rotten press about her body, Jennifer Love Hewitt made it known that she was perfectly happy with her body, and that if she did lose any weight, it would be for health. Well, the curvaceous beauty has lost the weight, and she looks fabulous, but some are questioning the strength of her body image message now that she's dropped the pounds.

Men's Fitness magazine has had numerous athletes grace its cover, representing many sports, but for 26 years, one thing has been constant -- they've all been professional athletes. For the first time, the man on the cover will be a college athlete -- September's issue will feature Florida Gators QB Tim Tebow.

Why Tebow? Why is he so special? Roy Johnson, Men's Fitness Editor-in-Chief explained to the Orlando Sentinel, "That young man is a physical specimen ... He seems to embody what you want in a young athlete. So the story is not just for Gator fans but for everyone to get to know him."

Physical specimen is right -- he's strong, he's fast, and he's big. And, aside from that, he's an athlete people can look up to. He has long spent his off-time doing mission trips in other countries, and this past spring break he even did a little surgery in the Philippines.

Granted, as a Gator fan, I'm a little biased, but there's no doubt that Tebow is an exceptional athlete. Fortunately, Men's Fitness is sending extra copies to our area in anticipation of mega-sales -- I wouldn't want to miss this!
