We know Fergie exercises while she’s on tour with her Black Eyed Peas band mates, and that she double’s up on vegetables to maintain her figure. But just how does Us magazine’s “Best Legs” celebrity get those sexy legs? Star trainer Mike Ryan, from Gold’s Gym, explains exactly which exercises you can do to get the 34-year-old singer’s pins.

Squats
With feet a little wider than your hips, a straightened back straight and lifted chest, bend your knees as if to sit in a chair, and then straighten. Do 3 sets of 12, but as the week’s go by (or if you need a challenge sooner) add 3 to 5-pound dumbbells.

Walking Lunges
Standing with legs hip-width apart, step forward with your right leg – but don’t overextend your stride. Bending your knee, push down into the stride with your body. Now bring your left leg forward to stand. Next, repeat the step forward with your left leg. We all have different strides, so don’t count the number of lunges, but rather the distance – you’ll need to do 10 to 15 yards in each direction.

Step-ups
To shake things up a bit and focus on your thighs, a series of steps can help them. Face a bench and lift one leg onto it. Then lift the other leg to meet it. But don’t rest that leg on the bench, because you have to return it to the starting position for one rep. Do two sets of 10 reps on each leg.

I’m happy to see Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie is back to her old shape again after gaining and then losing 17 pounds for her role as a voluptuous prostitute in the movie Nine. I’m even happier that she did it the healthy way – relying on a balanced diet and personal trainer instead of crash dieting.

The 34-year-old MTV and People’s Choice Award winner enlisted the help of Carrie Wiatt, personal trainer, nutritionist and creator of Diet Designs, who at first restricted her carbohydrate intake at night and then made her double her veggie portions. On her 1 600-calories-a-day diet, Fergie usually eats protein-rich chicken, omega-3-rich pine nuts, fiber-filled grapefruit and healthy fats from avocado, but wards off overeating at mealtimes with three small snacks throughout the day.

Fergie’s trainer, Don Brooks of Don-A-Matrix Training, is whipping her body in a shape that’ll soon have Jennifer Lopez envious. Don makes Fergie squeeze her butt while walking at an incline on the treadmill or up a hill, and while doing simple exercises like single-leg hip raises. Stepping onto the red carpet at this year’s Grammy Awards with husband Josh Duhamel, the singer sizzled in a blue Emilio Pucci dress.

Celeb Diet Doc Says…
This is a great idea to double up on veggies… there is no better way to get health and lose weight! and you can’t argue with the results… Fergie is looking Fergielicious and you can too with this simple trick.

Fergie, the sexy singer from the Black Eyed Peas has one killer body. Even when she gained almost 20 pounds for her role in the musical Nine, she still looked awesome. These past few months as she’s been touring with the band you would think she doesn’t even need to exercise with all of that dancing they do on stage. This month while in England to appear on the X-Factor, Fergie was asked by the UK OK! Magazine is she’s still working out even though she’s on tour. She replied,

“Yes, right now I’m working every day with a personal trainer so I’m feeling really in shape and motivated. Because of my new tour I’m trying to get my stamina back up.”

Fergie also mentioned that her weight often fluctuates so she’s in tune to when she’s a bit too soft or has put on some pounds. But as for now, she is happy to be back at the weight she was before filming the movie, Nine.

The sexy Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie has joined the list of Hollywood celebrity shape-shifters who gain or lose weight for a role.  Christian Bale and Renee Zellweger seem to pull it off and it looks like Fergie can too.  For her role in the movie Nine she gained 17 pounds and even though the movie has yet to be released she has already dropped the weight and is back in fit condition.  In a new interview with the Daily Record newspaper she said she enjoyed putting on the weight.

“It was easy to put it on and it was fun and I loved it. I ate fried foods, everything, and I just didn’t work out at all.”

She went on to explain that she wasn’t worried about it while she was gaining.  It had been the first time since high school that she let herself eat whatever she wanted.  After filming when it was time to get back in shape, Fergie got a personal trainer to stay motivated.  She said,

“It really took me a while mentally to get back to that routine. So now I have a trainer, which is great, and keeps me motivated.”

