Today I got some gossip and celeb stuff for a change! This blog is about running and advice on best training techniques, a runners diet, motivation and positive effects of running. I think I’ve succeeded so far to convince some of you to at least get a little bit interest in the sports of running ;-) Today’s post is nice to look at as well as getting to know which celebrities you might meet when – maybe some day – going for a run in L.A. or somewhere comparable.
No matter if you like running or not, there’s no denying that running does a body good. It’s the easiest and quickest way to work out – that’s only one reason why many US-celebrities love running to stay in red-carpet shape. Event though most of them could afford a personal trainer, access to the best gyms and fitness equipment, many celebs prefer running outside – along the beach, in the park, on the streets.
In addition to being cost-effective and a great way to stay in shape, it’s easy and it’s fun! No wonder it’s the exercise of choice for many Hollywood stars. Especially female celebrities enjoy running. But men do as well: Apart from famous soccer players, who’s part of the job is running, there are other male celebrities, who run on a regular basis to keep them fit, such as Matthew McConaughey for instance.
Their fame and the next role of “a super fit hot chic” or “an action hero” is probably a big motivation factor for many of the VIPs. I know, you don’t have to exercise for your next million-dollar-role, but if you need some facts and incentives to get you on track, check out my post of November 20th about motivating factors.
These stars stay in shape with the simplest workout: running
This rock chic frequently hits the beach in Malibu for runs. Running on sand offers a more challenging workout – and Pink's body proofs positively that it's working.
The singer is a big fan of outdoor workouts like running, as well as tennis and surfing.
In 2007, actress Katie Holmes finished a goal that many runners never get the chance to accomplish: the New York City Marathon. After months of training Katie finished the run with a time of 5:29:58.
REESE WITHERSPOON
Actress Reese Witherspoon is often seen running through her Californian neighbourhood. She's not a shabby runner, either – Reese is a midfoot striker, which shows pretty good running technique.
Aniston has long been an active runner. The 43-year-old actress still has one of the hottest bodies in the show biz. Lately Aniston told the Daily Mirror that "It's simple! I run, work out every day."
In the last two years, singer Alanis Morissette has become quite the runner, and has even turned her passion for running towards a good cause. In 2009, she completed the Bizz Johnson Trail Marathon and the New York City Marathon in the name of charity.
Fergie's driving factor for running up and down the challenging hills of Los Angeles are the spectacular views, which include the iconic Hollywood sign.
Slipping into her sneakers to keep her enviable body looking fabulous. A topmodel body doesn’t look like it does without a reason. The former Victoria's Secret Angel runs on a regular basis to complement her workouts with star personal trainer David Kirsch.
The actor keeps fit with challenging running workouts. He is probably one of the US stars known for his hot body and passion for all sorts of sports. Lately his colleague Zac Efron called him “the running machine” in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres.
Reading his name, seeing his picture probably reminds you of Jackman’s steeled body in his role as Wolverine (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, 2009). The body of the Australian actor is the result of hard workouts. Many younger actors envy their 44-year-old colleague – and deservedly so!
Maybe not VIP-like, but here is my run of the week (only one due to snow covered and frozen tracks):
Tuesday, 11th December 2012:
“No fun today as the tracks was slippery, frozen and covered with snow”
