When it comes to getting the motivation to eat healthy and exercise regularly, people find motivation all over the place. Maybe you're inspired by an upcoming event like a vacation, or maybe you have health problems in your family you want to avoid, or you have a personal weight goal you want to achieve.
Seeing other people living healthy lifestyles, especially celebrities, can actually be inspirational. While I really appreciate not needing to worry how I will look in a bikini on film, I do find inspiration in celebs who take care of themselves because it makes them feel confident and full of energy. Jennifer Garner, Madonna, Ashlee Simpson, Sheryl Crow, Hayden Panettiere and Hilary Swank are a few of the celebs that inspire me on days when I don't feel like exercising. So tell me, which celebs inspire you to work out and be healthy?
Colline
Roberto Cavalli
Bottega Veneta
HILARY DUFF!!!
she is my biggest inspiration because she looks healthy and promotes a healthy lifestyle
1ummm I don't need celebs to inspire me! I do it for me!
2Jennifer Aniston. I would do anything to have a butt like hers.
I almost said I would do anything to have her butt, but that sounded kinda weird.

4Well I don't use them (that much), but I guess maybe Chloe Sevigny? She has awesome legs. She's not one of the actors you typically might see on covers of fitness magazines, but the ones that are aren't really my favorite famous people so I can't really be all that inspired by them. I guess maybe Brigitte Bardot in the early 1960s too. My waist won't be as tiny as hers was when she was really young, but it's inspires me anyway. And I guess I would also pick Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley (another one with awesome legs). I don't really know if I'm inspired by anyone else.
5Hmmm Jen Garner...
6Jennifer Garner and Jessica Simpson for me
7jen garner, avangeline lilly, jessica biel...love that kind of hard/soft/capable/sexy bod!
8I don't exactly look to celebs for inspiration to work out.
9But I do admire Heidi Klum, who seems to snap back into shape about 10 minutes after giving birth. I'd like to know what she does.
Jessica Biel and Fergie Ferg
10Ok I freakin' love Reese Witherspoon. First off, because she's short and not emaciated looking... But mainly because we always see tons of pictures of her eating ice cream
and equally as many pictures of her jogging and doing exercises at the park. I love that
balance she has. She seems to live life to the fullest and not let the Hollywood ideal of having a skeleton look ruin her life - mmmm... ice cream 
I wrote a blog about it. You can read it here if you want to!
11Mariska Hargitay.
Cameron Diaz.
Fergie.
12Jessica Biehl, Jennifer Garner and Hilary Swank are definitely my top inspirations.
13Don't really care about celebrities...
14Not exactly celebrities but;
Jillian Michaels because of her passion for Muay Thai kickboxing....which is my passion as well.
I also adore Sara Ivanhoe and fitness model Meghan White.
Not celebrities but they inspire me to workout.
15I agree with WeightingGame, I like that tough girl body, Evangeline Lily, Jen Garner, Kate Beckinsale even Kate Bosworth from her Blue Crush days
16Hayden, Reese and Cameron Diaz...different body types, but they all inspire...
17I always look to Jessica Alba. It always makes me sad that she seems to hate her body so much, but she takes really good care of herself.
18Reese and Fergie
19I don't know...maybe Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson, Jennifer Garner...
20Jessica Biel, Kate Winslet - they both don't apologize for not being tiny and emaciated like most of Hollywood.
21I take inspiration from anywhere I can, including celebs.
Brooke Burke is a biggy for me. . . also Reese Witherspoon, Hayden Panetierre, some pro triathletes and runners (Kara Goucher). I am mostly internally motivated but when I see others working hard it makes me smile.
22Reese Witherspoon for the reasons mentioned above. Heidi Klum and Kelly Rippa, too.
23I don't follow most celebs, but Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Madonna, and Jessica Simpson all motivate me to keep working out to look good.
24I'm with Lovely_1. I don't need inspiration from others. I get all the inspiration I need from the mirror. My dedication to a healthy lifestyle pays off. I'm motivated to keep it up. I know that sounds cocky, but it's true.
25Reese Witherspoon and Lindsay price from lipstick jungle!
26hilary duff, kate hudson, evangeline lilly, and rihanna (:
27Hayden Panettiere, definitely. Also a big fan of Rosario Dawson & Uma Thurman, they always look healthy & happy.
28MMadonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna Madonna MADONNA...
You get the point. =)
29I drew a blank when thinking of a celebrity that inspires me to workout. I do respect Jannifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon for the way they balance their fitness with the rest of their lives.
30I dont really get inspired but Kelly Ripa is looking ridiculous lately. I like that she does real workouts, adopted a healthy lifestyle and after 3 kids looks better than I ever will
31i have to say madonna because she is such a disciplined individual who takes her health seriously and puts so much effort and time into her body. i wouldnt say i am necessarily inspired by her, what inspires me to keep in good shape is my belief that my body is my tool and i have to look after it; but madonnas energy and dedication is so powerful and that always makes me look up to her in that area.
32jennifer esposito, of all people. i have an issue of shape with her on the cover from a few months ago strategically placed in my bathroom, and she looks awesome--not too skinny or muscle-y, just fit and still curvy.
33Everytime I see a picture of Cameron Diaz in a bikini, I want to hit the gym. Also, Uma in "Kill Bill. Angie, when she's not preggers. Especially when I see pictures or movies of a Jolie pre Brad when she was sexy and not super skinny. Beyonce's thighs and butt make me want to do squats.
34if I have to say one celebrity:Madonna; her discipline!
35I don't need celebrities for fitness inspiration, but the ones I respect would be Katherine Heigl, Madonna, Jennifer Garner, and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
36I like more womanly bodies: Halle Berry, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson - and even Kim Kardashian.
Those Madonna types are one step away from MAN in my opinion.
37I also work out for myself. Never thought I would work out to achieve the body celebs have. Especially when nowadays you never know who's gone under the knife to get a flat tummy / whatever.
38Cameron Diaz on the cover of GQ.
39I do it for myself, don't need someone else to inspire me
40I like that Heidi Klum admits that she hates to work out but does it anyway. I loved Kate Bosworth in Blue Crush. Jessica Biel's butt is a holy grail. Jessica Simpson looks great now! SO much better than the whole freaky muscle thing from Dukes of Hazzard. Ick. LOL!
41Kate hudson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish i had small lady lumps like her. ;-(
Hayden does not inspire me whatsoever. she looks bloated 24-7
42kate moss...
i always think, yeah, she's so sexy and skinny and she just smokes and doesn't work out...then i remember that i don't smoke and i do need to work out to stay in shape
43Jessica Biel!
