I love, love, love “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!”  I am not a reality T.V. watcher, in fact, I usually hate it.  However, the Real Housewives of BH seem to take the “trashy” out of reality and introduce an in depth look at the upper crust.  I also feel that most of the characters are refreshingly normal and down to earth despite their zip code.

It’s not a huge secret, these women are gorgeous!  They all look fab and we want to know how they keep up appearances.  Here is a glimpse into the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills perspectives on diet and exercise.

 Lisa Vanderpump – Workout Routine 

Taylor Armstrong –   Workout Routine

Adrienne Maloof – Workout Routine

Brandi’s Workout Routine

Kyle Richards –  Workout Routine

Camille Grammer –  Workout Routine

We couldn’t find a video of Camille on Bravo’s site but we did find this awesome info.

In her free time, Camille also likes to stay active. The reality star sipped on zero calorie Omega Water and picked up some Zone energy bars while she was at the event, giving us some insight into how she stays so amazingly slim.

“I have been hiking a lot,” said Camille. “I love to paddleboard. I do some weight training. I like to dance. I stay active and try to work out at least 15 minutes a day.”

As for her diet, Camille said it’s a matter of circumstance.

“I call it the divorce diet,” she joked. “No, I have good genes and I stick to a protein, low carbs, and a lot of veggies.”

Still, she’s not one to rule out guilty pleasures.

“I’ve been eating a lot of Phish Food from Ben & Jerry’s and I love Sprinkles cupcakes,” Camille told us.(source)

 

We can guess that their are a lot of details left out of these clips.  However, it’s nice to have a glimpse into their diet and exercise.  If you love the housewives of Beverly Hills as much as I do, send this and share this with your friends!

    The hugely popular weight loss reality show, “The Biggest Loser,” has begun it’s new season in the new year.  However, this time the show wasn’t shot with the ever familiar 24 Hour Fitness logos  in the background, on the dumbbells and plastered on various tools such as the bodybugg.  A new sponsor, “Planet Fitness,”  has inserted there never before seen commercials (at least by me) into the slots of the old advertisements.

While it’s unknown exactly why this took place after so many year on board with 24 Hour Fitness, these new gyms are sweeping the nation in the same way that 24 Hour Fitness did several years ago.

What Is Planet Fitness???  

Founded in 1992 in Dover, N.H. , Planet Fitness is now the fastest-growing gym franchise in the United States , and has revolutionized the industry with a combination of extremely low prices and a unique, friendly, and hassle-free environment called the Judgement Free Zone®.

Planet Fitness, which will open its 500th location this month, has 3.5 million members and is poised to become the largest gym operator in the world in 2012. The company opened more than 100 new locations in 2011, its biggest year ever.

Inside Planet Fitness

Planet Fitness prides itself on giving people an unbeatable value – top-notch facilities at extremely low prices, and an atmosphere that focuses on the needs of occasional or first-time club members, rather than hard-core fitness fanatics. All Planet Fitness gyms feature a huge selection of brand-name cardio and strength equipment, and provide free and unlimited fitness instruction with all memberships.

I’ve been told by a friend and member of Planet Fitness, that if someone is grunting, making tons of noise, or disturbing the atmosphere, they ring a bell and the person is escorted out.  I was dying laughing!!!  If they were to enforce this at my current gym the bell would be going off every 20-30 minutes!

Trading Up??

The logo of the company says it all, “The Judgement Free Zone,”  however the gyms have mixed reviews online.  While some love the $10.00 per month rates, others miss their add- ons such as the pools, sauna, Zumba, kickboxing, and other group fitness classes.   At such a low rate, you get what you pay for.  Gym members will have to decide what features are most important to them as an individual.

If you know someone who’s on a budget, and detests the intimidating atmosphere of a regular gym, send them this fit tip article using the email or print options at the bottom of the page.

It’s 2012 and everyone has decided to get a running start with their new years resolutions.  The fitness indusrty is selling tons of equipment, memberships sales are soring, and fitness atire is selling out left and right.  While money does make the world go round it doesn’t have anything to do with your internal chemistry.  You can’t buy a new metabolism, instead you have to treat it like a child and remember to feed, it help it grow and keep track of it as it ages.  Here are our Fit Tip recomendations for losing that body fat with a firey inferno which will soon be your metabolism!

• Feed It !  All those who have been starving themselves to lose weight… STOP IT!  You must feed your metabolism to lose.  Eat small frequent meals to keep the furnace burning at a steady pace!

• Nourish it – You must take your vitamins!  Without the proper vitamins your body will crave.  In this carving state it’s easy to over indulge and bindge on excess food.  Your body also tends to store more fat without enough vitamins because it thinks that you are starving (in a sense).
• Beef It Up – No not  you  Your protein intake!  Protein helps to level your blood sugar and feed the muscle that helps keep the flame of your metabolism burning bright.   Make sure you are intaking protein at each meal!

• Break A Sweat!   The best advice I ever heard was strangely enough for an actor.  Mathew Mcconaughey is quoted as saying, “I try to do something to break a sweat each day.”  Awesome information!  Make that a goal for yourself.  Each time you get to the point of breaking a sweat you have turned up the dial on your fat burning furnace.  Once it’s increased it stays at a higher rate for the rest of the day.
• Get The Right Kinds Of Fat –  Sure as a society we love our fat, however, few of us are focusing on what type!  Omega fats actually help your body lose.  They regenerate your mind and  help to increase your healthy cholesterol.

• Boil Your Fat Away – Water isn’t just to make you feel full, it’s also allows your body to literally burn off fat.  Without enough water in your system you can not reach a hot enough  temperature to burn fat.  So suck down that water!

People are under the assumption that they need pills similar to legal speed in order to increase their metabolism.  If you follow our fitness tips above you can change your body, improve your health, and start winning the weight loss war!

We have seen Janet struggle through the years with her weight.  In the most recent ad for Nutrisystem, Jackson seems to open up to the audience.

“What’s so funny, and can be so frustrating is that we all want success, and we all want to be happy, but what stops me is when I don’t have a plan,” Janet explains in the ad. “I understand what it’s like to have weight issues. I’ve dealt with it all my life.”

I was luck enough to see Janet’s last concert.  It became clear to me that her physical fitness wasn’t the issue with her ongoing weight problems.  The concert it’s self was like one long cardio routine.  Jackson moved as if she was still in her twenties!  As a trainer, I know that exercise is only part of the battle, food is the other 80%.

Janet outlines that part of her struggle with her weight is based on having a “Plan…

“There is a secret to success. It’s very simple. You can’t wish for what you want, hope for what you want, just dream about what you want. You have to have a plan, and then you have to get on it,” she concludes.

 

Her interview on “The Today Show,” revealed that her poor body image stemmed from the early 70′s while on the show “Good Times.”
