I love exercising outside but I hate getting too much sun. I have this fear of turning into a wrinkly raisin-face or worse yet, the New Jersey Tanning Mom!!!

I'd rather take excellent care of my skin now than regret it later (even it if means not having the best tan or hiding under my floppy beach hat on a good hair day). The way I see it, if I'm going to be a cougar on the prowl when I'm older (I've been single this long so who knows), I'd like to be one that wags (or curls?) tails. Wouldn't you?

But here's the deal, you don't have to run for the shade like a Debbie Downer. There are ways to safely work out and lay out in the sun without scorching your skin.

I know I sound like an over-protective mom right now but seriously 1-hour is plenty, especially during the summer! And if you feel like...

Cherie Lily is one of my favorite fitness women in the biz because she's both a sweetheart and flamboyant singing sensation. Everything about her is interesting, captivating and hip. She's a trend starter and fitness entertainer, which in my opinion is a beautiful rarity! I guess that's why she gets a lot of play here on MizzFIT.com.

But let's get to the point of my post here...

Cherie Lily is simultaneously blowing up and dripping wet. I'm not kidding. And to see it, you've got to read about it here on Celebrity Sweat! Cherie recently dropped her new music video (which features some of NYC's hottest fitness bodies) and the link is in the interview. Just don't watch it at work, OK? There's no nudity (do bare butts count?) but you just might get a little excited. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Q.Cherie, you're blowing up on the music scene! How do you balance your time between fitness and performing on stage?
A.
Fitness is an integral part of my life and mission. I want to inspire the world to move through my music, which is why I created HOUSEROBICS. When I’m touring and on the road, I may not be able to teach my regular schedule of classes in NYC, but I drop in at gyms around the world and teach special classes.

Q.Can you give us the “Houserobics for Dummies” breakdown?

Houserobics is a genre to describe the music I create, which blends together my two greatest passions, fitness and music! Houserobics is hot, original dance music, created to inspire people around the world to move their bodies and get sweaty!
