Yes, it’s true, the Incredible Hulk is training Michael Jackson in preparation for his July live performances. Lou Ferrigno’s wife, Carla, did confirm the rumor with People Magazine and said that the unlikely duo had trained together in the past. She explained,
“Lou and Michael have known each other for a long time,” says Carla. “Lou first trained Michael 15-years ago.”
As of now no one knows what their workout actually consists of but it sure would be interesting to know. Since the king of pop is so thin already he’s obviously not trying to lose weight so one would think he’s trying to bulk up a bit or perhaps doing some cardio conditioning to prepare for long performances.
As for Lou Ferrigno, apart from his role as The Incredible Hulk for the 1970s series he is also a two-time Mr. Universe and has trained other celebrities such as Mickey Rourke and Chuck Norris.

Fitness guru Jillian Michaels from Biggest Loser has teamed up with Self Magazine to offer monthly fitness tips for those who need a little inspiration or a little advice on how to trim down those difficult areas. For the month of June she gave some advice on how to get motivated to lose weight and get in shape. She introduced her new Get-Fit tips by offering her services:
“So you understand that celebrities have a team of people making them look hot at all times. From their personal chef to their dietician, their trainer, their plastic surgeon, shhhh…, and what do you guys have? You have me.”
She mentioned that the majority of people who write in questions ask about inspiration and how to get it.
“I can’t inspire you, the only person that can inspire you, is you. What you need to do is think of all the reasons why you want to change….Do you want to look hot…Do you want to see your grandchild graduate from college?”
She went on to explain that no matter the reason to get in shape, write it down on a piece of paper, remember it, and let that be your inspiration. However, she did confess that she’s not perfect when it comes to her desire to stay fit but she loves the end results and that is what maintains her high level of motivation.
“I don’t love broccoli, I don’t love the treadmill, but I love the way I feel at the end. I’m strong, it empowers me in all facets of my life. So remember that although something might not be fun in the moment remind yourself of the ultimate reward and allow that to motivate you through the tough times.”

Their most recent video ad is a two minute documercial where international supermodels give their tips on diet and exercise in order to be bikini fit. Here are some snippets of what they had to say:
Veronica Webb explained, “Fitness is a part of your life as a model, you can’t do yourself any favor. You have to workout like you brush your teeth or you wash your face, it’s just part of what you do.”
Doutzen Kroes, “It’s not really a secret it’s working out, getting sleep and eating healthy, it’s a combination of those three things.”….”The workout I love, jump rope!”
Paulina Parzakova jokingly said, “Oh, I eat very little and I exercise a lot!”
Allesandra Ambrosio, “I don’t have time to wrokout but i like surfing, rollerblading and I’m trying to get into yoga to take care of my body. I do yoga like twice a week maybe……”I love chocolate, I love steak, I love all that good brazilian food, so I try to moderate.”
Candice Swanepoel, “I have a trainer and i train at least three days a week, every now and then I go to a ballet class.”
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, “I box, which I love!”
Marisa Miller, “More than anything i think it’s boxing. It’s good because you use your whole body and you work your legs all the way up.”
Flavia Olivera shyly answered, “Actually, I can eat anything. If you go to the beach, take in sun and drink coconut water you don’t need to workout”…..”I don’t want to say these things, I feel like a snob.”
Evidently, these women are just like us humans, they have to work at it. Well, except for Flavia, but at least she was sweet about it in the interview

Bridget Marquardt, Playboy Playmate and one of the Girls Next Door has a new travel adventure series where she visits the world’s best beaches. Bridget spoke with Muscle and Body Magazine about her new show that debuted this spring and how she stays in shape while filming. When asked about the adventurous aspects of the show she said she was thrilled:
“It’s so much an adventure. We’ve done cliff jumping, hiking, volleyball on the beach, jet skiing, weight boarding. It’s been very cool. I’m getting my workout in, and I’m doing my dream job. What more could a girl ask for?”
When asked how she maintains her bikini body she replied,
“I do a lot of different types of workouts. Now I’m doing trapeze bungee jumping, and it is amazing. It’s kind of Cirque Du Soleil style, where I have the trapeze bar but I’m attached by bungees. Three minutes of the bungee trapeze is the equivalent of walking a mile. It’s intense. I do it for about a half hour at a place called Hollywood Aerial Arts in L.A. And here at the mansion, we set up a trapeze right in the backyard. It’s not bungee, but I’m able to get all of my strength training. I do shoulder shrugs, I hang upside down on the bar and do abs, which I’ve gotten really good at.”
She went on to give some further details about her trapeze and jump rope workouts:
“I try to keep it varied. My workout of choice would always be trapeze, because there are different things you can do when you’re doing that. I do trapeze for about an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and a half. When I work out at the gym at home, I try to keep it to usually an hour — maybe 45 minutes on the elliptical rider and then 15 minutes of abs and stretching. Jumping rope is more like a half-hour workout. I take about 15 minutes to do 500 jumps. If I throw in abs and 1,000 jumps, it’s about 45 minutes. It’s not something you have to do all at once. I usually do, like, 100 jumps, go answer a couple of e-mails, then come back and do another 100 jumps. You can’t do 1,000 jumps straight. I’m in pretty good shape, but I can do only maybe 300 at once and then I need a break. Once you build up your heart rate, then let it go down, then build it up again, that’s great for you. I’ve also found that stretching is important. Sometimes when I can’t get in a workout, if I just lay down on the floor or bed in the hotel room and just stretch a little bit, I feel so much better.”

“They have these CrossFit gyms where you have medicine balls, weight-lifting, rowing machines, [and] obstacle courses. I recommend going!”
She’s right. Intense interval training is an effective and efficient way to burn fat because it keeps the body guessing and it doesn’t get accustom to the same movements and heart rate. No pain, no gain!
