Tennis star Maria Sharapova looks sexy and fit in the March issue of Ocean Drive magazine.  Based on these photos,  Maria is definitely my favorite FitCeleb of the day.   In fact, she embodies the true essence of what a FitCeleb should be - she’s sexy, athletic, and she possess a balanced and healthy outlook on nutrition.

What’s The Skinny On Miss Sharapova’s  Workout Routine:

Playing tennis nearly every day can get boring, so Maria switches up her activities:

  “I bike and do yoga. But my favorite thing is a salsa dance class called Video-sync,” - Shape Magazine

Video-sync, is a dance program developed by J. Marcos at Sports Club/LA in Miami.  This fast paced workout combines dance and fitness with a emphasis on the core muscles to help build stronger abs.   The classes are designed for people of all ability levels,  so they are not highly choreographed.  As a result, Maria can let loose without stressing about getting the steps right.

“I love it,” she says. “It’s so energetic and fun!” - Shape Magazine

What’s Maria’s Outlook On Nutrition:

Maria eats three large meals a day, always making sure to have a balance of carbs and proteins.  She snacks on fresh fruit along with slices of ham.  Most importantly, she never denies herself a sweet if she wants it.

“Nothing makes me happier than having an amazing meal and I never diet because I need to be strong.  The moment someone says I can’t have something, forget it. I want it even more,” she says. “If I crave a cookie, I eat it.”- Shape Magazine

Earlier this month, FitCeleb wrote a post announcing that Queen Latifah is the new Jenny Craig spokesperson. Four weeks into the program, and Queen Latifah is already working hard to differentiate herself from the previous Jenny Craig poster girls, Valerie Bertinelli and Kristie Alley . The Queen’s emphasis is not on dropping dresses sizes. Instead, she wants to focus on inspiring others to life a healthy and active lifestyle. In addition, she has made it her personal mission to educate her fans about diabetes, since the Queen lost her grandmother to this disease. Besides appearing in commercials and print ads, Queens Latifah is blogging for Jenny Craig and delivering motivational speeches.

When I took a look at the Queen’s “campaign platform”, I thought it was a nice refreshing approach. I think more celebrities need to stand up about embracing healthier lifestyles rather than starving yourself to be thin. However, many of the online diet blogs are buzzing with negative comments about Queen Latifah’s decision to be the new face of Jenny Craig. Apparently, many feel she is “selling out” and that the “diabetes” and “healthy living” verbiage is nothing more than a cheap marketing ploy. This enraged diet blog quote is just the tip of the iceberg of this quickly growing group of Queen Latifah “haters”:

“The Queen’s new “Trav’lin’ Light Tour” (I guess the ‘e’ and ‘g’ would weigh her down too much) is sponsored by Jenny F*#@ing Craig, and she claims it’s all about “educating” her fans about diabetes, which, wait for it… ‘we now know is preventable through the very thing Jenny Craig provides. Direct quote from the Queen: ‘Jenny Craig prevents diabetes, y’all. It’s that simple’. I don’t even know what else to say about that, except F**K That, and I hope she invests the Jenny Craig money wisely, since she just lost herself a s**itload of fans. - http://kateharding.net”

(Wow - somebody is angry!)

Mario Lopez is hot, hot, hot! From his body to those adorable dimples, Mario has made it a long way since “Saved by the Bell“! Mario Lopez tells In Touch Weekly:

“I try to work out six days a week.” 

On top of running and biking, Mario says:

“I love to fight. It de-stresses me. Not to be too Zen, but I find my center by boxing.”

I think boxing would be a good de-stresser for anyone!

I don’t know about your gym, but mine is super cold all year round. I totally get the, “air condition the place so we don’t all pass out and/or stink the joint up” - but come on. Sometimes it’s so cold, I don’t even want to workout. So, I went on a fashion hunt for a cute cover up that was light weight enough to wear in the spring, but offered enough warmth to protect me from the artic like conditions in my gym.

The result of my journey through the endless jungle of fitness fashion - the Patagonia: Women’s R1 Flash Pullover ($115) - A versatile, highly breathable cover up (now made with earth-friendly recycled polyester content) for mixed weather conditions. This is my new favorite article of clothing. I wear it when I first enter the gym, and I take it off once I complete my warm up.

The Patagonia: Women’s R1 Flash Pullover ($115) is available at www.altrec.com

Charlize Theron is no exception to the rule, and just like everyone else she’s got her own secrets to looking like a FitCeleb. She’s got that sultry look going on, even down to her name! As reported in Shape magazine, Ms. Theron has six small meals a day, and never deprives herself.

Her thoughts about aging:

“As you get older, you get wrinkles and your boobs sag. But you get wisdom, too, so it’s not all bad. You can’t really do anything about aging.”

Well put, Charlize!
