Intrigued by fitness, I’m always looking to learn new ways to keep my body in shape so I sought out Will Torres, the Founder of willspace, a personal training studio in NYC. He has a new, intense class starting in January that I’m determined to conquer (hear more about it after the jump), and gave me some great tips on the most important exercises for women and how to stay fit during the holidays. Check them out.
If there’s one thing I learned from working with stylists it’s not to compare yourself to others and show off your best asset. Most of us spend too much time worrying about our flaws and not enough time playing up our favorite features. Whenever I have a TV segment or a shoot, nine times out of ten I wear something sleeveless, because I like to show off my arms. Why? Because I work hard on keeping them sculpted and they’re much more toned than my legs. Truth. Ready to go sleeveless? Here’s my how to…
In the middle of getting her eye makeup done backstage at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Lily Aldridge took a minute out to tell me about her new baby girl, Dixie Pearl, who she had just four months before.

Seriously? Being one who works my *ss off to stay toned without kids I had to know what she was doing.
Over the summer I read a headline that stated, “Sweat Is Fat Crying” and it truly resonated with me. Even though I sweat each time I work out, I hate it and automatically want to stop doing what I’m doing as I’d rather be glistening. The addiction to the high I get each time I get lost in the vocals that penetrate through the house music coming out of my head phones and my muscles start to burn however, makes the sweat all worth it. Toxins, pouring out of my body. If you really want to sweat and tone up, I recommend trying a high/low cardio work out. Here’s why:
One of my guiltiest pleasures is ice cream. Are you with me? I have to have it several times a week (having a BF who loves it just as much doesn’t help either). Gross? Probably, but I work it off! My ice cream addiction now makes sense thanks to a recent study that compares your brain on ice cream to your brain on drugs. I’m not kidding. From now on I’m going to “Just Say No” to another scoop and found a new solution… check out the video below. It just may help you too!
