FitSugar — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 00:00:00 -0700

InTouch recently rated the hottest beach bodies from our favorite starlets, but I have realized that you guys are not always in agreement with how the glossies rate celebrity beach bodies. So I am wondering what order you would put them in, here are the ten women (in no particular order):

Cameron Diaz
Denise Richards
Drew Barrymore
Jessica Biel
Jessica Alba
Kate Bosworth
Kate Hudson
Michelle Rodriguez
Tyra Banks
Vanessa Minnillo

Rate them in order from best to worst (one being your favorite body, ten being your least favorite) beach body in the comments section below. To see how InTouch ranked 'em, read more

Kate Hudson: At Peace in a Two Piece

FitSugar — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 12:24:43 -0800

Kate Hudson, who's been under pregnancy watch for some time now, has no problem strutting around in a bikini. Perhaps she signed the Body Peace Project, but Kate seems to be totally at peace with her own body image. Or at least that is what she recently told Total Film magazine about her role in Fool's Gold. Here's more:

"I've danced my whole life, I work out all the time and I'm not worried about being totally perfect.

[My character is] a diver, so I'm not wearing this tiny string bikini; they're more the Speedo-type bikini – you know, the ones that cover pretty much everything."

What about you guys? Bathing suit season is just around the corner, so are you too worried about being perfect to wear a bathing suit or will you rock your suit no matter what?

Move It at Home: Crunch Bikini Body - DVD

FitSugar — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 09:30:00 -0700

After my outside jog last night, I tried out the Bikini Body DVD ($12.99) from Crunch that promises sleek abs, toned thighs and a firm bikini butt.

Let me just preface this review by saying I am a hard sell when it comes to home workouts. The DVD is broken up into 4 parts, the whole workout (30 mins), just the abs (10 mins), just the thighs (10 mins) and just the butt (10 mins). I like that you can navigate directly to certain spots if you want to train just one body part using the video, or if you only have 10 minutes to squeeze in a quick workout. I started with the full workout and was a bit turned off with the busy camera work in the intro, but luckily all that stopped as the workout began.

The music was typical Crunch style, high energy and a little cheesy but it does pump you up. The workouts are done as if you're learning a dance routine -- You start with the first exercise and add on as you go along to complete a set of 5-6 exercises, all the way through, in the end. All you need to complete the workout is yourself and a DVD player, so no worries if you don't have dumbbells or exercise balls at home. The actual moves, if you can get past the added "sexiness" you're asked to bring to simple moves like squats and lunges, were good and challenging and I did feel like I got a decent workout. My heart rate was up most of the time, which I appreciated.

My husband has a blast watching (and laughing at) me do this one, so if you're looking to add a little sex pot to your routine, this bikini workout is for you. Me personally, I just felt ridiculous, but I will say that I had fun for the entire 30 minutes. Would I do it everyday? No way José, but I would definitely consider doing it every once in a while. To check it out for yourself, buy it from Amazon.com.

Eva Rallies Engines in Her Bikini For a Good Cause

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:00:36 -0800

Eva Longoria kept her bikini body under wraps over the weekend as she hit the beach in Miami. She joined friends at the Eden Roc Renaissance hotel in a sparkly two-piece, though she kept her famous figure covered with either a towel or her long-sleeved shirt. Eva was in Miami for Saturday's ''Rally For Kids With Cancer," which saw the actress don a variety of funny outfits to entertain children during the philanthropic event. We didn't get our usual dose of Eva as Gaby Solis on Desperate Housewives last night due to the American Music Awards, but next week's episode looks like it can't be missed.

Julia Roberts returned to LA this week after a month of filming in Bali on the set Eat, Pray, Love. Julia's jogging routine may be responsible for her impressive bikini body we got a glimpse of last month when she took a dip in the ocean with costar Javier Bardem. The pair has parted ways for now, but hopefully we'll see more of Bardem in the coming month as girlfriend -and rumored fiance- Penelope Cruz promotes Nine.

Fab Body Guide, Part Three: The Ideal Swimsuit For Your Special Quirks

FabSugar — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:00:22 -0700

We all have our special quirks. Some of us are self-conscious about having broad shoulders or maybe still working on that tummy. Don't fret, there are a lot of options to choose from to camouflage the areas you feel funny about and compliment the parts you love. Fab's here to help you find that perfect swimsuit.

To learn what kind of suits are best for broad shoulders, wide hips, the tummy conscious, and more, read more.

Broad Shoulders: While adding a pop of color, bright, wide banded bottoms will also balance and detract attention to shoulders. Avoid creating a v-neck silhouette by opting for a square neck top.
Athletic Shape: Show off a boyish figure in a halter top with feminine detailing. Prints, ruffles and side ties will add some girly curves and avoid wearing plain and solid suits.
Tummy Conscious: Tankinis and retro swimsuits can work wonders for the tummy conscious. Both styles conceal the tummy area and are fashionably cute. Stay away from solid colors and tiny bikinis.
Wide Hips: Darker bottoms paired with lighter bikini tops will detract attention from the lower half of the body. Make sure to buy a close fitting bottom to avoid adding unwanted volume to the hip area.
