To celebrate the new silhouettes to the “I ♥ My Body” Body by Victoria Collection, Alessandra Ambrosio and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley were at the Victoria’s Secret SoHo Store to talk about their favorite fit, what they love about their bodies and fun tips to love yours.

FitCeleb had the lovely opportunity to ask these gorgeous Victoria Secret models about their bodies:

FitCeleb: What's your favorite part of your body?

Alessandra Ambrosio: "My stomach."

FC: What's your favorite guilty pleasure?

AA: "I do love pizza, but I guess chocolate and desserts."

FC: Having done a lot of cardio when you first had your child two years ago, and then sticking with the weights last year, what's your fitness regimen for this year?

All week long athletes have been testing out Gatorade's G series, which tells how the athlete's body reacts under physical stress and how it burns energy via fat and calories. FitCeleb had the pleasure to interview NFL San Diego Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson on how different Gatorade beverages affect his performance.

FC: What did you think about the G-Series testing?

VJ: G series was good. I really enjoyed the prime and recover drinks, a lot better than I expected.

FC: How do you feel about drinking Gatorade for hydration?

VJ: It gives you more than plain water. It's definitely important to be hydrated before any type of extreme training activity. Staying hydrated during a game is very important for us, it does link to the game. Having the G2 on the sideline is a big deal, and then obviously when we're done, we're a little banged up - our tissues and muscles are broken down, so you need that protein, which you get from the recover.  I think the recover is going to be good not just for football players, but for athletes that go through the same type of strenuous training.

FC: What keeps you motivated during an intense workout or game?

FitCeleb had a chance to ask founder and creator of the S Factor, Sheila Kelly, a few questions about the empowering exercise.

S Factor is the original women's workout that combines ballet, yoga, Pilates and pole dancing to nurture a woman's natural S shape, promoting health, confidence and empowerment for all ages and body types.  

FC: Why do you think women get embarrassed or are shy about doing something like S Factor?

SK: Well now, I ask myself that every single day. S Factor redefined "pole dancing” and “feminine movement." We took it out of the dark, male-dominated clubs and gave it back its authentic roots. Roots that are female-centric…women dancing around the maypole celebrating fertility and organic sensuality and being honored as leaders in their matriarchal cultures. We successfully created a new genre of fitness that is sexually empowering yet wholesome. And women are loving it in our 7 studios across the US and at home around the world. The only thing a woman should or could be embarrassed about is not trying it at least one time, when so many women have tried it, and so many love it.

FC: Out of the all the celebrities that have done S Factor, who was the most embarrassed?

What turned out to be a gorgeous day at the South Street Seaport's Pier 17 on Wednesday, October 7 after a rainy morning -- Pepperidge Farm teamed up with reality star Bethenny Frankel from 'The Real Housewives of New York City' to hand out the new Pepperidge Farm Deli Flats 100 Calorie Thin Rolls.

Commuters, tourists school students, and a surprise guest lined up around the Pepperidge Farm sandwich stand to get their free sandwich from Bethenny.  The surprise guest was no other than fellow housewife Alex McCord, who received a little red gift bag from Bethenny, and then the two chatted it up for quite a while.  With construction noise and distance between me and the housewives, it was too hard to hear any scoop, sorry!  

By the way both Bethenny and Alex are very petite in their frame.  I know Bethenny is referred to as the "skinny girl" based on her New York Times best seller, "Naturally Thin: Unleash Your SkinnyGirl and Free Yourself from a Lifetime of Dieting," but she really is skinny!  She highly reccommends the Deli Flats to her clients, saying,

I never heard of such a thing like swimmer's asthma or lifguard lung until I started learning about the health problems that can be caused from indoor swimming pools due to the inhalation of chlorine.  We all know chlorine is a chemical, but what other alternative is there than this bacteria-killing stink bomb?  Let FitCeleb tell you about the Del Ozone and one of New York City's cleanest public swimming pools, the 92nd Street Y. 

To FitCeleb, the Del Ozone is new technology, but guess what?  It's been around for over 100 years!  Initially the Del Ozone was a purification drinking plant in Nice, France back in 1906.  Then in 1937 a commerical pool in New Jersey installed the system.  It even has been used by the FDA/USDA in 2001 as an antimicrobial food additive and food contact surface disinfectant.  So it's not just used in swimming pools.    

OK, so what does this mean to you and your public pool?  Public pools using the Del Ozone are much cleaner and safer for your health.  Just ask David Schmeltzer, Director of 92nd Street Y May Center for Health, Fitness & Sport.

“I don’t think I could possibly live without it from a professional stand point.”

The 92nd Street Y in New York City, has been using the Ozone for over 10 years. But it wasn't as easy as installing a new filter. A lot of research and conversation happened prior to the Ozone's installation in the recreational facility back in 1994.
