I may not be an official fitness model represented by some big agency, but there are plenty of Diet.com Video fans out there who want to know how Katrina and I stay fit! We felt this video was very necessary so here is the short version, but make sure you watch the video and subscribe on YouTube so you get notified when the videos are uploaded.

Katrina's Fitness Favorites

Katrina trains clients all day and since she has to count for all of them, she doesn't count for herself. She does as many reps as she can until failure. This means, when her form goes out the window she stops. She also is an avid runner but doesn't hype it up in the video. She recently ran a half marathon and is training for the Boston Marathon next year! To find out her favorite five moves watch the video!

The Hostess' Fit Tips

And as for me, I change it up depending on the weather and my personal energy level. If it's nice out I will go for a long run, always changing the pace based on what's playing on my iPod. I like to create playlists that alternate in tempo. A really high intense song really gets me running fast for about 3 minutes, then I'll take it down a notch and recover with a more mellow jam. Switching it up always keeps my body guessing, and I never get bored because I love my music and download new songs frequently. I also enjoy Pilates, the elliptical, or a walk/run if I'm tired but feel lazy.

How I Stay Motivated

The best thing for me to do when I am feeling unmotivated to go workout, is to just get out of the house. Whether it's getting in the gym or walking outside surrounded by fitness enthusiasts, my competitive personality usually kicks in and I manage to pull off a half decent calorie burn. Music is probably my number two. I am very influenced by the beat in my ears. If it's slow, I'll want to run slow. If it's super fast, I like to sprint.

The fact that I need to be in shape for work is also an advantage I have probably on most people. If I am out of shape, I cannot do my job very well. It's hard to do 20 reps of the same move on one leg for a camera! Also, if I gain a few pounds, the audience on YouTube lets me know asap.

The Best Advice I Have To Give

It's hard to enjoy exercise when it becomes your job so my advice to all of you is enjoy what you do! If you like the serenity of long walks, do that. If you like music, search the iTunes Store for some great pump up songs to minimize your hatred of the treadmill.
