Gabrielle Reece - There are a lot of questions about whether or not it's a good idea to cleanse. You have heard of people who do a juice fast or the Master Cleanse for seven to fourteen days. I admit, I did my first cleanse about two years ago. ... Read more...

Gabrielle Reece - Round and round we go: Here comes another shorts and bathing-suit season. Are you in need of some new fitness tips to throw into the mix? For many of us, it's really not about the list, since we already know what to do. It's about getting inspired and re-energized to tackle those two lifestyle habits we know so well: eating and exercise.

Gabrielle Reece - I was at a shoot the other day and the joke was to avoid having a conversation in which the dreaded "E" (economy) word or "R" (recession) word was mentioned. There's no doubt that the effects of the E and the R are taking their toll on everyone in various ways. So many of the things going on around us are in fact out of our control, and that's why it's imperative to figure out simple ways to minimize the feeling and impact of stress. ... Read more...

Gabrielle Reece - Everyone likes to attack weight loss differently. There are those who like to combine exercise and nutrition; others change their eating only; and some would rather hit the gym and run rather than give up their favorite foods.

Whether you want to look thinner or more ripped, gain muscle mass, or just have more energy, food is your friend. That being said, feeding your body before a workout to generate the most amount of energy, create the chance to burn as many calories as possible, and fit into your real time schedule can be a bit of a dance. ...

Gabrielle Reece - I always get a little laugh when I'm asked, "How do I get rid of my flab?" or something like that. Are there really magical gym moves you can do, you know, do this type of arm move and watch the jiggle, jiggle just disappear? (I want to live in that universe.) Unfortunately there are not. But, you can chip away at the gush and increase your overall energy if you're smart about it. ... Read more...

Gabrielle Reece - Now that it's warming up, it's time to break out the hard bodies. Let's start nice and slow and begin with our arms. For a lot of us, our "wings" have been behind long sleeves, sweaters, and jackets, and they need a little love. You don't have to go to the gym, however, to work on your arms. (If you are a member of a gym then you can just add these moves to your workout. ... Read more...

Gabrielle Reece - A lot of people send comments to me looking for a simple starting point to losing weight. We all know that it has to do with lifestyle (eating, exercise, and attitude). You can go online and read countless articles on how do that. Rather than making it too difficult, I thought it would be a fun idea to create an easy program with guidelines anyone can follow. So here is a basic program to help you get started. ... Read more...

Gabrielle Reece - Unfortunately eating healthy takes effort, and a lot of the time it is just easier to eat fast food (quick, readily available, and inexpensive), or it's the only thing available. Trying to eat healthy at a fast-food restaurant can be a bit of an oxymoron, but there are few things you can do to lighten the fat, calorie, and sugar load that ultimately affects your overall health strategy. 1. Do your homework. ... Read more...
