Britney Spears Workout Routine and Diet

“I don’t like defining myself. I just am.” –Britney Spears

Britney Spears is one of my favorite female celebs of all time.

I want to profile the Britney Spears workout routine and diet for a couple of reasons. First, she’s turning 30 this year (hard to believe, right?) and has never looked better. Not to mention she has two kids. Second, she didn’t always look this good. She has had some highly publicized issues with weight gain in the past, but has since overcome them and gotten back into phenomenal shape. This is important because a lot of readers can identify with this. Many of the celebrity routines I have reviewed display a near flawless lifestyle from the beginning. It’s not always like that for everyone.

Britney Spears' journey reflects some of the more "real life" struggles everyday people face with weight loss.

Back in 2007, Britney struggled with binge eating. Continue reading →

Victoria Beckham Workout Routine and Diet

“I’m not a supermodel. I make the best of what I’ve got. I work out to look the best that I can, but I’m no Gisele.” –Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham is more than just a former Spice Girl.

She is a fitness icon for women everywhere. Her slim, toned look is a testament to her dedication to fitness and at age 36, she is still a role model for women of all ages. What’s her secret? Well, it’s definitely not dancing on stage or kicking around a soccer ball. Like other celebs with great bodies, it simply comes down to a solid workout routine and a sensible eating plan. The Victoria Beckham workout routine and diet is no exception.

Shia LaBeouf Workout Routine and Diet

“You don’t want to be standing next to Harrison Ford and not be jacked also.” –Shia LaBeouf

Shia LaBeouf is an interesting character.

He got his start playing a bratty kid brother on the hit Disney Channel show, Even Stevens. Now, he’s one of the biggest male celebrity names out there. His transformation from geeky kid to Hollywood star is the result of some big roles in popular movies such as Transformers and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. However, he has also undergone a physical transformation. For his character in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, he got jacked and has maintained his physique over the past couple of years for his role in this summer’s third Transformers movie: Dark of the Moon.

LaBeouf put on about 15 lbs of muscle for his role in Indiana Jones. Continue reading →

Matthew Morrison Workout Routine and Diet

“I’ve always wanted to be the villain. I usually don’t get that opportunity, because I have a certain look that labels me as the ‘heartthrob’ or whatever.” –Matthew Morrison

I’m not a big fan of musicals, but my mom and a lot of my friends love the show Glee.

When I was spending time with my parents last month, I got the opportunity to watch a couple of episodes. Again, the whole singing and dancing routine isn’t really my thing. Fitness, on the other hand, is my thing. So whenever I see a ripped dude, I want to know how they train and eat. Prior to watching Glee, I had no idea who Matthew Morrison was. On the show, Morrison plays Will Schuester, the director of the glee club at William McKinley high school. While he may teach song and dance on camera, in real life, he can teach everyone a thing or two about fitness because he is in phenomenal shape. Just check out some of the pics below. When I saw these, I had to uncover some information on the Matthew Morrison workout routine and diet.

Tiger Woods Workout Routine and Diet

“No matter how good you get you can always get better and that’s the exciting part.” – Tiger Woods

Notice the ideal V-shape build.

Tiger Woods is more than just a golfer.

He is an amazing athlete. In fact, he is one of the fittest athletes on the planet. Sure he’s endured his share of criticism lately. But whether you love him or hate him, one fact is undeniable. This guy is in ridiculously good shape. One of his keys to success on the golf course is his dedication to fitness. In one of the only sports where overweight people can actually compete at the highest level and experience great success, Tiger leaves nothing to chance. He uses his fitness to give himself a competitive edge. Tiger Woods’ workout routine consists of cardio, strength training, and flexibility training. Not to mention his diet is pretty spot on.

Tiger Woods does cardio first thing in the morning. Continue reading →

The Jersey Shore Workout is More Than Just Working Out

“Big is out, thin is in.” – Mike Sorrentino (aka “The Situation”)

How are the Jersey Shore guys so ripped?

Is there a secret Jersey Shore workout that will get you a six pack? With the highly anticipated second season fast approaching, I thought I’d put up a short post to offer up my two cents. My theory is that it goes far beyond what they do in the gym. Anyone who has seen Jersey Shore knows how ripped the dudes are. But how? After all, these guys are constantly gorging themselves on high-carb Italian feasts, funnel cakes, 2am pizza, and a seemingly endless supply of booze. They aren’t exactly beacons of good health. So how do you explain their top notch physical condition? The answer is very simple. Two words: calorie deficit.

Soccer Workouts for Ultimate Fitness

“We lost because we didn’t win.” –Ronaldo (Brazilian soccer player)

The World Cup is here!

The World Cup is by far my favorite event of all time. Not just my favorite sporting event, but my favorite event. It only comes around once every four years, so when it arrives, it’s truly a spectacle. The whole world (except maybe the US) stops for a month to celebrate the very best the game has to offer. Now that it’s underway, I thought it would be fitting to write a post about soccer workouts.

If you’re not yet convinced that soccer players have the best bodies of all athletes, check out this clip from my favorite TV show, Fox Football Fone-In:

The words “soccer” and “fitness” might as well be interchangeable. Continue reading →

Turn to Hollywood for Workout Inspiration

An inspirational movie may be the spark that ignites your fitness journey.

Cam Gigandet in Never Back Down

At least that was the case for me. One night in September 2009, I was lounging around on my couch flipping through channels. A few months earlier, my cable provider had cancelled the NFL network and as a consolation, they offered me the Starz movie package free for a year. This was great for me because I love movies and I never watched the NFL network to begin with. Little did I know that this promo was about to provide me with some serious workout inspiration.

So I flipped to Starz and the movie that was on immediately sparked my interest. Normally, the thing that caught my attention would have been an attractive female or a funny scene. This time, it was the exact opposite. There was nothing comedic about the scene. It was a shirtless dude about to kick another dude’s butt. Normally, I would have switched the channel right then. I’m not usually into this kind of movie. But this time, I was hooked.

The dude was Cam Gigandet and the movie was Never Back Down. Continue reading →

Astonishing Record Time in The Biggest Loser Marathon

“Unless you puke, faint or die, keep going.” – Jillian Michaels

So, I thought I’d write a post about The Biggest Loser, which has quickly become one of my favorite shows on television. Season 9 ended this past week with winner Mike Ventrella dropping an amazing 264 pounds, more than 50% of his starting weight. As impressive as this was, I was even more impressed with something else that happened on the show: The Biggest Loser Marathon.
