Actress Lindsay Lohan, who recently posed nude for Playboy magazine, stays in shape with rigorous spinning workouts."I've gone through enough in my life that I appreciate getting up at 7 or 8 in the morning and going spinning," Lohan tells ExtraTV. "I like that kind of routine."
Earlier in the morning, the Palm Desert police department said that they've decided to pass battery charges on to prosecutors while also readying to notify Lohan's probation officer of the violation, Complaining about the department spokesperson having made the public announcement, LiLo's lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley said, "The important, yet limited, investigatory role of the police to gather facts and collect evidence is well-established."

Shakira gym workout

2012-06-30T05:30:00.003-07:00

Shakira was in Ibiza this week for a photo shoot where she unveiled her amazing abs.

To get that gorgeous midsection, Shakira has been training with celebrity trainerTracy Anderson. A typical workout (6 days a week) consists of 60 minutes of strength straining and then 40 minutes of cardio dance with new workout routines every 10 days.

In addition, as we know, Shakira includes a lot of belly dancing in her dance routine, which obviously helps her maintain those beautiful abs. Indeed, lots of celebrities have been using belly dancing to stay fit. Kaeshi Chai of Bellyqueen provided a few tips to Hollywoodlife on how anyone can workout with belly dancing.

Build a foundation. “Practice the foundation moves of belly dance, which include figure eights, circles, slides and shimmies,” Kaeshi says. “Any contraction utilizing the rectus abdominus (stomach), obliques and quadratus lumborum (side muscles) and back muscles will help tone and exercise the torso region. Most foundation belly dance movements activate the torso muscles of the body.”

Try squeezing your core for 10 seconds at a time throughout the day – when you’re sitting at the computer, watching TV, or standing in line. Do these about 10 times. Repeat throughout the day. As you strengthen your core, you can increase the duration of each rep and/or increase the number of repetitions.

Cross-train. “The ideal combination is to cross train with yoga and pilates to build flexibility and strength,” Kaeshi says. Also, try “meditation to practice moving your breath through your body which will make your dancing seem effortless.”

Pilates will help strengthen your core, while yoga will help with your flexibility – each of which are absolutely critical for serious belly dancing.

Dance every day. You can do it anywhere! “A person can dance a little everyday — when they are washing the dishes, brushing their teeth or even talking on the phone,” Kaeshi says. Just pop your hips!

One of the reasons why belly dancing is becoming a popular workout alternative is that it doesn’t require any equipment or large blocks of time and it could be done just about anywhere.

Rihanna's Diet

2012-06-30T05:29:00.007-07:00

Rihanna's Diet

As the gossip rags have pointed out, Rihanna has gotten into amazing shape for Good Girl Gone Bad. When asked about how she did it, Rihanna said:
"I like carbs, but at the end of the day, carbs are the enemy. It wasn't so much losing weight as being fit and toned and healthy. I just didn't feel great.
Now I'm working out and trying to eat healthy. That's making me lose weight without even thinking about it."
She has been working out with a trainer, counting calories, and "obsessing" over her legs she says.

About Her Low Carb Diet

Low-carbohydrate diets that cut out foods like bread and pasta work faster than low-fat diets, two new studies show. After six months, people on a low-carb diet lost more weight than those on a low-fat diet.
This low carb diet is designed to help you reduce cravings and lose weight at the fastest possible speed, it is packed with quick and easy low-carb meals, using ordinary foods.
This is an ideal weight loss plan for anyone who enjoys healthy low-carb eating and who wants to lose body fat as fast as possible.

Before starting this diet you should know:
- Eat regularly spaced meals and snacks, approximately every 4 to 5 hours, to avoid feeling famished and to keep energy levels high.
- Eliminate as much sugar as possible from your diet: soda, sweetened beverages, fruit juice, cookies, cakes, candies.
- Choose as many unprocessed foods as possible. Don't worry if you use highly processed convenience foods some of the time -- just minimize the damage as much as you can.
- Drink water between meals. If you must have flavored water, make your own. (Even sugar-free flavored water is high in artificial sweeteners, which will perpetuate your sweet tooth.) Add lemon, lime or orange slices to plain seltzer water for a refreshing taste without sugar.
- Take a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement for nutrition insurance.

Breakfast

1. Breakfast egg sandwich with egg and meat or egg and cheese, one fresh orange.
2. Protein drink (look for ones made with soy protein to promote a healthy heart).
3. Low-carb breakfast bar (look for ones with no more than 15 grams of carbohydrate and 250 to 300 calories).

Lunch

1. Grilled chicken sandwich, garden salad with 2 tablespoons low-fat salad dressing.
2. Frozen low-calorie lasagna entrée, apple.
3. Deli sandwich: Ask for 4 ounces turkey, ham or roast beef on 2 slices whole-grain bread topped with oil and vinegar or mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato; 1/2 cup three-bean salad.

