Train Like an Angel!

It's not all fluff and poses for the Victoria's Secret models. They work to be runway ready!

Whether you are interested in fashion or not, you have undoubtedly seen many many times, images and ads of terrifyingly thin models and photoshopped movie stars floating around. Almost everywhere we look now, there they are: skinny girls and doctored photographs setting an impossibly high and unhealthy standard for body image.

Here's a different image of a model:

It is refreshing to see a company and it's models promote a healthier lifestyle and share their workouts. Yes, these women still seem incredibly small but at least we know they actually work for their figures. Aside from the videos they share, here's another tid bit to consider: many of the wings they wear on the runway are actually quite heavy! These models have put up to 50 pounds of extra weight on their backs while still keeping their walk tall and stilettos firmly on the ground!

In preparation for this year's show, they've started sharing new videos and tips from celebrity trainer, Justin Gelband, to help viewers and fans "Train Like an Angel!"

Don't get jealous; get fit! Until tomorrow PGX'ers...

What is just as important as your workout? Your warm up!

PGX fitness trend for today: do a pre-workout warm up!

Okay. So a warm up isn't exactly a fitness trend, but I think it's high time that we make it a trend! Doing a pre-workout warm up can be just as important as healthy eating and your workout. Why? Warming up will help to wake your muscles and get them workout ready, improving your joint mobility and preventing injury!

So how do you warm up? Many people start with cardio, but there are even more benefits to beginning your workout with a dynamic warm up!

Director of Equinox Fitness Institute, Geralyn Coopersmith explains why to Shape Magazine online.
