Britney Spears and Paris Hilton Set New Fitness Trend


Okay divas, what exactly do we mean that Britney Spears and Paris Hilton are setting a new fitness trend? Since getting fit is on every diva's mind for the new year, consider a recent article in 'Fitness' magazine about what women would be willing to do to lose those extra pounds (by the way, I love 'Fitness' magazine, great articles and very inspiring - check it out).

Anyway, Fitness asked 1000 women what they would do and their answers were really a surprise to me. Do you believe that 85 percent of women would take on a extra toe (looking much like Oprah Winfrey wearing sandals) and 23 percent of women would do time in the slammer just to get freedom from going to the gym (hey, why not work out at home - we've discussed that here). Get this one - 23 percent of women would actually shave their heads (I may have messed up some hairstyles over the years but getting rid of my crowning glory is just not an option) to avoid going to the gym. As you can see, Paris' days in the pokey and Britney's umbrella-wielding bald rages have definitely had an impact on divas. Since when was it better to be in jail or bald than go to the gym? Sounds like there are a lot of lazy divas to me...reason why those pounds may be packing on! Besides, who wants an extra toe when you go to that posh spa for a pedicure - now c'mon ladies!

If you hate the gym, too, you don't have to go there - average Janes (and Joes) can benefit from the Average Joe Fitness program and it sure beats being bald or getting a criminal record! I told divas about it back in September, but if you missed it, check it out now. Filled with simple ways to get fit in just a shor time at home (and no special equipment is required), it can get you on the right track for the new year - without compromising your hair, adding a toe or going to jail.
