If you're looking for fitness inspiration, why not look to the stars? Each week, we round up some of the best celebrity fitness stories for you. Many will motivate you to hit the gym and eat healthfully, while some ... well, some can be viewed more as cautionary tales. But no matter what, you're going to be entertained!

Heidi Klum isn't afraid to show what she's got ... and not just on the Victoria's Secret Runway either. Klum says that in her house, the human body isn't something to be hidden. Klum credits her openness to her German upbringing. "People are pretty open with their bodies in Germany, and the children see you naked or in lingerie all the time so it's not a big deal for us."

Of course, having a body like Klum's certainly helps with confidence. And Klum doesn't come across her great figure without effort. "You have to work out to be sexy," says Klum. "People always ask me how I stay in shape," continues Klum. "What really makes me do it is because I have a hot man waiting at home for me."

Motivation certainly is important for exercise. While the rest of us may not have Seal waiting at home, we all need motivation, too. What inspires you to exercise?

Heidi Klum has already extolled the virtues of the trampoline, citing it as one of the things that keeps her in supermodel shape. This week, when she appeared on Jimmy Kimmel's talk show, she showed off her trampoline jumping skills -- and dragged Jimmy with her.

In fact, she encouraged him to take off his shoe and socks, which he initially refused to do, and for good reason -- when he finally took off his socks, some of his toenails were painted (apparently by Ben Affleck).

At any rate, Heidi proved to have some good moves on the trampoline, and Jimmy did a pretty decent job of staying on. While it might not have been the most efficient way to conduct an interview (we learned that Victoria Beckham would be a celebrity judge for the Project Runway finale, but that was about it), it sure was a lot of fun to watch. It was short, but if they'd gone for much longer, I would imagine they would've been fairly out of breathe. I mean, when's the last time you were on a big trampoline? It's a workout!

And let me just say, Heidi gets more likable every time she hits a talk show. She's fun, she's goofy, and seems to get along well with everyone, and now that she jumped on a trampoline with Jimmy Kimmel, I think I have a girl crush.
