[we ran this piece 4 years ago at inauguration time]
Since the inauguration is next week, it’s about that time to take a closer look at the soon-to-be-first-lady’s fitness regime. With workouts not her priority, she says being “mom in chief” is, Michelle trains three times a week with a personal trainer, and news reports say she does cardio on a treadmill at 4:40am. She says she tries to eat healthy most the time, and her weakness is french fries.

“I go to the gym three times a week — as often as I can, really. I work with a fabulous trainer for about an hour each session. We do a lot of cardio and weight training. For me, exercise is more than just physical — it’s therapeutic. I make it a point to get in a good work out when we’re home for a day or two between campaign trips. It’s an incredible release and a priority for me”

Michelle is also breaking tradition slightly by wearing sleeveless shirts, something she did on the campaign trail quite a lot. If you think, most political wives don’t wear sleeveless attire. We’re not ready to petition the IFBB for a pro card for her or anything, but she is in pretty good shape for a first lady.

Well before her time, screen legend Marilyn Monroe was reported to have always maintained a regime of weightlifting and regular exercise. Visitors reported finding gym equipment in the corner of her living room. At a time before running was a popular for exercise, let alone for women, Marilyn is said to have regularly partaken in early morning jogs through the back streets of Beverly Hills. Marilyn Monroe was 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighed 128 pounds.

Brigette Paroissien – Stunts from Down Under

Post Author: Lori Braun Posted on: July 13, 2012 at 12:24 am
In: Female Athletes, Stuff With: 2 Comments

“After tackling most Australian and International men’s and fitness magazines and calendars, I have strayed off in a new direction of stunt work. I still have a deep set passion in acting, and still been actively getting local roles but I have found a new calling in film stunt work. I have been pulled up for various stunt roles over the last six years while I have been on set, due to my diverse and sometimes strange sports and hobbies skills. As I am always chasing the adrenalin, I figured I may as well get a little more serious with it. Presently I am training with the “Film Industry Stunt Team” rigorously to make my grading in august.”

Gladys Portugues better known now for being the wife of action flick actor Jean-Claude Van Damme, but to many in the physique community she would be better known as a bodybuilder and for her exotic beauty.

Gladys said she saw Rachel McLish on television winning the Ms. Olympia title and was inspired to start her own bodybuilding and weight training regimen. Her best placings were 7th in the 1984 IFBB Ms. Olympia, and 8th the following year at the Olympia.

Hollywood actress and sex symbol Jessica Alba has apparently admitted to crying as her workouts were so intense. The quote below from Limelife:

Jessica Alba has admitted she “cried” while trying to work out following her daughter’s birth last year. Jessica, 28, gave birth to daughter Honor in June last year and she admitted she hated her work-out and it ended with her in tears.

Talking about how easy it was to get back into shape following Honor’s birth, she said: “No, it was really difficult getting back in shape. My workout was so horrible, I cried.”

Madonna. Too Much of a Good Thing?

I mentioned before that Madonna looks beyond fabulous for age 50, and also did so much with popularizing the “buff look” with the mainstream, more then we as bodybuilders could ever do – but somehow her latest looks aren’t really doing it for me…

The Material Girl is pictured below recently in London…

Singer Gwen Stefani showed off her chiseled abs on stage performing with her group ‘No Doubt’ in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. They look great by any standard, but more so as the 39 year old Gwen gave birth to her second child only 11 months ago. Gwen and husband, musician Gavin Rossdale are also parents to a three-year-old son.

The photo of First Lady Michelle Obama was taken at the Correspondents Dinner in Washington DC on the Saturday evening of May 9th. I recall President Obama saying “One thing we can all agree on is Michelle has the right to bear arms”
