What Defines Sexy?

Celebs & Entertainment, Reviews & Products, Motivation

stilettosOur society is funny. Thin celebrities are bashed for being thin, yet stars who gain more than five "extra" pounds are criticized for being overweight. What the hell?

I look around my neighborhood and see lots of happy people of all different shapes and sizes, and I imagine (not in a creepy lewd and lascivious way) that many of those people are having sex! You know ... they "get busy" and "do the deed." So my thought process in the long run is that sexy is really not so much about looking like a Calvin Klein model, but more about the way we act and feel.

So what makes you feel sexy? Lots of girls seem to strut their stuff in lingerie, stilettos or shiny shirts. Guys work the boot cut jeans or Under Armour T's, I suppose. Me? I feel best in my black cowboy boots. Am I a western girl at all? Not really. But those boots make me feel just a tad more powerful and as you'll read next ... I love power.

What fitness advantages do celebrities really have?

Fitness, Celebs & Entertainment

Do you think your workout would be more fun and interesting if you had the same personal trainer as your favorite celebrity and even worked out in the same gym? Do you think they really have it that much better and easier than the rest of us? I'm half torn on that question myself, because although they do have unlimited funds (I would soooo have a personal chef to cook me wonderful healthy dishes for every meal!) but no matter how you scramble it weight loss and fitness are still hard work -- you can't just "order up" a fit physique.

The truth is celebrities go through the same sorts of things we do, and celebrity trainers follow much the same principles for their famous clients as they do their non-famous ones. Concepts like getting into a rhythm and making a habit of fitness, finding things that are fun to do, and realizing that it's a daily conscious effort are key.

Some things are just human, money and fame or not!

Celebrity trainers tell us what works

Fitness, Celebs & Entertainment

Don't lie! Everybody wants to look like a celebrity. Well, maybe not exactly like a celebrity, but fit and beautiful in your own skin is pretty fair to say. I'm not a celebrity, so I really don't know how easy or difficult their lives are, but I do think it's easier for them to eat healthy and stay in shape with personal chefs and personal trainers at their beck and call. Sometimes they even get several months allotted before a movie just to get as buff as possible...

Must be rough.

So just what are those celebrity personal trainers teaching people like Oprah, Elle McPherson, and Madonna? Everything from focusing on health instead of appearance, to finding activities you like, to being realistic about just how much hard work it takes to get in (and stay in) shape.

Good to know they have to work hard at it, because I sure do!
