Christina Aguilera is back in the limelight as she prepares for her new role in the movie Burlesque starring alongside Cher. She told In Touch Weekly,

“I’m bringing my A-game and taking it very seriously.”

Even though she’s rehearsing 14 hours a day and does a lot of dancing while on the set of the movie she still manages to schedule two to five weight training sessions a week with her trainer of five years, Tee Sorge. Sorge told the magazine,

“We want to make sure she doesn’t lose her muscle mass or too much weight.”

Sorge explained that she’ll do a 10-minute warm-up on the treadmill before lifting weights including work for the arms, abs and legs. Sorge said,

“Christina does three sets of each exercise and uses weights ranging from five to 15 pounds.”

As for her diet, Sorge said that she has cut out all white foods such as rice and sugar and she has substituted it with whole grains and lean proteins.

Christina Aguilera is back in the limelight. After taking some time off to have a baby back in 2008 we’re seeing more of Christina at red carpet events and she’s also got a movie in the works with Cher. She’s always been an avid exerciser and she used to workout 90 minutes a day, five days a week doing traditional cardio and weight training. However, in her new movie Burlesque, she has the role as a cabaret performer so she switched to dance (a Dancing with the Stars-style training schedule) as her form of exercise and the difference in her body shape is amazing. She said,

“Being in shape for the movie just came with working on the movie. The schedule is grueling but it’s been amazing.”

Christina likes her new muscle definition as well as the new phase in her life as an actress. Apart from the dancing she’s changed her eating habits as well. She’s cut out the southern comfort food that she grew up on and has done things like switching to whole wheat instead of white bread and eats lean meats, fruits, veggies and will snack on tuna and bananas which are high-energy foods.
Burlesque hits theaters in November 2010.

Grammy Award winner Christina Aguilera is releasing her third and latest fragrance, Christina Aguilera By Night. She recently spoke with the Daily Mail about her new perfume and her transformation from teen pop idol to a matronly mom. As a self-confessed junk food fanatic she has no plans on remaining stick thin like other celebrities because she doesn’t like going on strict diets and she has more important things to worry about. However, she does workout so that she can eat what she wants. She explained,

“I make healthy choices when I can, because it’s very important for me to have moments where I can let go, have a great dinner and not care so much about the carbs. I work out five days a week – and I hate working out in the moment, I truly do. But the aftermath is so great, and it helps you feel good – not only physically, but mentally.”

The 28-year-old gave birth to her first child in January of 2008 and she has since become a dedicated mother who’s learning to wake up in the mornings and perfect the balancing act of mothering her child and allowing herself times to be creative and work on her music. Considering that other teen stars like Lindsday Lohan and Britney Spears are such train wrecks you’ve got to admire Christina’s calm, cool and collected style after years of being in the limelight.

It has been 19 months since pop songstress Christina Aguilera gave birth to her son, Max. We haven’t heard much in the news about her post-baby diet plan and nor have we seen her in the paparazzi pics. An insider has said that Christina has had trouble getting back into shape because she doesn’t like dieting. Aguilera admits,

“I don’t diet because I can’t. I love my food too much. I can’t even cut down on carbs because that’s so hard for me.”

The pop sensation went on to say that she will eat whatever she wants but when son Max goes to bed she will exercise for one hour. Of course she still looks great and because she is such a confident woman she claims that motherhood actually makes her feel sexy. She said she can even feel sexy when wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and doesn’t need to get all glammed up. Christina respects mothers and considers them to be ’superstars.’ She said,

“I do find it important that, as a mother, you don’t give up on your sexuality.”
