Natasha Henstridge, the genetically-altered alien/human from the Species triology, recently spoke out about dieting, diet pills and what she had to do to keep her out-of-this-world physique.  The 34-year-old said,

“I’ve done some things that probably weren’t the smartest things in the world.  I’ve even been to Chinese herbalists who’ve given me herbs and acupuncture.  That sounds healthy and then you realize, what the hell is in the stuff?  And people glamorize the whole thing because you’re thinner and you’ve been doing this [bad] stuff to your body.”

She has since realized that diet pills and quick fix supplements are damaging.  Although now she has a much curvier figure she is healthier and happier than she was back in the Species days.

“All of a sudden when you decide to go clean, things are changing in your body because you’ve done a bit of damage,” she says. “My body has definitely gone through a change since coming off all the crazy yo-yo stuff, it was eye-opening.”

Now days, Natasha goes mountain biking and does intense cardio and weight training boot camp at Pulse Fitness in Sherman Oaks, Calfornia.

Be sure to look out for her new ABC TV movie, Impact.

It seems like more and more stars are getting into the ’swing’ of things as they continue to get caught in the act soaring overhead with the greatest of ease.  In previous posts we have mentioned that stars like Mischa Barton, Molly Sims and Amy Winehouse enjoy the trapeze-style workout and now as we see here, Kim Kardashian has given it a try too.

The reality star was recently spotted at Jukari Fitness Studio in Los Angles where she tried a customized workout that was created by Reebok and Cirque du Soleil.  The workout, called Jukari Fit to Fly, is a workout especially designed for women that fuses the creative and artistic appeal of Cirque du Soleil with the fitness expertise of Reebok.  While there, it appeared that Kim had a good time and she told the trainers she would like to bring her sisters along so that they could give it a try also.

He flies through the air with the greatest of ease, the daring young man on the flying trapeze. No, it’s not that daring young man, this time it’s Molly Sims and Mischa Barton as they are apparently working on their new circus careers! According to People Magazine the two actresses have recently taken a new class that is gaining popularity in Los Angeles that looks a lot like the works of a trapeze artist.

The class, called JUKARI Fit to Fly, was created by Reebok and the  makers of the world famous dance troupe, Cirque du Soleil.  During the hour long class you get a total body workout and all the while you get the sensation of flying!  The workout strengthens and lengthens the body through balance and core training on a trapeze-like bar. Molly said,

“It was an unexpected, completely new experience.”

However, it seems that JUKIARI Fit to Fly is a tad behind the times.  You Sex and the City fans probably remember that Sarah Jessica Parker did some trapeze flying on the series years ago in New York.  Perhaps it’s just now making its way to California?
