For the last 10 years, celeb trainer Harley Pasternak has worked hard on his ever-evolving 5 Factor philosophy of diet and exercise. And people are listening: Lady Gaga, Eva Mendes, and Mandy Moore are just a few of the celebs who have all turned to him for their fitness needs. The 5 Factor exercise regimen is tailor-made for busy individuals too.
Harley Pasternak is a busy guy. In about the span of a week, he left his training duties on the Lady Gaga tour in Europe, headed home to LA to see 10 clients, and then crossed the Pacific to Hawaii for two more. When I finally caught up with him in Tampa, he was already planning his departure to Toronto, his childhood home.
I predict that 2010 will be the year Jillian Michaels becomes a household name, if she isn't already. The latest season of The Biggest Loser begins on Jan. 5 (that's tomorrow in case you hope to catch the season premiere) and her new one woman lifestyle makeover reality show will premiere later this Spring.
It's no secret that Michelle and President Obama are one fit couple. If you're wondering how they stay in shape with such a demanding lifestyle and with a personal pastry chef living under the same roof, the first lady has offered some tips in a recent issue of Prevention magazine.
If you can get past the wild outfits, ambitious hairstyles, and off-the-wall makeup, you'll find that Lady Gaga has a pretty rockin' bod. It's no surprise either — I mean, have you seen her live performances? The pop star sings her way through tightly choreographed dance sequences that require a tremendous amount of endurance, strength, and flexibility.
I was lucky enough to talk to celeb trainer Harley Pasternak, who shared a tip that seems perfect for the weekend. Harley says that the singular, most important piece of fitness advice he can offer someone is, "get a great pair of running shoes." On top of that, Harley says that you should always be wearing them, always.
Beyonce Knowles was in downtown Brooklyn yesterday to see Jay-Z help break ground on the Barclays Center, which will be the future home of the Nets basketball team. It was a stop in Jay-Z's busy schedule, which included a few sold-out stadium shows last week before another in Boston last night. He and Beyonce also managed to fit in a visit to the White House.
The 2010 Oscars red carpet was divided. How so? A handful of ladies opted for structured, fitted dresses, while others chose voluminous gowns that took up major room.
The ladies looked glamorous on the red carpet at the Oscars, with an ivory-dressed Diane Kruger leading the way in her Chanel gown. She told us she couldn't figure out what exactly to wear, so Karl Lagerfeld just sent her the dress and she loved it! Kate Winslet went metallic in YSL, while Oscar winner Sandra Bullock fit with the evening's color scheme in gold Marchesa.
