Who is more inspiring?

Serious question. Who is more inspiring to you? Marisa Miller or Kirstie Alley?

Marisa is amazingly good looking and active enough and disciplined enought to stay thin and fit.
Kirstie let herself go(way too much), but was able to muster some serious weight loss.

Of the two, who do you admire the most?

Elzecat

honestly, neither one.

I don't know who Marissa Miller is, but I wouldn't count Kirstie Alley as an inspiration. Yes, she looks great now, but she lost the weight in an unhealthy manner, working out and dancing for hours upon hours when she was on DWTS and not eating nearly enough food. If I recall correctly, she collapsed more than once from the lack of fuel. Her partner admonished her for not eating enough. I am not inspired by that one bit.

Idk but I think Kirsti Alley is trying. But I didn't know about her trying to starve her self though.

Kirstie did not lose all of her weight on DWTS. She had been on 1200 calories a day and failed to increase that when she began the show. She lost about 60 pounds on her own beforehand, doing the same thing most people here are doing.

How old is Marissa Miller?


Because unless she is over 30, the edge goes to Kirstie even though she did let herself go.

dmpizza

I think MM is 39ish.

thegymbunny

wow really?

Well then she wins.

I thought she was around 25. The older you get the harder it is.


ok thanks google, she is 33.
So this has me torn.

From what I remember Kristie always struggled with weight and I heard a rumor at one time used either drugs or diet pills in her younger days. I am not sure about the skinny chick. Not sure if she ever struggle or a natural body type?

hmmm.....probably Marisa.

Marisa Miller Body – Diet & Fitness Regime

June 27, 2009

Marisa Miller has one of the best skinny fit bodies I have ever laid eyes upon! She has a great body and she works hard to keep her body in tip top shape. Marisa understands that intensity is the key ingredient to torching her body fat and ultimately the secret to keeping her body fat percentage so low and lean. Here are some tips about how Marisa sculpts her amazing body!


“Working Out Is Not A Luxury, It’s A Necessity.”
Marisa never skips a work out, she understands that to keep her body in perfect shape, working out is mandatory. I believe that consistent exercise can help tremendously with keeping the diet in check also. If you are regular with your workouts and never skip a day and you have a slip up with your eating habits, it may help to get you on track with your diet sooner. So what kind of work out does Marisa Miller do?

Body Weight Circuit Training!
Well of course, because we all know body weight circuits are the quickest most efficient way to sculpt your body right at home. Marisa knows that in order for her to have a strong, lean body, she needs to do strength training (body weight exercises!). I don’t think people realize that to have a hot body, you need to be strong! No one can ever get a hot body and be weak, it just doesn’t work that way. Let’s take a look at one of the 4-week circuits she does.

Mountain Climbers (15)
3 Way Kick (12 per leg)
Side Lying Circle (12 per leg)
Speed Skater (15)
Bicycle Crunch (15)
Push Ups (12-15)

Note: Rest 30 seconds, repeat 2 more times for a total of 3 circuits.
Do this circuit 3x per week, for a total of 4 weeks.

“I Have A Home Gym And I Take Spinning Classes At My Local Health Club.”
Marisa does intense spinning and really gets her heart rate up, and she also says that when she has time she likes to box. Both of these are great ways to blast calories and boxing is one of Marisa’s favorite things to do so it keeps it fun and interesting for her. But if someone cannot afford to have gym membership to take spinning classes or box, HIIT would be an even better alternative and especially since it can be anywhere.


She Eats Clean Satisfying Foods

“I usually have steel-cut oatmeal with sliced bananas in the morning, but if I want something fast, I whip up a protein shake. I mix soy or almond milk, yogurt, a banana, and a scoop of protein powder with frozen organic fruit, like mangoes or blueberries. I don’t measure anything; I just throw it all in the blender. I also carry Gnu Flavor & Fiber bars with me in case I need to eat on the run.”

Marisa eats clean but eats foods that satisfying her taste-buds. She eats a filling breakfast and I am guessing she probably does not eat too much through out the day. She keeps junk out of her house, and when she feels like having a little treat she has one.

“I prefer healthy food and try not to bring too many treats into my house. But I don’t believe in depriving myself either, when I go to the movies, I have a sugary soda, not a diet one. And if I want a burger, I’ll have a burger. I just make it a point not to eat one five days in a row.”


She Stays Disciplined Even When It Gets Tough
If it’s a day when Marisa knows she is supposed to be eating clean, she will pass on crap food and stay consistent. Having a treat once in a while is fine, but she knows that if it’s not in her plan to have one on a certain day, she doesn’t have it.

“Some nights he’ll [husband] bring home french fries, and I have to resist them! I decide to say ‘no’ and then make something else, like a veggie burger. It’s not always an easy choice, but it’s a healthier one.”

Well there you have it, Marisa’s tips and workout to getting a skinny fit Victoria’s Secret body!
