Celeb interviews

Q.You’re only 19 years old and you’re an ASP Women’s World Champ. How does that feel?
A.
I have to pinch myself all the time. I am so lucky to be where I am at in life right now. It has been a dream of mine since I was little to be a world champ so to have that goal checked off already is unbelievable.

Q.You're constantly in the water. Which surfing event do you look forward to most?
A.
I love the Roxy Pro on the Gold Coast of Australia. It is the first event of our year and the wave is just so much fun! The vibe, people and culture is amazing and there is always so much going on surrounding the event. Never a dull moment.

Q.It's no secret that you win a lot. How do you reward yourself?
A.
To celebrate I usually do something simple like a nice dinner with family and friends. But, I must admit I have done quite a bit of shopping since the season ended though, oops!

Q.You rock a bikini like a true surfer chick. Do you EVER feel insecure in swimwear or is it smooth sailing...

Q.You're the brains behind the most tried and talked about juice cleanse. What was life like before it all started?
A.

Erica: Immediately before, I was working in PR for food, wine and chef clients.  Prior to that I worked in various areas of the hospitality business—events and catering, bar & restaurant management.

Zoe: I was also working in hospitality, mainly bartending, and studying nutritional healing at the Ann Wigmore Institute.

Q.What made you both want to get in the “cleanse” business?

Q.Millions of people watch you on NBC’s Today Show. What’s the most exciting part of being on the show?
A.
By far, the most exciting and rewarding aspect for me is the opportunity to reach millions of people with practical and manageable health messages…in a matter of minutes. And having coffee in the greenroom with George Clooney and Lady Gaga is pretty darn cool, too!

Q.You have a fitness dvd too! What kind of woman did you design Joy Bauer's Slimdown Workout for?
A.
Slimdown is designed for beginner and intermediate exercisers. Best of all, it’s easy to catch on and jump right in, so you don’t have to feel overwhelmed about starting a new fitness routine.

Q.Before you became a nutritionist, you were a trainer. How did you make this transition?
A.
While I was studying kinesiology during my undergrad years at University of Maryland, I taught aerobics and other exercise classes all over town. I then went to graduate school at NYU for nutrition, and...

I sat down with Chloe Melas of HollywoodLife.com (who BTW has one of the coolest jobs in online entertainment) to talk about celebrity fitness favorites and how YOU can easily spruce up your workout wardrobe for the gym. All it takes is a little fashion motivation, my friends. My stylish bandwagon awaits you. Take a looksy and a listen to my tips shared with celebrity interviewer Chloe Melas. Just click the video box or link over HERE.

And PLEASE leave comments. I love hearing from you. Your comments make my day and always inspire me (maybe not the spammy ones or the haters but you get what I'm saying). I'm going to choose 1 random winner from the comments section to win something brand spanking new and fabulous from my fitness closet (to be picked on Nov 9th, 2011). I'm excited to read what you all have to say!

Big thanks to Hollywood Life for inviting me to talk shop with them! And to Miss Chloe: I'll see you soon for your Style Up 2 Shape Up session...

Celebrity fitness fashion is now hot gossip! This is like a dream come true for me and I had so much fun dishing to US Weekly. Read the article below (or directly link to it) to see who's wearing my favorite fitness brands and why the clothes will rock your body too. The good news is that you can afford this stuff! You better get going before the Fitness Fashion Police strikes!

*MizzFIT Tells US WEEKLY What Celebs Are Wearing 2 Work Out*

Marisa Tomei is one of my favorite actresses of all time. I've loved her since Untamed Heart (yes, bad storyline but she didn't judge Christian Slater for having a baboon heart and that makes her a quality person). Acting aside, Marisa's body is off the charts and now we know how she maintains it -- with hoopBody! Check her out on Ellen.

hoopBody is a fun, low impact home-fitness workout that you can do in your living room or backyard. It's great for your core, especially the abs and waist-line. I can't think of anyone else I'd rather work out to on DVD than Marisa. It's like you want to be her best friend...but then maybe not...I'd be green with envy if I had to hang out with her all the time and watch her steal my boyfriends. Working out with her on DVD suits me just fine (sorry Marisa, you're just too hot). The hoopBODY kit is on backorder until August, but you can reserve yours now at Gaiam.com.