Dinner
1. Grocery-store take out: 3 ounces roasted chicken, 1/2 cup pasta salad, 1 cup sliced tomatoes drizzled with balsamic vinegar, 1 cup skim milk.
2. Chinese take-out: Egg roll, 1 cup shrimp chow mein, 1/2 cup rice, tea.
3. Quick and easy stir-fry: 3 ounces chicken breast mixed with 1 cup stir-fry vegetables (use the frozen packets for the easiest prep) and 1/2 cup rice; 1 cup skim milk.

Snacks

- Half cup trail mix (1/4 cup peanuts mixed with 2 tablespoons dried fruit)
- Eight saltine crackers with 2 ounces low-fat cheddar cheese
- Low-carb snack bar (choose one between 150 and 250 calories)
- Two ounces string cheese and 1/2 cup grapes

- Find out how to fit more fitness into your busy routine.

Megan Fox Workout – Get a Toned Body

2012-06-30T05:29:00.003-07:00

My female clients want to know theMegan Fox workout, so they can get a toned body just like the super popularTransformers actress. They also want to know her exact measurements so they can attempt to mold a similar sizzlin’ body. Megan Fox’s height is 5’6? (1.67 m) and her weight was 114 lbs (51.82 kg) during the filming of Transformers. Okay, so what did Megan Fox do that was so special? Does she have some magical workout or diet secrets that make getting a lean, toned body super easy? Sorry to disappoint you, but the answer is NO. In fact, the only thing Megan Fox has over you is a really large motivational driving force.I mean, wouldn’t you work extra hard at losing fat and getting toned up if you were about to rock your body on a several hundred inch movie screen in front of millions of people across the world? Me too. With the exception that you and I are not going to be starring in a Transformers sequel, we all have just as much ability to sculpt a sexy body that will turn heads and draw tons of compliments. Megan Fox’s personal trainer had her primarily focusing on body weight circuits, where she performed lots of planks, ab circuits and finished things off with 30 minutes of cardio. Wow, brilliant (can you sense my sarcasm?). More politically correct BS that will mislead hundreds of thousands of hopeful females around the world who desperately want to “Transformers” (haha…I can’t help myself) their body to resemble Megan Fox. Here’s my opinion: she needs to fire her trainer immediately and hire me at $1,000/hr to take over…because any worthwhile fitness professional would tell you this “alleged” workout regimen iscomplete shit and won’t do much at all in terms of giving you a toned Megan Fox body.

Of course, there’s always the chance that they just aren’t telling you the REAL workout or perhaps that’s just a drastic oversimplification of the actual workout program she used. Don’t worry though, cuz I just designed a killer new workout that’ll get you Megan Fox body in no time . Either way, Megan reports that she’s pretty much ‘tip-top’ when it comes to diet. The Transformers star generally had eggs for breakfast and snacked on almonds throughout the day. This is by far the biggest factor when it comes to sculpting your Megan Fox bod… let’s face it, I could give you any one of the thousands of workouts I’ve created over the years and as long as you were eating to get lean, you would see results. My suggestion is this: screw Megan Fox. Focus on being the best, most lean and hottest version ofyourself that you can possibly be. With a lot of hard work and determination you could probably be hotter than her anyways. Personally, I think she’s a lil too thin… don’t get me wrong, I like girls who are tone with a tight waist, but I also think it’s important to keep those feminine curves.Girls like Brooke Burke in her day, Kim Kardashian, Jessica Biel, Mariah Carey, Jessica Alba and Shakira have that going for them. I just think that’s a more attractive look, being lean withcurves and a healthy amount of body fat (guys should be extremely ripped, but girls look good at a slightly higher body fat percentage). Do you agree? Or maybe you’re not ready for this jelly? Speaking of which, we can’t forget about the beautiful “B” (sorry Jay-Z).Anyways, the bottom line is that there’s no magical Megan Fox workout that will give you a smokin’ hot body…and the CRAP that she claims helped to sculpt her figure in the movie Transformers is definitely not the most effective type of workout for getting lean and tone.Like I said before, if you’re already pretty lean and don’t have far to go, then yah…I could give you almost any workout and as long as you were following my fat burning nutrition tips, you’d swear the workout was giving you amazing results.But if you still need to drop 15 or more pounds, then you’d be better off focusing on metabolic weight training, plyometric workouts and intense interval training. These advanced fat loss methods will give you that Megan Fox lean-looking figure in much less time, as compared to some generic ab circuit and 30 minutes of steady state cardio on the exercise bike.That’s my rant about the “Megan Fox workout craze.” Don’t forget to leave your comments below. Do you agree that she’s too damn skinny? Which celebrity owns your ideal toned body with just the right amount of cruves?

Lady Gaga’s Diet and Workouts

2012-06-30T05:28:00.003-07:00

Lady Gaga’s Diet and Workouts

Lady Gaga was on stage last night looking in amazing shape, so we thought that it is time we had a look at her fitness and diet secrets.

