Jennifer Aniston has always been the owner of a very enviable figure and in this month’s issue of InStyle Magazine, she talks about how she maintains it with the help of workouts and a healthy diet:

Workouts: “I work out almost every day, at least five or six days a week. I do 40 minutes of cardio: spinning, running, the elliptical, or a combination of all three. Then I do Pilates one day a week, and I do yoga in addition to that, three days a week. I try to mix it up.”

Traveling workouts: “I take 8 pound weights with me whenever I’m staying in a hotel. It’s always good to do arm exercises when you’re watching television or talking on the phone. I also love to stretch before I go to bed, and usually throw in a couple of sit-ups.”

Diet: “Most of the time I eat things like salmon or other fish, quinoa, lentils, and green vegetables. You’re told to avoid fried food, but I don’t always. I had Mexican the other night and ate everything you can imagine! I also take Omega Cure liquid fish oil and resveratrol, which is supposed to be good for your heart.”

… says 42 year-old Jennifer.

Lady Gaga attended a Young Women’s Conference at Los Angeles’ Brentwood School a few days ago and with this occasion, she opened up about her past struggles with bulimia – from Huffington Post:

On Her Bulimic Past: “I used to throw up all the time in high school. So I’m not that confident. And maybe it’s easier for me to talk about it now because I don’t do it anymore. I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night. I used to come home and say, ‘Dad, why do you always give us this food? I need to be thin.’ And he’d say, ‘Eat your spaghetti.’ It’s really hard, But … you’ve got to talk to somebody about it.”

Weight Is Still an Issue: “Every video I’m in, every magazine cover, they stretch you’ they make you perfect. It’s not real life. I’m gonna say this about girls: The dieting wars have got to stop. Everyone just knock it off. Because at the end of the day, it’s affecting kids your age. And it’s making girls sick.”

On Bulimia’s Effects: “It made my voice bad, so I had to stop. The acid on your vocal chords — it’s very bad. But for those of you who don’t sing, you maybe don’t have that excuse until it’s too late. It’s very dangerous.”

On being photographed without makeup:
“My makeup is usually left over from the night before. I’m not really worried about the photographs because if I tell my fans not to give a f—k about the haters, then I have to practice what I preach. I embrace the imperfections and celebrate them.”

… says Ke$ha in Glamour Magazine.

Petite and fit Kelly Ripa (41) is featured in Good Housekeeping this month, where she shares a few thoughts on being fit:

On Exercise: “I work out every day. It’s part of my life. That’s one of the benefits of having kids in school full-time. I’m usually done with work around 11 A.M., so I have time before I pick the kids up from school. I do it more for my insides than my outside, but the outside gets a nice benefit, too. I feel like my mind is a little quieter when I exercise. And I don’t have the best family history heart-wise, so I really try to keep my heart strong. I work out with a trainer three days a week. We do what I would call cardio ballet and power yoga. I take spinning classes, which I love, and I run.”

… says Kelly.
