How Vanessa Minnillo Is Getting Fit For Her Big Day With Nick Lachey

Michele Foley — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 15:54:24 PST

Like many brides-to-be, Vanessa Minnillo is stepping up her fitness game before the big day. The star, who became engaged to Nick Lachey in November, has been working out three times a week with celeb trainer Gunnar Peterson. At a recent Under Armour event for its new Charged Cotton activewear, Vanessa told InTouch Weekly that she and Gunnar have been working out hard and that he trains her "like an athlete." She's still eating the kinds of food she wants, like pizza, but practicing portion control. Most of all it seems like Vanessa has a healthy attitude: "I am happy with where my body is now. I am happy in general, and I think it's all connected."

Lo Bosworth and Kat Von D Box It Out

FitSugar — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 17:00:18 PDT

It looks like Lo Bosworth may have picked up the same love for boxing that her bestie Lauren Conrad has. Lo showed off her skills with the gloves at the first "Muscle Milk Light" women's fitness retreat. Besides boxing, the reality star also practiced some yoga. Other celebs like Kat Von D and Karina Smirnoff also stopped by to sweat it out in their Under Armour gear (one of the event's sponsors).

Gear Review: Revenant Running Shoe by Under Armour

FitSugar — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 10:00:00 PST

Known for its sturdy workout wear, Under Armour is adding shoes to its repertoire. I just took the stability sneaker, UA Revenant ($120), out for a couple of test runs, and I mean that literally. After wearing them around the house for some light cleaning, I wore them for a long jog on the road. They felt great. Supportive and well cushioned, the Revenant is designed to prevent overpronation, rolling too far to the inside of the foot, something I am prone to doing. I felt as if I could feel the shoes steering me toward the outside of the foot and I appreciated the help.

I also tested them on the treadmill and again they felt great. They fit really well, felt cushioned in all the right places, and my feet didn't overheat as they sometimes can when running indoors. Never having worn sneakers with pink on them, I will admit I like the feminine hot pink accents. The mesh fabric is gray, or as Under Armour refers to it, "smoked pearl," so the shoes are not glaring white.

You can purchase these running shoes directly from Under Armour. They run true to size. Or if you want to try them on, which I recommend when shopping for a new running shoe, check out the store locator.

Gear Review: Under Armour Tank Prevents Chafing

FitSugar — Fri, 23 May 2008 11:00:00 PDT

Now that it so unbelievably gorgeous outside, I'm inspired to run for longer periods of time. The problem is my normal tank tops have seams that irritate the inside of my arms. If you have that problem too, check out the Under Armour HeatGear Movement Tank ($45).

You can see in the photo that the seams are moved to the back and the front, so even on an hour long run, I didn't have to worry about anything rubbing my skin. I also love the wide straps, since thinner straps tend to dig into my shoulders and leave marks. I also really appreciate the built-in sports bra and that the higher neckline kept my cleavage covered. Also the racerback style let me move my arms easily in all directions without any sense of constriction. Another great thing about this tank is that it wicked away my sweat, so even though my face was dripping, my shirt stayed dry and comfy. As if I didn't already love this tank enough, the name of this color is Pink Sugar. How cool is that? It also comes in Black, Clover (green), and Salsa (red). If you are interested in buying your own wicking sugar tank, you can find one here.

Get the Look: Hayden's Armour

FitSugar — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 14:30:00 PST

Hayden Panettiere has been seriously hitting the gym lately and she seems to love her Under Armour gear. I personally love that she mixes it up with color - today she is sporting bright pink shorts that I just have to have.

To see where to get them, just

Hayden's HeatGear UA Tech Shorts ($22) look very similar to the Nike Tempo shorts, but are just a bit less expensive. I love that they have a rollover waistband because it allows the wearer to control the length of the shorts. Since they're made by Under Armour, you know they'll perform well in the gym. I am always looking for cute new shorts to add to my gear, so I may be putting these in my letter to Santa this year. Pacific Coast News
