Sarah Michelle Gellar height and weight is something that gets a lot of attention on the internet.  Some people tend to think that at times she is too skinny for her height, while others seem to be greatly jealous of her appearance. Sarah herself has said that she doesn’t starve herself or even kill herself at the gym but it apparent the she knows how to stay in shape.

About Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah was born in New York City on April 14, 1977 and entered the world of films at the tender age of 4.  It wasn’t until her roles and performance in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “All My Children” that people took notice of the up and coming actress.  Her role in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” led her to win Teen Choice and Saturn Awards.  She has appearing in many movies including, Scooby-Doo, Cruel Intentions, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Grudge and several others.

What’s Her Height and Weight

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s height is 5’3 and she weighs between 97 to 110 pounds.  Though her height hasn’t changed her weight has been up and down which leads to a lot of questions.  Definitely I would agree that she looks her best when she is around the 110lb mark.  When she is on the lower end at 97lbs Sarah appears to be too thin and get question as to whether or not she is anorexic. 

With a height of 5’3 she can still appear lean and tone when she is 110-115.  This allows her arms and legs to be a little fuller and also gives her a nicer butt.

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Diet

She has mentioned that she tries to avoid dairy, deep fried foods and sugar in her diet mainly by just eating a well balanced diet and controlling her portions.  Though she loves eating sushi there are times when the beautiful actress says she is simply living off of soups and vitamins (this is not recommended for anyone).

Example of her 7 Day Soup Diet:

  • Monday:  mainly fruit (no bananas), cabbage soup, no sugary drinks
  • Tuesday: green leafy vegetables, no beans, peas, or corn. Potatoes with butter, no fruit
  • Wednesday: Eat what you ate on Monday and Tuesday except the potatoes
  • Thursday: cabbage soup, bananas, milk
  • Friday:  10 to 25oz of beef and 6 ripe tomatoes, drink 6 to 8 glasses of water, cabbage soup.
  • Saturday:  2 or 3 steaks with leafy greens and cabbage soup once or twice
  • Sunday:  Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables: Eat soup at least once.

She usually does this diet once or twice a month allowing for 2-3 weeks in between.

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Workout and Exercise

Sarah has been practicing Tae Kwon Do for 5 years and also enjoys kickboxing, boxing, yoga and gymnastics. She works with her personal trainer Phong Tran at least 3-4 days per week.  She does three days a week of resistance or weight training and three day of cardio and pilates.

“Look, it’s crazy for people to try to be as thin as we are. We have personal trainers and personal chefs. It’s our job to look this way.” Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah really doesn’t do anything too crazy with her workouts and I have yet to really get detail information as to exactly how her trainer trains her.  My guess is that it is kept simple and she does better on her diet plan.  Just by keeping her calories low she is going to stay lean and resistance training is only used to keep her muscles tone and lean.

Benefits of a Jump Rope Workout for Women

So Have You Ever Tried Using A Jump Rope to Workout?

I lot of women have jumped rope as a child and a jump rope workout may seem like mere child’s play.  However I don’t think most people understand how beneficial skipping rope can be and how difficult it is.  Jumping rope is not your average kid’s game that should be taken lightly and I am betting that most of you reading this haven’t jumped rope since you were about 10 years old.  I have posted in the past on a great workout routine to use for jumping rope but this time I wanted to give you the benefits.

Benefits of Jumping Rope For Women

 Easy to Learn

One of the best things about a jump rope workout is that it is easy to learn.  Knowing  you don’t have to spend hours learning how to jump rope is a great benefit as many women get discouraged about having to something that is extremely difficult and confusing.  For most women jumping rope is a simple as remembering how to ride a bike and if you don’t know how simply practicing 2-4 days a week for about 5 minute per day will be all that it takes.

Improves Coordination and Agility

I know a lot of people that trip over their own feet simply by walking.  When you start working out using a jump rope you will increase your eye hand coordination as well as your agility.  Jumping rope requires you to have great timing, endurance and strength.  As you get better at skipping rope your overall endurance will improve and most of the muscles in your body will become stronger.

No Need for a GYM

That’s right, you can forget about needing a gym membership and having to waste time driving to a gym.  It cost almost nothing to purchase a rope and workout in the comfort of your own home or outside.  Not only will you be saving money but you will be able to pack you rope and take it with you on vacations or on business trips so there is no excuse for not being able to exercise.

Works Almost Every Muscle in the Body

You want a better butt, sexier legs, nice flat abs, and strong sleek arms then this is the workout for you.  A jump rope workout will work most, if not completely all, the muscles in your body in couple of fluid motions.  By working out with a rope you will work your shoulders, core muscles, butt (women love that), and legs.  Your midsection really gets worked because you have to use your abs to stabilize your entire body.

