Harley Gives Us an Inside Peek at His Celebrity Clients
Harley Pasternak is a busy guy. In about the span of a week, he left his training duties on the Lady Gaga tour in Europe, headed home to LA to see 10 clients, and then crossed the Pacific to Hawaii for two more. When I finally caught up with him in Tampa, he was already planning his departure to Toronto, his childhood home.
Harley Pasternak Is Always on the Run
I was lucky enough to talk to celeb trainer Harley Pasternak, who shared a tip that seems perfect for the weekend. Harley says that the singular, most important piece of fitness advice he can offer someone is, "get a great pair of running shoes." On top of that, Harley says that you should always be wearing them, always.
How to Choose a Personal Trainer
If you're in the market for a personal trainer, you may be a bit intimidated by those that you see at the gym. I have seen trainers yelling at their clients, which to some people may be motivating, but to others it's just downright scary. Here are a few tips from the American Council on Exercise on picking the right trainer for you:- Ask for references: Ask the trainer for the names and phone numbers of other clients with goals similar to yours.
Winterize Your Ride: Bicycle Trainers and Rollers
Boo, it's too cold or wet to ride your bike outside, you say? So ride it inside. I'm not talking about hitting a spin class or getting the stationary bike out of your grandma's attic.
Red Carpet Ready: Valerie Waters on the Power of Snacking
Celeb trainer Valerie Waters has helped many clients prep for roles and the red carpet, including Jennifer Garner and Jessica Biel. With the Oscars just around the corner, I sat down with Val to learn some of her tips on getting ready for a big event.
Funny enough we spent most of our time talking about food — Valerie freely admits she is not a dietitian and calls herself a food coach.
Tweet of the Day: Kristin Cavallari
Since I literally just got back from sweating it out at the gym, I am more than appreciating this Twitter conversation between Hills star Kristin Cavallari and her trainer, John Damon. I feel your pain, Kristin!
@KristinCav: I am so sore from working out with my trainer John Damon yesterday.
Whose Celebrity Trainer Would You Want?
Actresses and singers are always in the spotlight, so it's important that they feel confident about their appearances. Since they make tons of moola, they can afford to hire the best personal trainers to whip them into tip-top shape. If you could have any celeb's trainer, who would you want to hire to kick your butt at the gym?
Would You Hire an Overweight Personal Trainer?
I read an article in the Washington Post recently that touches upon the issue of overweight trainers and its implications, inside and outside the gym. It seems that overweight trainers are faced with major criticism and have a harder time getting hired at gyms. The whole thing got me thinking about my gym and the fact that I have seen several overweight employees there.

Acting as an interactive cookbook, with this game you can access over 240 recipes from around the world and a private cooking instructor will provide video demonstrations and talk you through any recipe you choose.
Indoor Bicycle Trainer from Bell
No matter what your reasons for having to stay inside are (the weather, that newborn baby you just had, the episode of Oprah you just can't miss...) you can still get in a biking workout, even if you don't own a stationary bike. No, I'm not telling you to bike around your house...
It seems that almost all of us have a bike laying around the house somewhere, right?.
