As you read in Part I of this blog post, movie stars really are just like us when it comes to getting their workout in, and staying in shape. The preconceived notion that stars have it easier than us just isn’t true. No matter how small your space, no matter how busy you might be, and no matter what food is set out on a table in front of you, it’s in your hands to work with what you’ve got and make the best decisions for you and your body.

When you make your fitness and well being a priority, and when you make exercise a “MUST” instead of a “SHOULD”, you’ll be taking a huge step towards your success.

Check out what Rachel sent us from the set of Meskada, giving us yet another glimpse into the luxurious on set lifestyle of a movie star!

Keep in mind that when you want it bad enough, you can make it happen!

Hello!  It was tough, but I managed to get a picture of me, in my cabin, doing one of Valerie’s workouts!  I feel great.  I went for a run (approximately 3 miles) and then I came back to my cabin and and did one of Valerie’s “I Want My Bikini Body” workouts. There’s not a lot of space, but it wasn’t a problem!  Xxx, Rachel

- Gotta love the Valslides! Love, Val

Hello!
Today it rained all day…and it’s still raining.  We are shooting nights, so even though it’s 10pm I won’t get picked-up for work until 11pm and I’ll probably be shooting until 5am…such a crazy schedule. Anyway, due to the rain, I was trapped in my cabin for most of the day…aside from the two trips I made to the local WalMart and lunch at a nearby diner…the food here isn’t very healthy and although I’m usually quite good at behaving myself, I sometimes can’t fight a terrible craving.  However, I bit the bullet and bought speakers for my Mac…and had the greatest solo workout ever!  I closed the windows, blasted the heat, turned on the best rev-it-up music, and went crazy.  I also have to admit that I was partially motivated by the 5 onion rings I ate at lunch…  Xxx,  R

- Way to get back on track after the onion ring slip up! Love, Val

Fine Dining on a Movie Set

So…this was part of lunch yesterday and as we all know, grilled-cheese sandwiches are not exactly on the health food menu.  I opted for a hamburger wrapped in lettuce instead and I passed on the pasta and potato salad.  There’s usually fruit at Craft service in case I need something sweet after lunch.  It has been really tough to eat well here…I freely admit to caving-in and ordering onion rings at the diner today, but in headed out for a run in the rain and then a Valerie-crafted workout!         Xxx, R.

OK, there ARE some perks to being on a movie set!!

Hello!

…one of my co-stars…somehow he managed to get a workout in during a break on set.  I was really impressed!  It just goes to show that the opportunity to work up a sweat and get fit can present itself in even the most peculiar places.  Just grab a couple of sandbags - they are everywhere on a film set - and work those arms!  Mmm.  Xxx. -R

So, how bad do you want your Bikini Body?
