Even running around after my little one-year-old is like a workout in itself, plus I love to walk everywhere," said Miranda, who has a 16-month-old son, Flynn, with husband Orlando Bloom.

Miranda says she enjoys the exercise although admits it can sometimes be hard work: "I enjoy the exercise that I do, so that keeps me motivated. There are times when it's tough, or you don't feel like it but once I get my workout gear on and I'm there I usually find that I can get into it and I enjoy it!

Jennifer Aniston: Beauty Cost Claims are Exaggerated

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Rumors,

Jennifer Aniston insists claims she spends $8,000 a month on beauty regime are "greatly exaggerated."

The 43-year-old former Friends actress was reported to invest a massive $96,000 a year in looking good. According to website Shine, Jennifer splurges $900 a week on private yoga sessions, and subscribes to a $350 a week home delivery food service. On top of that, the report also claims she forks out $450 for a neck ointment by Euoko, and $450 on regular Tracie Martyn facials amongst numerous other expensive products and treatments.

But while she admits she loves a good beauty product as much as the next woman, she insists her regime costs her no where near as much.

"Although I am a sucker for an amazing moisturizer, love a great facial, have been using the same cleansing bar since I was a teenager and have always been a dedicated tooth-brusher, reports that I am spending eight thousand a month on a beauty regime are greatly exaggerated. By my tally, this month I'm in for about $200," she told People.

Miranda Kerr works hard to maintain her svelte figure.

The Victoria's Secret model quickly regained her amazing body following the birth of her son, Flynn, 13 months ago but admits it wasn't easy: "It's been a lot of yoga and Pilates, and eating healthily. It does take hard work."

The Australian beauty is known for following a strict organic diet and sticking to a rigorous fitness regime but admits she does sometimes treat herself: "If you want to have a little indulgence every now and then, then that's okay. Sometimes I'll feel like some dark chocolate or sometimes I'll feel like some French fries."

Miranda, 28, recently revealed how important it is for women to feel good about themselves. "I can't feel bad about being who I am, just like the girl next to me can't feel bad about being who she is. Because a rose can never be a sunflower, and a sunflower can never be a rose. I want to encourage women to embrace their own uniqueness. Because just like a rose is beautiful, so is a sunflower, so is a peony. I mean, all flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that's like women too."

Shot a mere two months after she gave birth, Gisele Bundchen is the current envy of most mothers as the photos from her Calzedonia Spring/Summer 2010 campaign are released.

The secret to her fabulous post-baby body? Gisele was kind enough to offer some pregnancy advice for the common folk: “I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and I gained only 30 pounds… What helps me is the fact that I had a natural birth and am breast-feeding.”

Check out the rest of the photos from the shoot after the jump!

Yoga Fan Miranda Kerr

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News,

Miranda Kerr credits yoga with helping maintain her stunning figure.

The Victoria’s Secret model is a huge fan of the relaxation technique and although she knows staying slim is vital for her career, she would do it anyway because of the health benefits.

The 27-year-old beauty said, “Regardless of whether I was doing this job or not I would be taking care of my body. Yoga is very good for me.”

Australian Miranda - who is dating Orlando Bloom - says having a healthy lifestyle is something she has grown up with: “It’s something that I’ve always believed in growing up. We always ate organic vegetables. Taking care of my mind, body and soul is very important.”

Miranda recently revealed she feels a responsibility as a model to promote healthy eating, particularly to the younger and more impressionable members of society. “As soon as you step into the public eye you need to take responsibility for the people you are influencing. Body image is something that the majority of young women struggle with and I do think it is important that models are seen to be healthy and at a weight that works for their body type.”

Ellen DeGeneres’ Vegan Figure

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,

Ellen DeGeneres credits her figure to her vegan diet.

The 52-year-old television presenter admits her youthful looks and toned physique are thanks to her long-time decision to not eat meat and avoid sugar.

“No cake, no cookies, no candy. No animals, no diary, nothing processed; a lot of soup, veggies, rice, beans, legumes. I want to be on my toes; I want to have energy. And as much as the diet seems like a sacrifice, it’s helping me.”

Ellen - who is the face of cosmetic firm CoverGirl - also says her figure comes thanks to an extreme version of yoga. She told Shape, “I first started doing power yoga in Los Angeles, which really makes no sense. It’s the opposite of what it should be. Yoga should calm down you.”

However, Ellen admits she has a tough time balancing her busy career and a healthy lifestyle: “It’s hard. But you have to make time to take care of yourself.” Although she is a fan of exercise, she has previously joked about the vibrating muscle workout trainer Shake Weight.  She said, “I was playing with it yesterday. And I have to say it really works. This is working out muscles I have never worked out in my whole life.”

Jennifer Aniston says that yoga changed her life.

The former Friends star appears in the introduction to Yogalosophy, a new workout DVD fronted by her friend and yoga instructor Mandy Ingber, and says she was amazed at the impact learning the discipline had on her.

In the short clip, she says, “She brought yoga into my life. It completely changed my life. It’s one of the most fun workouts I’ve ever had. So have fun and work hard because it will totally pay off.”

It was recently claimed that Jennifer, 40, flew Mandy from Los Angeles to New York to help her get in shape when playing a younger woman in The Bounty.

A source said, “Jennifer has had a totally overhaul for this film. She wants to be seriously fit, yet remain curvy. There are a lot of early starts on set, so she has had to get up at 3am to get two hours in the gym before filming at 5am. She is supposed to be playing a 35-year-old, and is concerned she won’t look the part now she is 40. It hasn’t been easy, but she has combined one-on-one yoga sessions with grueling weight and workout sessions. Her new body is the talk of the set and she is reveling in the attention. Everyone agrees that Jennifer is looking sensational at the moment. Her curves have definitely been noticed - she is glowing.”
