Name: Kelly Brook
Famous for: Her modelling career started at 16 and she has been a dancer since a young age. 15 years later, she has appeared in numerous advertising campaigns, been a TV presenter, appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, topped FHM’s 100 sexiest women in the world list in 2005 and had her own swimwear and lingerie range. This year she has become the face of Reebok, modelling and promoting trainers and fitness equipment and in September appeared in the American edition of Playboy. She is admired by men and women alike, for very different reasons we’d hazard to guess.
Age: 31
Body type: Shapely, curvacious and womanly.
Body history: As a professionally trained dancer, she has never been a fitness freak, instead keeping herself in shape with dancing and looking after herself. She has a positive body image and says she is as proud of her shapely hips as she is her narrow waist. There is nothing artificial about Kelly’s curves or large chest and she doesn’t beat herself up if she gains a few pounds. Instead she cuts out bread and pasta for a while, and chooses soups and salads instead.
What does she do fitness/diet wise: Kelly claims to eat three meals a day - choosing to eat healthily rather than indulge in excessive dieting and has admitted to getting bored with fitness routines and the gym in the past. As she approached 30, she admits to making a conscious effort to get in the best shape of her life and is now working out with Reebok’s top UK fitness instructor on a 1:1 basis. She has a mix and match approach to her training and focuses on shape changing toning and fun workouts over serious, intense ones and often uses music to motivate her.
How you can achieve the same look? Kelly has a natural hour glass shape, so she will always have her curves with a narrow waist and slightly wider hips and shoulders. But anyone can achieve great shape change results by focusing on a variety of conditioning workouts that streamline your waist, tone and lift your bottom and shaping up arms, chest and shoulders. If you want to lose fat, then combine the shape changing workouts with some running or power walking.
A weekly program could look like this:
•Monday – Abs and waist workout (crunch variations, oblique exercises, planks and using a big gym ball)
•Tuesday – 1 hour running/power walking (use fun music to make it more interesting)
•Wednesday – Hip, bottom and thigh workout (combining squats, lunges and floor leg work)
•Thursday – One hour running/power walking (why not bring a friend along if you don’t like this kind of training?)
•Friday – Arm, chest and back workout (combining press ups and arm workouts with bands)
•Saturday – Day off
•Sunday – One hour dance /circuits class
