Sofia Vergara Diet and Exercise Plan

Sofia Vergara Diet and Exercise Plan

Sofia Vergara plays the famously sexy and funny Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on the hit show, Modern Family. She is also know for her curvy figure but like everyone else, she has to work to keep her body fit but also plans a diet that allows for her to maintain her curves. Wanna body like Sofia? Well, read on to learn some of her secrets to keeping her 38 year old body gorgeous and fit.

Like most of us, quality times with family and friends often includes food. She and her son love to cook meals together and she often meets her friends out for lunch. So, to keep from gaining weight, she says, “I have to control [what I eat] in my diet plan now especially when I’m getting ready for the Emmys. When I really want to be good and control myself, I have lollipops in my handbag — instead of having a tiramisu, I have a boring lollipop to stay true to my diet plan.” Also, Sofia does not eat red meat and sticks to an organic lifestyle. Vergara said, “Since I was used to eating organic in my diet plan back in Colombia, when I moved to Miami, the meat didn’t taste good to me, anyway, so I stopped including it in my diet plan. I’ve been off it for 16 years.”

As for exercise, Sofia is very honest about her feelings about it; She hates it and even said that the thought of doing fitness training exercises puts her in a bad mood. However, she understands that in her line of business, it is necessary, saying, “The truth is, you do fitness exercise program for health and you do look better. And I have a responsibility to the show. Nobody wants to see Gloria with a flat ass!” So, she found something she enjoys doing which also serves as a form of exercise – dancing to Latin music. It is a great form of cardio exercise. She and her trainer do dance fitness an hour a day, three times a week.

Daniel Craigs Diet & Workout Plan that Got Him Into “Bond” Status

Daniel Craigs Diet & Workout Plan that Got Him Into “Bond” Status

Daniel Craig was in fantastic shape before his role as James Bond in “Casino Royale,” but to get into those famous briefs, he chose the following diet and exercise plan.

Craig’s diet plan restricted him from consuming refined carbs (simple sugars) after 2pm. Nor was he allowed to consume starchy carbs (potatoes, bread) after 5 pm. He had to eat at least 2 pieces of fruit and drink 2 liters of water daily as well as to consume a post workout snack. Craig did consume alcohol but only on Friday’s and Saturdays. Here is a typical day while Craig followed this diet:

Breakfast: 2 Poached Eggs and 2 pieces of Toast
Snack: Protein Shake -or- fruits and Nuts
Lunch: Meat or Fish with small amount of Brown Rice -or- Baked Potato
Snack: Protein Shake -or- Yogurt with some Nuts
Dinner: Meat -or- Fish with some type of Leafy Green Vegetables like Salad, Spinach, or Broccoli.

As for his workout, Craig did a Circuit Training Routine, which is a routine that involves moving from one exercise to the next with minimal rest. This routine will keep the heart rate up which will burn loads of calories, burn fat and build muscle. Craig performed 4 “giant sets” which included 15 reps on each exercise. Each exercise is to be performed one after the other with as little rest as possible between sets. The routine should be done 3-4 times a week for 6 weeks. Here are some of the exercises Craig used in his circuit training routine:

The Clean and Jerk: Stand with your heels on the ground. Grab a barbell like you are going to deadlift it. Lift it to your mid thighs, flip to your chest, then press overhead.

Squat: Traditional squats with wide stance and toes pointing out a bit. Just go down to 90 degrees. Don’t lock out at the top.

Bench Press: Basic barbell bench press, but take 3 seconds to lower and one second to raise the weight. Don’t lockout at top.

Pull Ups or Chin Ups: Take an overhand grip, and make sure you go up high enough to where your chin goes over the bar. If these are too difficult use a chin up machine or lat pull down machine.

Dips: Basic dips and go down to where your elbows reach 90 degrees before going back up. Use a Gravitron machine that assists you with dips if you are not strong enough.

Barbell Curls: Use a straight bar if possible and use a full range of motion.

Dumbbell Lateral Raises: Bend your arms 90 degree’s and use a strict motion to raise the dumbbells to shoulder level. It is best to use a light weight and be strict with these.

Kelly Ripa’s Diet and Exercise Plan

Kelly Ripa’s Diet and Exercise Plan

Kelly Ripa is the epitome of “super woman.” She is 1/2 of the wildly entertaining show, Live With Regis and Kelly. She is a married mother of 3 boys. She is on the other side of 40 but looks like she is in her 20’s with the same energy of a 20-something. So, what is her secret? We are here to fill you in on part of that secret, which is her diet and exercise routine.

As for Kelly’s diet plan, she doesn’t do diets. Rather, she exercises strict portion control. One thing she does that is considered a no-no is that she skips breakfast, save for her coffee addiction. She starts eating around mid-morning and eats small and healthy meals throughout the day. She was lucky enough to hire a family chef who educated her regarding nutrition and portion control. Ripa says she sticks to basic foods such as fruit, nuts and yogurt for snacks. She even said, “I’ll have an apple or carrot sticks in my purse so I’m not reaching for potato chips.” She also fills her fills with eating leafy greens and keeps her saturated fats at a minimum.”

As for Kelly’s fitness routine, she makes many a woman jealous! But I assure you, her routine is feasible! Ripa is hooked on a program called “Physique 57,” which is a fitness routine that combines Pilates, ballet and calisthenics. It is an hour filled with fast-paced, intense exercises that combine upper body strength and fitness training. Ripa said of Physique 57, “I saw a difference physically within five classes….I’m a short person, but I’m becoming longer and leaner. The class exercises your glutes, your abs, and your obliques. It’s all about building muscles then stretching it out. I’ve never been addicted to something like this!” While you would think doing this routine 4 times a week is enough, it’s not for Ripa. She also works with fitness trainer, Keith Byard, who is an ex-marine. She typically runs five miles a day, five days a week.
