Style Up 2 Shape Up for the Cold: 6 Tips to Help You Work Out Warmer and Get Outside!

 

If winters are super cold where you live--I KNOW--it becomes hard to motivate for outdoor workouts. I'm currently feelin' the chill in NYC. But fresh air and connecting with the natural outdoors does your body lots of good..and it's not like you have to spend all day outside! Go for a run, join an outdoor boot camp, jump rope or go ice skating. I know you can handle at least 30-minutes! The best way to get motivated is to Style Up 2 Shape Up for the cold. Watch the video above and scroll down to see what each of my lovely models was wearing so that you can snag their looks and hightail it outside too.

 

BY THE WAY, TIP #6 IS LEGIT (NOT A JOKE!)

When you work out with an "entourage" I swear to God, your friends' body heat will keep you warm. The more girlzz in your pack, the more warmth to go around!

Monica Vazquez- (Fat Chef) Weight Loss Trainer

Q.You're the Food Network's newest fitness star on the show Fat Chef...how did you snag this epic gig?
A.
I got involved because I work at New York Sports Club and the Food Network contacted them for a trainer for Chelsie Williams, a Times Square BBQ line cook. I lost a lot of weight before I became a trainer. I lost 65 pounds so they knew I could relate well to her. And that's how I got on Fat Chef!

Q.How long were you working with Chelsie?
A.
16 weeks.

Q.And how much weight did she lose?
A.
80 pounds.

Q.What was it like teaching a chef to eat less and workout more?
A.
It's more challenging because she is a chef. If you work with a computer you can't just eat your computer. She is in front of food all day long and if you are a mindless or emotional eater it's just that much easier to eat when it's there. You need to learn how to be aware of what's going in your mouth and the calories you're burning. Once you make a habit out of it it's really...

The Stylish Makeover We All Need Starts With "I Love Me"

 

I recently wrote this status update on my Facebook page:

You can't earn everyone's love but you can earn self-love.

We all know this...right? Kind-of-sort-of? Or is it that we forget to remind ourselves of it? Forgetting the meaning and actions behind "self-love" can wear us thin. We can be hard on ourselves for no good reason which then leads to bad habits, like my strange midnight love affair with Fig Newtons (I'll get into that later). Sometimes we just need help channeling our self-love into healthy & positive outcomes. Meet Melissa Kathryn. She's the founder of Melissa Kathryn Makeover, a weight loss program for women who want to trim their bodies and tailor their wardrobes. I couldn't resist--I had to sportswear-style her for this story!

 

How I Met Melissa Kathryn

It sounds strange but we were set up a by a mutual friend who thought we'd have "career stuff" in common. We met up at Tartine in NYC's West Village. Immediately I...

Brett Hoebel's Celebrity Sweat Interview

Brett Hoebel - Celebrity Fitness Pro

Q.You’ve become a fitness celebrity and TV personality. How has it changed your life?
A.
I leave "celebrity" and "famous" for the tabloids. I'm just a passionate and hard working person who is lucky enough to be able to do what I love to do. Being on TV and being more recognized has changed my life because it's made me be more accountable to myself and my word.

I want to set a positive role model for people, especially children. Having kids and parents come up to me on the street, shake my hand and tell me how inspiring I've been to them, has really shown me the "ripple effect" and how truly important it is to "pay it forward" when you have the ability to do it on a national and global scale. It's also made it hard to grab a frozen yogurt or slice of pizza without feeling like I need to put on sun glasses and a wig ;)

Q.Some people get their abs spray tanned on and some people turn to YOU for the real deal. Is that how RevAbs was born?
A.
People turn to me for...
