Brooke Shields: Workout

by Betsy on Celebs

Brooke Shields just keeps looking better every time we see her.  The 44-year-old is super-fit, intelligent, an active mom, and the list goes on and on.  How does she do it all?  She recently told People Magazine that she’s a ‘closet super hero’ and that must obviously be the case because she seems to do everything perfectly.  When asked about her workout routine she said she does a combination of yoga and spinning but doesn’t lift weights because she bulks up quickly.  She explained,
“It’s not safe for me to work with weights at the moment because I just get a bit … I respond quickly.”
But it seems that yoga and spinning is doing the trick because even the people that she works with on the film set, Furry Vengeance, are starting to take notice.  Shields said she was flattered when someone on the set yelled out,
“Does someone have a sewing kit? Because she’s ripped.”
Furry Vengeance will be released in April of 2010 and stars Brooke Shields, Brendan Fraser and Ken Jeong.

Madonna’s Arms

by Betsy on Celebs

They may not be weapons of mass destruction but more and more female celebrities are showing off their guns and are proud of it.  Michelle Obama was the first to be lauded as she has a tendency to wear tank and sleeveless dresses that show off her great triceps.  Brooke Shields gave a tearful speech at Michael Jackson’s funeral and instead of getting credited for her speech, the media decided to praise her toned arms that she flashed while presenting on stage.  Last but not least, we’ve got Madonna who has been under fire because of her sinewy arms that her personal trainer Tracy Anderson claims is a result of too much yoga.
A body composition specialist told the Daily Mail that Madonna’s look is a result of having lifted heavy weights in the past but is now on a different workout routine that uses less weight but her body is trying to keep that old muscle.  He explained,
“Even if she’s using lower weights now, she’s still using her muscles enough to warrant her body keeping them.  Her new regime of one hour of cardio work will reduce her body fat level, which is why she’s so defined and you can see her muscles and veins. Even if she is using only her own body weight during exercising (such as doing push ups), it is still a form of resistance training. It won’t build her muscles to the optimum, but it will keep them as they are.”
As for Madonna’s current training with Tracy Anderson they do an hour of cardio as well as an hour of pilates-style muscle toning and Tracy never goes above a 3-pound weight.  But considering the arm portion of training is about 30 minutes and the fact that Madonna has such low body fat the result is what you see in the photo above.
Be it the First Lady, Brooke Shields or Madonna these three women look great.  They are healthy, they exercise and eat right.  Maybe it’s time the media stop worrying about the celebrities’ arms and instead be more concerned about real guns and weapons in the community and how that’s effecting society.

Brooke Shields’ Arm Workout

by Megan

Who knew Brooke Shields had such stunning gunners? When Brooke took to the stage at Michael Jackson’s memorial service on Tuesday 7 July and spoke about her dear friend, we managed to tear our eyes away from her arms just long enough to listen to her moving tribute.

It appears the big secret to her success isn’t so big at all. It’s yoga! Like other hot celebrity moms, Brooke has been a fan of the holistic Indian practice for years, but likes to add spinning to her daily workout as well. According to her ex-trainer, Ish Moran, the chaturanga pose is the one that’ll help you on your way to beautifully-toned triceps.

Brooke Shields: Health Regrets

by Betsy on Celebs

 

brooke-shields-health-regrets

Brooke Shields had some interesting things to say during her June interview with Health Magazine.  She opened up about how she had a poor self body image in her teens and 20s and how it effected her love life.  She explained,

“I think I would have had sex a lot earlier! I think I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did at 22.  I had the public and this pressure, and I wish I had just gotten it over with in the beginning, when it was sort of OK. I think I could have been much more in touch with myself.”
