We Love To Gawk At Fit Celebs: Christina Aguilera on exercising post-baby

We Love To Gawk At Fit Celebs, Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness, Celebs & Entertainment

Is it just me, or are more and more celebrities making the admission that they don't really like to exercise? First we hear that new mom Milla Jovovich "doesn't embrace exercise," and now we're hearing something similar from Christina Aguilera.

In a recent interview with Glamour, Christina admits, "I hate working out -- I have to mentally push myself through it." She works out 90 minutes a day and has a trainer, but she "can't deal with having someone barking" at her, but when she's asked to do something, she just gets focused and gets it done. She's now able to do five pull-ups in a row, as long as she's asked nicely to do it.

Christina gained about 40 pounds in her pregnancy (she had her son, Max, about six months ago), and while she was "OK with the booty and the boobs" after giving birth, she wasn't happy with the weight she was carrying around her stomach. She noticed a big change in her hips as well, and her shoe size went from a five to a seven (it's gone back down now, though -- imagine the horror if she'd had to start over with shoes!). The weight hasn't melted off easily for the diva, but she's regaining her body slowly but surely (and healthfully), and I have no doubt she'll be back to her pre-baby body shortly.

What food vices do you share with your favorite diva?

Celebs & Entertainment

I used to work in the music industry and as a part of my job, from time to time I would have to meet a band after a performance. I was always amazed by the amount and variety of food and drinks that had been procured for the group after being asked for in their rider (a list of requests made by the band and their people for anything from stage equipment to a specific kind of local microbrewed beer).

Some dressing rooms were filled with fruit, cheese and vegetable plates, while others were filled with chips, cookies and deli-meat sandwiches. One band even brought their own cooking equipment on the road in order to cook healthy, homemade food each night. Usually there was a mix of healthy and greasy snacks to satisfy a hungry crew before and after a show.

Ever wonder what some of your favorite singers request while on the road? Our buddies over at Slashfood recently put up a post about what the world's biggest divas demand to satisfy their cravings. If you think you know what your best-loved music-makers like to munch on after a performance, check out this quiz and see how high you score. Choose your answers carefully though as, while few will find it surprising that Britney Spears asks for Doritos, there are definitely a few celeb cravings that might throw you for a loop!