Oh yes, Fergie and Gwyneth Paltrow look stunning as always, we know that the two take great care in eating properly and exercising but now we’ve discovered that the two beauties also get some help through dietary supplements.  The Beverly Hills skin specialist, Sonya Dakar, known for telling her clients that great skin starts with a healthy body, has just released an FDA-approved supplement collection called Beauty Boot Camp.

Fergie takes the Ultima Power shake mixes which is micronutrient-fortified, rich in protein and promotes fat loss and muscle gain.  As for Gwyneth Paltrow she likes the Perfect Women multivitamin packs which have Omega-3 and vitamins that will balance hormones, support energy levels and keep the metabolism steady.  Keep in mind that Fergie’s shakes are $59 for a 14-day supply and Gwyneth’s vitamin packs are $98 a month.  So unless you’ve got the job to pay for these costly supplements it’s best to stick with drinking loads of water and sweating out all of those toxins at the gym; you’ll still get great skin and be healthy.

Fergie always looks fabulous, or do we say ‘fergilicious’?  The singing sensation aka Stacy Ferguson is on the cover of Allure magazine for the upcoming issue.  In the interview she discusses love, success in Hollywood and her fitness habits.  Normally we see her on stage with rock-hard abs but she did go through some changes when she put on 17 pounds to star in the musical adaptation Nine where she played the role of Saraghina, an old-world prostitute.  During that time while she was bigger the paparazzi wrongly thought she was pregnant, she explained,

“If I don’t do sit-ups, my stomach sticks out.”

Fergie said she had fun ‘eating her brains out’ with costar Penelope Cruz but once it was time to lose the weight it was a little challenging:

“It was a very gradual thing,” she tells Allure. “I didn’t want to be told what to do, and I wasn’t mentally ready to crack the whip.”

However, before the latest Black Eyed Peas album called The E.N.D. came out in June, she started using her husband’s trainer several times a week to get back in shape.  At the same time she mentioned she wasn’t too worried about it:

“I’m not afraid to show my flaws, and I’m not going to try to be perfect.”

Last week, Fergie launched her new shoe line called Brown Shoe, at Nordstrom Department Store in Los Angeles.  Needless to say, she looked Fergie-Fabulous!  As you recall, she had to gain approximately 15 pounds last year for her role in the movie Nine, and it has taken awhile for her to get the weight off.  But it seems that since she married Josh Duhamel in January she is back on track and happier and healthier than ever.  She told In Touch Weekly Magazine,

“I’m finally back to the weight that I was before the film. It’s taken me forever!  I have a trainer. I started doing it myself. I didn’t lose all of it for the wedding, but I fit into my dress, so I was happy. Now I’m just trying to sculpt and get ready for the tour, get my stamina up.”

Apart from her new svelte body, she also has a new look.  She said,

“I’ve never been a brunette.  I’m married, I’m coming back with the Black Eyed Peas – I wanted to do something different.”

As for Fergie’s plans with new husband Josh, she says she won’t be thinking about babies until after the tour.

It’s a well-known fact the Fergie and Matthew McConaughey are two Hollywood celebrities that lead active lifestyles and strive to stay fit.  Now it seems that the pair has something more in common than being noted as public exercises and joggers.  According to People Magazine, they also are both fans of the drink Activate.

Activate is a purified water infused with a vitamin and mineral blend.  It’s reported that when vitamins sit in water for too long they lose their potency, so the beverage company worked around that issue by designing a unique cap that stores the vitamins.  Each time the cap is twisted open, vitamins drop from the cap into the water.  Activate is a five-calorie drink and comes in four different formulas:

Vitamin = Fruit punch

Immunity = Orange

Antioxidant = Berry

Energy = Lemon lime

Other things to note are that this new energy drink does contain caffeine, the sugar substitute Splenda, and has no gluten.