Rope Skipping To Lose Weight

While some people would consider a jump rope workout to be an anaerobic type of exercise and not good for losing weight or fat I have found that jumping rope to be great for a cardio workout.  I will not only help you develop a higher fitness lever but it will also help with better stamina and is great for releasing HGH that the body naturally produces.  These things will help the body burn fat more effectively when performing exercises using high intensity interval training. 

A Quick “How to” on Jumping Rope

When jumping rope only jump about 1 to 2 inches off of the ground.  You only want to leave enough space for rope to slide under your feet and only the balls of your feet should touch the floor.  This is what makes your calves look great.

Keep your elbows close to your body as you turn the rope using your wrists. The movement of the rope itself will come from your wrists and forearms and not from you using your shoulders.

If you can’t jump rope for the entire workout you should put the rope down and just use your arms and legs as if you were still jumping with the rope.

Make sure you are using a rope that fits you.  Place the jump rope on the floor with your feet in the center and lift up the handles.  The handles should not come pass your collarbone.

NOTE: It’s quite amazing how you can improve your overall health and fitness by adding a jump rope workout to your routine.

How to Lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks and Look Like Stacy Keibler

Posted on by

So recently I was asked to tell someone how to lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks?  My response was, “Wow are you serious!!”  She then said that she was going to her class reunion and wanted to have a body like Stacy Keibler so that everyone would be jealous.  Losing 2-3 pounds per week is hard enough as it is but possible.  But when you are talking about 20 pounds in under a few months it’s almost impossible.  Even though never thought about having a client lose so much weight so fast I starting thinking what would it take for a person to lose that much weight in that short period of time.

Although Stacy Keibler has a great body this is not something you are going to achieve without hard work and patience.  Some women may already be close to where they don’t need a few months.  But looking to lose 20lbs and look like this in two weeks is almost impossible.

Hollywood Actresses Lose Weight Fast

Over the past few years several Hollywood actresses have claimed to have lost 20lbs in a two week period.  The most memorable that I can remember was Beyonce who stated that she lost more than 20 pounds using the Master Cleanse diet which is supposed to be some type of detox.  It is also called the maple syrup or lemon juice diet. But on this diet all you are doing is drinking 6-12 glasses of water mixed with juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper for 2 to 3 weeks.  The problem with this however is that you will quickly gain the weight back after the diet is over and you start eating again.

What Losing 20lbs in Two Weeks Would Look Like:

Go On A Detox Based Diet

I know I just said that Beyonce gained all of her weight back but remember you are asking for a miracle here so we need all the help we can get.  What I would suggest is going on the detox, but only drink fluids for 2-3 .  Instead of not eating at all on those days have a single meal at dinner time of about 500-800 calories.  This will give you the much needed energy while at the same time cutting out the calories you need to lose weight.  Think of this as fasting 2-3 days per week where you eat just one meal on those days.

Beyonce Before and After

Here is Beyonce before and after her detox.  You can clearly she how thin she is with the 20lb weight loss and it is stated that as soon as she stopped the detox the weight came right back.  So detox may work in the short run but it is no permanent solution.

High Intensity Interval Training

Time to cut out the boring old steady state cardio and get your butt moving if you want to shed that 20 pounds.  The only way you are going to consistently burn enough calories is if you do interval training.  Now this can be done on the treadmill, elliptical workout or even by sprinting outside.  The key is to make sure that you are giving your all doing the high intensity period and resting enough on the rest stage.  Make sure when you are suppose to break you actually take a break.

Eating Properly To Lose 20lbs

When I say eating properly I am not talking about changing your diet but you are going to have to eat fewer calories.  If this means throwing out all of the junk food in your house then do so.  Remember that if you are 5 feet tall there is no way you should be eating anywhere near that amount of calories as someone who is 5 feet 5 inches.  You need to cut your calories so if you where eating 2500 calories per day you need to drop it to 1600-1800.  I know is seems like a lot but you are asking for a lot in trying to losing that much weight that fast.

Stay away from Empty Calories

You have heard this one before you have to stay away from sodas and alcohol, its just that simple.  Eating is not the only way to get in unwanted calories and it definitely not the fastest way either.  More people consume calories from fluids faster than anything else.  Just think how quickly you can drink a beer or a can of cola.  Most of the sports drinks are about 300 calories per container and are usually gone before you know it.  The plan for these two weeks will be to consume water and only water!

Losing 20lbs in 2 Weeks Isn’t Easy

I wouldn’t suggest that anyone try to lose 20lbs in two weeks as this isn’t easy and certainly not really healthy.  What I wanted to do is simply see if I could put something together that could possible achieve this goal.  Losing that much weight in that short period of time would really also depend on how much you are overweight.  If you are someone who only has about 20 pounds to lose versus someone who is 100 pounds than the person who is 100lbs overweight would have an easier time.

NOTE: Do you think you could lose 20lbs in two weeks doing this?  Let me know what you think!
