How does the Most Beautiful Woman Stay Fit?
May 11th, 2009 by tracybenham
Celebrity trainer, author of Flat Belly Cookbook and AHN Fitness Expert, Fitz shares her recent interview with Christina Applegate, People Magazine “Most Beautiful Person for 2009″.
Christina Applegate has grown up before our eyes and has truly evolved into a sophisticated, smart, driven woman who also happens to be one hell of a comedic actress. Her hit show “Samantha Who?” on ABC is in its second season, and Christina has had to split her focus between continuing to deliver hilarity on cue and recuperating from an aggressive battle with breast cancer. She’s recovering from a double mastectomy and becoming the fit woman she’s accustomed to being. Christina talked about her efforts to stay strong, the diet she can no longer afford and the torture she endures for gorgeous skin.
Fitz: Christina, you look the best I’ve ever seen. What have you been doing?
Christina: Thanks! I’m finally able to exercise (since my surgery). My recovery has been really long and slow but I’ve been gradually getting back in to it.
Fitz: What type do you do?
Christina: I’ve been running, spinning, dancing and taking boot camp classes. I really love to exercise.
Fitz: That doesn’t sound very gentle at all! In fact, it sounds like a pretty hard-core workout schedule.
Christina: Yeah, I know. But I mainly have to stick with lower body exercises. I do yoga too.
Fitz: And what are your eating habits like?
Christina: I was strictly following a macrobiotic diet for while. I’ve sought out foods that serve the purpose of “helping and healing.” I definitely seek out alkaline-loaded foods like kale.
Fitz: Are you still pursuing macrobiotics?
Christina: Not strictly. I was having it delivered to me, but I simply couldn’t afford it anymore!
Fitz: Really? What’s the price tag on a macrobiotic lunch delivery?
Christina: Trust me. It’s really high. Too high! I just couldn’t justify the expense anymore.
Fitz: Are you eating with cancer prevention in mind?
Christina: Absolutely — I hope I’m doing that! I’m also just trying to balance my life and not be so regimented.
Fitz: When you slack a bit, what is your favorite not-so-healthy indulgence?
Christina: I love cheese. A good cheese pizza every now and then is wonderful.
Fitz: What’s on your mp3 player?
Christina: Six thousand songs! I often listen to Jeff Buckley, Bright Eyes and The Beatles.