Celebrity Diet Doctor Weigh in…
Results of large scale studies with vitamin supplementation have been largely disappointing. In fact, vitamin supplementation has shown possible harm to human health. While vitamin supplemented waters and drinks have a nice marketing ring to them, I highly doubt that they will improve your health in any meaningful way. However, I am sure these products will be highly successful from a marketing angle offering customers the illusion of health… but make no mistake the majority of your vitamins and nutrition should come from whole unprocessed foods.

Fergie, the pop diva with the international sensation Black-Eyed Peas, had to gain weight for her soon to be released movie, “Nine.” Normally, you can always find the fabulous Fergie out running or walking her dog, as she is prone to gaining weight and has to be careful. However, for her role as a prostitute in “Nine” she packed on 13 pounds and decided to live it up by eating anything and everything during filming and eliminating exercise from her daily routine.

But now that filming has been finalized she’s back on track with Diet Designs. Diet Designs owner, Carrie Wiatts, has been a long time chef and nutritionist to Fergie and other celebrities. Diet Designs prepares personally proportioned nutritious meals and delivers them to your home. To get back on track, Fergie will most likely work with her trainer Natasha Kufa and do a well-rounded routine of cardio, running as well as her weight training and yoga.

I have always said one of the keys to successful weight loss is having a plan. Fergie, lead singer of the band Black Eyed Peas, follows in the footsteps of fellow celebs Ricki Lake and Janet Jackson by using a food delivery service to stay on plan. The 5 foot 4 inch singer lost 20 lbs on a personalized meal plan created by her nutritionist, Carrie Wiatt of Diet Designs.

Fergie’s Diet Plan
The overall diet philosophy for Fergie is pure food, nothing processed, organic when possible and portion control. She grazes every 3 hours on healthy snacks to keep her metabolism up. Here’s a typical menu for Fergie, courtesy of Life and Style mag.

Breakfast Fergie begins her day with a six-egg-white veggie omelet, seasoned with salsa or hot sauce. A smart start on the go? Pack two slices of 100-percent whole-grain toast with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.

Midday Snack Fergie’s go-to munchie? Light organic cheese (like a mozzarella stick or 1 ounce of Jarlsberg Lite) and rice crackers with flaxseed. (You can eat eight!) She never goes anywhere without first tucking Kashi bars into her purse.

Mid-A.M. Bite Top 4 ounces of low-fat or no-fat plain organic yogurt with 2 tablespoons of low-sugar granola (such as Bear Naked). “It’s low in sugar and has protein,” says Fergie’s nutritionist, Carrie Wiatt, who suggests pairing it with a bowl of fiber-filled berries. (Cottage cheese makes a great yogurt alternative.)

Pre-Supper Nosh Wiatt whips up a pureed vegetable soup — sans cream. At only 50 calories per cup, the small indulgence is super filling. Other light treats? Carrots dipped in 2 tablespoons of hummus, a cup of air-popped popcorn or almonds.

Lunch A Fergie fave? Mixed greens, a quarter of an avocado, 4 ounces of shredded chicken (for protein) and half an antioxidant-rich grapefruit, all tossed with a nonfat dressing. (The same ingredients can be rolled into a 100-percent whole-grain tortilla.)

Dinner Fergie eats salmon (rich in Omega-3’s) and half a cup of whole-wheat couscous. She piles on 2 cups of veggies and adds 2 tablespoons of chili sauce or honey Dijon mustard for flavor. (Grilled balsamic chicken, brown rice and a side of sautéed spinach is another great dinner option.)

Fergie’s is feeling good about her diet,

“I’ve grown into loving who I am,” she recently said. “Even though there are always things you want to change, I still feel good about myself because I know I’m doing everything in my power to be healthy.”

I am a fan of a food delivery service, because it’s a no brainer. You avoid temptation by sticking with the planned meals and not eating out. Follow the food menu, and the weight loss is automatic. It works for Fergie and it can work for you…
