Sometimes I log more than my fair share of hours on my tush - behind my desk, in the car, in front of the TV. And all that sitting can turn even the tightest buns into rice pudding.

In L.A., I see people who are always in their cars, always driving. I encourage them to walk more - walk to the post office, walk to lunch. Even if it is a 10-minute walk, it's so good for you.

When my jeans feel too tight, I know I need to cut back on desserts and step up my workouts.

I know lots of women who have slim legs but refuse to wear skirts because of unsightly varicose or spider veins. Though heredity plays a role, your genes don't have to doom you to a life of long pants.

Stretching exercises promote flexibility, so you move fluidly.

Need a body-confidence boost? Pick up a pair of dumbbells and let your gaze linger on the outline of your biceps as you lift the weights.

Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.

When you dance, you can enjoy the luxury of being you.

“No shortcuts, work for it.”

“Excuses don't burn calories.”

“Don't you dare give up.”

“Keep killin' it."

“Prove them wrong."

“Results on. Excuses off."

“Hustle hard baby girl."

“3 months from now, you will thank yourself."

“Don't get discouraged”

"I fell in love with doing yoga."

"Yoga is a life-saver."

The pose begins when you want to leave it.

Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

Quiet the mind and the soul will speak.

Sweat – Smile – and repeat.

Inhale love, exhale hate
