Want a Girlfriend? Work your core!

The news is in - women prefer men with six-packs.  Here's why:

A little excess midriff chub now means one fat, sloppy bastard in 10 years.  Biceps the size of bowling balls?  That's nice, but if you've got the beginnings of a gut, any discriminating woman will think twice before considering you boyfriend material.

So our mission is clear.  Do cardio to lower your body fat, then get going on the mountain climbers!

Yoga Abs are long and sleek

If you want a long, sleek torso look to yoga!

Zac Effron has changed for the better

Zack Effron has put on 18lbs of pure muscle getting ready for his new drama The Lucky One. 

 

Increasing muscle mass changes our metabolism, and changes our appearance. Change is good!  

If we confine ourselves to one life role, no matter how pleasant it seems at first, we starve emotionally and psychologically. We need a change and balance in our daily lives....Faye J. Crosby (20th century), U.S. professor

Jessica Alba - no excuses here

You would never guess that Jessica Alba is a mom!

She whipped herself into shape after giving birth and so can you.  Just make sure to go to the gym and do lots of double leg raises and hip thrusts.  A good workout program is like a natural tummy tuck - but only if you do it.

Iconic David Beckham

Everyone knows that David Beckham's abs are gorgeous in the Armani underware abs...oops I mean ads.  It looks like his skin is shrink-wrapped onto his abdomen.  But is it real or the fortunate effect of camera angles and lighting?

The verdict?

REAL

In fact I would say that Beckham's abdominal muscles are even more inspiring in real life than in the photos.

Celebs GET IN SHAPE!

So, the idea is that celebrities should inspire us right?  They have access to personal trainers, top chefs, elite beauty regimens etc... But sometimes it's more ughhhh than ooooh.

Today let's look at two lovely ladies on People Magazine's Top 25 Celebrity Hot List.  Khloé Kardashian and Lady Gaga.  We love them they're wonderful, but sometimes we wish that they would wear a sweater.

Here's a picture of Lady Gaga in concert, baring that midriff.  She's definitely thin, but nowhere near ripped.  Prescription: lots of planks and bicycles needed here to increase muscle definition and sculpt her torso.

 

Now take a look at Khloé Kardashian.   She's strong, she's healthy...but perhaps a little hefty?  Prescription: cardio!  Tabata training or fat burning doesn't matter much, what's important is that some calories need to get burnt!

 

COME ON CELEBS...WE COUNT ON YOU FOR INSPIRATION
