Jennifer Aniston looking buff on set of her new film "The Bounty" in Brooklyn, NY yesterday (July 17).

She makes running in heels look easy!  By the way, that's the newest trend in gyms lately - exercises classes called "Catwalk Confidence" or "Stiletto Strength," which are all about working out those legs to feel sexy while walking, dancing, or running in heels! 

 

 

 

About a week ago I was heading to the gorgeous island of Jamaica to teach fitness classes for a week at the all-inclusive Couples Swept Away Resort.  Judging from the photo gallery from the resorts website, the resort looked beautiful, but it was even more amazing in person.

If you're a fitness enthusiast who works out even on vacation, but dread going to the resort's fitness facility that usually involves a couple of treadmills and weight machines in a white walled room, The Couples Swept Away fitness facility will blow your mind! 

I never been to a resort that had a whole fitness facility on site - and when I say whole fitness facility I mean, they have a HUGE studio where fitness classes are held twice daily.  There are cardio groove classes, spin classes, body pumping classes, yoga, pilates and of course reggae abs classes.   

There's also a weight machine room that is open (no windows or doors), a lap pool where aquacize classes are held or you could do just laps, tennis courts, squash courts and a pool table.  

There's also a guest tennis instructor each week that teaches tennis lessons.  So whether you want to play on your own or learn how-to play, the choice is yours.  

The fitness facility also has a health bar which has declicious fresh fruit smoothies, granola bar snacks, and fresh fruit infused water (and I don't mean bottled!).  They also serve coffee, water and other health drinks.

A couple of weeks ago, before I went on vacation, I got my legs waxed at a spa in New York City called, Shobha.  It was my first time there, and was a little hesitant in getting my legs and bikini waxed without knowing anyone who's gone to the place before, because I've been to places that I don't think should be in business to be waxing people - so I'm a little jaded. 

Walking into this small yet cozy, warm atmosphere decorated with orange, yellow and red colors - the polite front desk woman asked me if I wanted tea or water and told me to have a seat.

Now, like I've mentioned I've had my bikini and legs waxed many times before at different places, but Shobha offers something unique - it's called sugaring, which is:  

form of hair removal that resembles waxing, but is actually much gentler and less painful to endure and requires a higher level of technical skill to perform.

After getting waxed with a friendly specialist Jamuna, who didn't really put me in awkward, uncomfortable positions - which I've been in before - I was educated on how to keep my thighs and bikini line bump free! 

I get ingrowns a lot, but I have their Exfoliating Cloth which is good.  It's flexible and machine washable (and it won't mold!), and made from all-natural plant fibers.  I also have their Ingrown Relief Lotion, which can be used for beards, bikinis and everywhere in between!

Melissa Auf der Maur, former Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bassist, is the latest celebrity to contract swine flu.

Melissa first reported her symptoms last may and immediately went to the hospital. She had been suffering from a sore throat and achy body but was diagnosed with a sinus infection.  By June she was feeling no better and actually began feeling worse than before.

“Over the course of 48 hours, my temperature went from 95 F to 101, and back again. It was a very strange feeling, being pulled back and forth between severe illness and feeling fine."

Again she went to her doctor and this time was diagnosed with swine flu. 

The World Health Organization has described swine flu as a virus that is spreading “internationally” and “with unprecedented speed."  Like other strains of flu it is transmitted person to person by coughing, sneezing and by being in close contact with someone who is infected with the virus. By unlike other types of flu, those who have contracted the virus are not only the sick and elderly. Public health experts have warned that "the young and healthy who feel invincible from the H1N1 'swine flu' influenza pandemic may not be as bulletproof as they think." And Melissa is the first to vouch that the warning includes celebrities too!
