“She’s Got the Look” is an original television series hosted by Brooke Burke that airs season 3 August 25, 2010.  The show is all about discovering beautiful and sexy women who are all over the age of 35 years old.  The point of the show is to transform women into a successful model through a journey the pushes them through several competitions ranging from photo shoots to fashion tests.

These are the beautiful women of “She’s Got the Look” season 2.  Being over 30 does’t mean you can’t look and feel great as these women clearly show.  It’s up to you to do the things needed to make sure you are health and strong and look great well after the age of 30.

The Contestants On She’s Got the Look

The great thing about the contestants on She’s Got the Look is that they range from the ages of 35 to 54.   These beautiful women range from grandmothers to certified bus mechanics from Los Angeles California.  These women also vary in height ranges as well in that some of them are as short as 5 foot 4 inches while other top the scale at above 5’7.  What I like is that the show shows you that you can be different older and still beautiful, sophisticated and sexy.

How to Get the Look of These Women

Well the great thing is that all of these women look great and while no one can ever really look the same you too can have a great body and be in awesome shape.  Not only to most of the contestants workout but they also work really jobs and have a happy lifestyle.  These are the tips recommended to get the looks of the contestants.

Tips to Get the Look and Body of the Contestants

Proper Diet – Dieting seems to big the most over looked aspect when it comes to losing weight.  It’s not about what you need to start eating but rather what you need to stop eating.  Many women simply eat too many calories.  I’m not asking you to stop eating your favorite foods just eat less of it and make sure you give your body time to digest and use to food.

Drink Water – A lot of women tell me all the time that they drink enough water on a day to day basis.  The thing is that usually when you are snacking its not because you are hungry but rather because you are thirsty.  When I asked what else the drank that day it is usually followed with I have coffee, a sports drink and some other things.

Cut back on the empty calories – This follows my tip from above about drinking water as so many women don’t realize how many empty calories are in sports drinks and soda.  Just think that you could be adding an additional 500-1000 calories per day from fluids and this doesn’t include calories from your food sources.

Interval Training for Cardio – Yes, you go running on the treadmill but are you doing interval training?  Interval training is designed so that your workouts only last for about 20 minutes and they can be done on treadmills and elliptical.  The best thing about interval training is that you can burn calories twice as fast during the workout and even when you are done your body will burn calories for up to another 24 hours after.

Become the Next Winner on She’s Got the Look

You too can become the next winner on She’s Got the Look!  You just need to have confidence in yourself and focus.  There are going to be a lot of thing trying to knock you off track from friends and family members who tell you what you are doing is wrong to all the food that is going to be at in front of you to eat.  Just remember the choices you make now result in how you look and feel later.

4 Tips on How to Avoid At Work Weight Gain

Posted on by

So recently I posted an article about At Work Weight Gain and realized that I actually didn’t give and pointers or really any tips on how to actually avoid the weight gain.  Today I am going to post some tips that will hopefully help you make sure that you don’t fall into the dreaded trap of sitting at your desk or meetings and gaining weight.

Make sure you don’t follow the norms at work eating at every potluck, taking the elevator, and sitting at your desk all day.  These simple things add up to a few pounds every few months.  Help fight the weight gain at work by following these four simple tips.

How Common Is It

Well, from most of the people I talk with weight gain at work is very common.  What I find to be most interesting is that this is especially true among people who are required to set at a desk or in a cubicle all day.  Just think about it, how often is it that you or your co-workers have staff birthday or going away parties, potlucks, and even take-out orders.  And nowadays with technology it is so easy to become lazy and less active then you should be.  So here are some simple ways to help you avoid at work weight gain.

Tip 1: Drink More Water

I know you have heard this on before but drinking water is a valuable asset in helping you fight the battle against weight gain.  Make sure that you drink a few glasses of water at work and when you think you are hungry actually grab a glass of water instead.  Making sure you have enough water in your system not only helps keep you hydrated but will help you maintain your focus, prevents you from getting tired and also may keep the hungry tamed.  It is said that thirst is often mistaken for hunger and people tend to snack on food rather than sipping a little water.

Tip 2: Get Moving

Like I mentioned earlier many women who are consistently putting on weight at work tend to work where they sit at a cubicle or desk.  If this is the case then make sure you move around more at work by walking instead of emailing, parking further away from your building, and taking the stairs instead of the elevator.  On your lunch break, whether it’s an hour or just 30 minutes, take a walk or walk up and down the stairs.  Not only will you be more energized for the rest of the day but you will also be proud of yourself for doing something other than sitting at your desk.

Tip 3: Don’t Let Stress Cause You to Eat

Many are aware that they eat when they are either stressed out or because of their emotions.  Though work can be fun and enjoyable it can also be overwhelming, stressful and challenging.  This can be very bad and cause your weight to go up from overeating on the bad days at work.  Be careful and make sure that you are eating because you are hungry and not because you are pissed at your boss or upset about a project that is causing you to work overtime.

Tip 4:  Say Away from the Vending Machines

The vending machines may seem like a quick fix but it is actually causing a long term problem.  There are very few healthy choices in a vending machine and even choosing them can be tough when you are staring at your favorite candy or bag of chips.  You’d be surprised how many times I hear someone say they are going to get one thing from the vending machine to only end up with something loaded with fat and calories.

NOTE:  Another suggestion for ladies looking to keep off the weight gain from work would be to keep track of what you are eating.  That means everything!  Keep a journal and hold yourself responsible for eating that pack of M&M’s and everything else.
