People Magazines 10 Outrageous Star Fitness Tricks | megan fox mariah carey katy perry jessica simpson cameron diaz beyonce

Interested? Let’s see them!

Katy Perry stays fit by embracing her inner schoolgirl. “I hate working out, but I love jumping rope,” says the “Waking Up in Vegas” singer. “There’s a rhythm. It’s like dancing.” And she’s no schoolyard novice. “I can double jump; I can cross. I can do all of it. I look like Rocky when I jump..Besides being fun, a 130-lb. woman jumping rope at a fast pace can burn more than 350 calories!

To stay in shape while touring with country star George Strait this summer, Julianne Hough and her ever-present pup Lexi were workout buddies. “We go up and down the stairs at the amphitheater and run across the lawn,” the singer said. She and Lexi also enlisted the help of her band, “”playing wiffle ball and ultimate Frisbee” – fun and a great workout!

Jessica Simpson keeps her glutes Daisy Duke-worthy by doing a booty dance! The singer recently posted on Twitter that trainer Mike Alexander (who sculpted her silhouette for 2005′s The Dukes of Hazzard) “yells at me ‘get lower like you’re in the club.’” Her comical response? “I don’t squat in a club unless I’m peeing!”

To squeeze exercise into her packed schedule, Michelle Obama rises at 5:30 a.m. and exercises “pretty religiously” with husband Barack Obama in the White House’s private gym, she tells PEOPLE. But the first lady – who’s earned accolades for her ultra-toned arms – says she’s not quite as diligent as the President. “I can skip a workout. He really can’t,” she says with a laugh.

Forget chocolate! Mariah Carey‘s go-to snack food is a healthy serving of artichokes! The vegetable is high in fiber – averaging 9 grams per cup! – meaning it can leave you feeling more full and less likely to snack. Most of us only get half the daily recommended 25 grams of fiber, so doubling up on servings could cut 100 calories from your day.

Red-carpet bombshell Megan Fox says she counters the effects of her “really big sweet tooth” by drinking apple-cider vinegar and water. “It cleans out your system,” she says. Another fan of the apple-cider cleanse? Fergie!

Instead of counting reps, Beyoncé has a more musical approach to her workouts. “I’ll put on a song that I really like and do [biceps curls with] 5-lb. weights the whole song,” the singer told Self magazine. Another upper-body trick? She’ll box for the length of one track using 3-lb. weights.

Countess LuAnn de Lesseps credits her glowing complexion to turning her beauty routine upside down. “I do a yoga headstand every morning. I don’t do Botox. Headstands are great for getting the circulation going and giving tone to your muscles in the face,” says the Real Housewives of New York City star and Ashtanga yoga devotee.

Forget eggs! Cameron Diaz loads up on garlicky chicken in the morning before heading out to surf. “It’s the best breakfast in the world,” the actress has said of her protein-rich way to start her day.

Supermodel Marisa Miller was kind enough to reveal her workout secrets in Cosmopolitan Magazine. And since ”Marisa has the kind of figure women dream of and men dream about.”, as the magazine puts it, I bet that we are all curious to see (and maybe practice) her tips!

Jessica Alba Is Super Pregnant

May 16, 2008 in Jessica Alba, Pregnant Celebrities by Versus

Jessica Alba Is Super Pregnant | pregnant celebrities jessica alba

Before the pregnancy, Jessica Alba was a health and fitness nut – and the results lead her to the top of “who’s sexiest” charts. In the first months of her pregnancy, Jessica Alba was still a fitness nut – and some started to get worried that she was spending too much time and energy in the gym. But judging on the picture above, Jessica hasn’t gained much weight during her pregnancy, just like she hasn’t gained back her pre-Cash Warren smile.

Let’s place our bets! How fast will Jessica shed the pounds after giving birth? Will she beat the Jennifer Lopez and Nicole Richie records? Will she go back to her skinniest days or will she settle for a more comfortable and easier to achieve number on the scale? What do you think?
