For me, the way I go about training all of my clients is by using short bursts of interval training - it's the most effective for burning calories as well as for cardiovascular health and making you stronger.
The point of workouts are no longer to do double 60-minute sessions or go to classes five times a week. You don't want to burn out and beat your body up.
If there's one thing that we need to avoid, all of us - young, old - it's processed, refined sugar. There's nothing good about it.
The program for me, 'The Ultimate New York Body Plan,' is about realizing the best you and really loving the body you create.
I befriend most of my clients, and I like to go out with them. I like to socialize with them: They're interesting.
Asparagus is the best at de-bloating, since it helps flush out the bad stuff.
Work out to music that's fun for you. I like a good beat; something from Jay-Z or Eminem.
Blueberries, strawberries, and broccoli are all high in vitamins.
Here's a universal truth: If you're not working out in the morning, you probably won't do it later in the day, either.
Don't fool with machines you're not familiar with - stick with the treadmill and elliptical.
The moment your kids start crawling, they are exercising. To them, movement is fun and organic... It is adults who have turned daily activity into a mandatory chore.
I think that we all plateau, from fitness experts to regular folks at every fitness level. What that means is we need to change our exercise routine, food, and attitude.
If you go on a calorie-reduced diet without increasing your level of exercise, at a certain point, your body will lose a little weight and then plateau. You need to trick your body to burn more fuel than you're ingesting so you can continue to lose weight.
On weekends, I'm chasing my six-year-old girls around the city. That's my cardio!
What applies when we're younger maybe doesn't so much when we get a little bit older.
Avocado is one of my favourite fruits, and my daughters and I love avocado in salads, and even in smoothies.
Eating is not a bad thing; it's not a curse. And I think to have long, sexy, lean, tight muscles, you need to feed them with good quality proteins and make sure you stay hydrated.
It's true of models in general - I don't think they eat and fuel properly throughout the day.
If you're going to have a piece of pie, have it. I love pecan pie - but it won't be with ice cream; it won't be with whipped cream.
Remember that it's never too late and you're never too old to get the body you were born to have.
