Train Like an Angel!

It's not all fluff and poses for the Victoria's Secret models. They work to be runway ready!

Whether you are interested in fashion or not, you have undoubtedly seen many many times, images and ads of terrifyingly thin models and photoshopped movie stars floating around. Almost everywhere we look now, there they are: skinny girls and doctored photographs setting an impossibly high and unhealthy standard for body image.

Here's a different image of a model:

It is refreshing to see a company and it's models promote a healthier lifestyle and share their workouts. Yes, these women still seem incredibly small but at least we know they actually work for their figures. Aside from the videos they share, here's another tid bit to consider: many of the wings they wear on the runway are actually quite heavy! These models have put up to 50 pounds of extra weight on their backs while still keeping their walk tall and stilettos firmly on the ground!

In preparation for this year's show, they've started sharing new videos and tips from celebrity trainer, Justin Gelband, to help viewers and fans "Train Like an Angel!"

Don't get jealous; get fit! Until tomorrow PGX'ers...

Wedding season is here and so are bachelorette parties!

But if traditional calorie-laden cocktail parties don’t sound your idea of a good time, fly in the face of tradition by celebrating your bachelorette party in a fun, healthy way instead. Here are a few ways to bond with your girlfriends while burning calories along the way.

Bride Patrol: Plan a weekend skiing or snowboarding! Have some customized shirts made and dress the bride in all white. Or have a scavenger hunt on the mountain. 

Bridal Boot Camp: Get wedding photo ready and fabulously fit in time for your big day. Boot camps are a great way for you and your wedding party to look and feel great on your wedding day, plus you might even create some workout buddy’s long after the big day!

Girlfriend Sleep Over: The night before your wedding can be stressful but not if you have a girls’ spa night at home! Enjoy spa treatments together and pop on your favorite movie, then go to bed early and wake up refreshed. In the morning go for a walk and return to a healthy breakfast with fresh fruit, egg white omelet’s and green tea.

Runaway Bride: Ready, set, go! Plan a running weekend with a 5k, or run of your choice. To recover, spoil yourselves for the rest of the weekend with pedicures, manicures, massages, and spa treatments.
