How to get a body like Kelly Ripa

I was thinking back today when I first started to become interested in fitness years ago. The first person that came to mind that had inspired me was Kelly Ripa. At the time she went through a whole transformation after being pregnant (she has 3 kids, mind you) then all of a sudden I saw her body lean and so ridiculously toned! Okay so she is an actress and has all the resources like a trainer, chef etc..but that did not deter me from my goal of wanting to be fit like her. She is the same built as I am but she has no evidence of any fat in that little body!!
I got a trainer and I remember him asking me: "So what is your goal?" Keep in mind that it is helpful to have a realistic goal. And since Kelly and I are the same petite build I said " I want to be like Kelly Ripa. Toned arms, fit and a 6 pack." After meeting that goal within 3 months, strict diet, dedication to the gym, my goal had evolved into something a little more muscular than her.
Kelly's fitness and diet involves:
- Running 4-5 times a week from 3 to 5 miles
- Physique 57 which is a ballet toning class in NYC
- She has a personal chef who cooks lean proteins like fish or steak and plenty of vegetables
- Her meals are cut into small portions to keep her metabolism throughout the day.

This could be a lot of work for someone who has no experience in fitness at all but don't give up. I am just an average woman who works in the corporate world and trust me there is a way around all of this if you truly are dedicated. Feel free to email me and ask me anything from a friend to another and I will answer them the best I can. Now if I could just find out where she shops..Kelly has such great fashion taste and trendy petite fashion is so hard to find!

It's Been a While!

It has been sooo, sooo long since my last entry. Things have been busy, I've started my job search and also applied for a lateral move in my company. Work is a complete bore. I am now a member of Equinox gym and I go to the 43rd and 5th location after work. It's been about a month that I've gone and I am slowly adjusting to this gym. I will talk about this during another time since I have quite a lot to say about Equinox.
My trip to Mexico is about 3 weeks away and I am in dire need to look my best so I've been training extremely hard and even adding new exercises here and there. Thanks to Bodybuilding.com . This site is extremely helpful when it comes to anything that involves fitness and bodybuilding. It has a section called bodyspace where you can post your photos and monitor your progress. This specific part of the site really motivates me since I see the most chiseled and fit bodies I've ever seen. I am inspired how people have taken their fitness to astronomical levels. WOW!
I should be able to continue this blog and make sure I share it with everyone. I have not gotten the chance to care for it as much as I can. Hopefully this blog can start many dialogs and attract the like or maybe even inspire some people.