The Drunk Diet?

Lady Gaga has had a lot of mixed press over the years. Earlier this year the Daily Mail (UK) reported that Lady GaGa’s boyfriend, Luc Carl, was writing a book called The Drunk Diet, as he and Lady Gaga attributed their slim figure to an excessive lifestyle. However, this seems to have been little more than a marketing ploy as there is still no sign of his Drunk Diet book in the shops. According to his website, drunkdiet.com, the book will be released in 2012.

His website says that the Drunk Diet is really just a story of a year in the life of Luc Carl, and not really a diet manual. But all the may change in the next year! However, from what we can gather, this is really just Luc’s supposed system of weight management and not the one Lady Gaga really uses.

Lady Gaga’s Strict and Healthy Diet

Lady Gaga follows a simple but strict diet, according to the Daily Telegraph. Her rigorous dance routines on stage burn far more calories than most people manage in a gym session so her diet actually needs to be packed with energy, proteins and healthy fats to help her to maintain a healthy body.

“I don’t eat bread, just vegetables and salad and fish. Eating like that is much better for me anyway but on Sundays I sometimes eat pasta.”

This is really the type of diet that just about every personal trainer and nutritionist advocates at the moment and it sounds very similar to a low GI diet plan.

Harley Pasternak’s Plan

Lady Gaga has hired Harley Pasternak to make sure she stays in top shape. He tours with her and set a plan that she can follow while on the road. Harry shared the plan with HollywoodLife.com. He was also very impressed with Lady Gaga’s strength and determination, saying that she has a high pain threshold so can work through any exercise. He also mentioned that her abs are in excellent shape.

“She has no weaknesses. We train her whole body with a focus on the muscles on the back of her body, her butt, hamstrings, upper back and back of her arms.” Harry Pasternak.

Harry Pasternak is the trainer behind the 5 Factor Training system and uses this method with Lady Gaga.

Harry’s 5 Step Workout Plan For Lady Gaga

Step 1: Gaga does her 5-Factor workout with a HarleyBar, workout bar created by Pasternak. That’s a cool barbell/dumbbell (DB) combination she travels with.
Step 2: Warm-up with a five-minute jog.
Step 3: Perform this simple circuit training workout 3 times – do 25 reps of each exercise:
- DB back Rows – These work your upper back and posture muscles. Bend forward slightly and pull a dumbbell up to your ribs
- DB deadlifts – These work your hamstrings, thighs and butt. Keeping the legs almost straight just lift the dumbbells from the floor and stand up straight, focussing on lifting with the hips.
- Sides bends – these focus on the “love handles” and obliques. Great core exercises. Holding dumbbells in your hand bend to one side and then the other.
Step 4: 5 minutes of intensive rope jumping
Step 5: Eat a healthy diet! Gaga follows Harry Paternak’s 5-Factor World Diet plan. Harry says that she is really loving the new recipes in his book :)

Lady Gaga’s Abs Secrets

Harry explains that “exercises like double crunches, trunk twists and side bends give Gaga her amazing abs!” The key is to work your body in many ways and not to just perform the same exercises all the time.

To get great abs you need to work the whole body to burn fat and then target the abs with a variety of exercises – and then work them hard.

Powerful Weight Training

Apparently Lady Gaga’s favorite weight training exercise is the dumbbell deadlift. The deadlift is an excellent core exercise which strengthens the lower back and hips.

Really her workouts are simple – intensive, varied and focussed on developing functioning muscles and improving endurance and fitness.

Lady Gaga Dieting Tips

In 2010 FitSugar.com reported on Lady Gagas diet. Earlier that year there was a scare when she collapsed due to exhaustion. Since then healthy diet has been a more important focus. What you must remember before reading on though is that to stay in great shape requires fitness and diet. So just eating what Lady Gaga eats will not help you lose weight if you do not also do the exercise that she does!

Here diet consists of more carbohydrates these days, such as grain chips and hummus, as well as lean proteins from tofu,turkey and fish. She also drinks a lot of coconut water which is an excellent rehydration drink, a natural version of Gatorade that many people in tropical countries swear by (I once got ill in Brazil with a bad stomach bug and coconut water was all I was allowed to drink!).

The real key to Lady Gaga’s body is that she follows a healthy diet that provides her with all the energy she needs to train and perform on stage as well as the nutrients to stay fit and healthy. Her diet is generally low GI with lean meats and healthy fruits too. Bread, pasta and rice is all limited, instead consuming healthy salad vegetables.

She trains hard, performing a variety of fitness workouts including circuit training, weight training, yoga and her dance routines.

Lady Gaga is simply a very healthy and active woman – a great role model. She is also very intelligent and talented – she writes her own songs and plays the piano. She is certainly not simply “gaga”!
