Celebrity Trainer Gunnar Peterson Says Get More Sleep
Celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson is no stranger to pet projects. Not only did he help Jennifer Lopez train for her triathlon last Fall, he also teamed up with Molly Sims to help the canine set get some more exercise with the PetFit Challenge. These days he is teaming up with Gatorade to spread the fitness word, which he did at the G Gym during the Sundance Film Festival.
Jennifer Lopez Training for a Tri
New mother of twins, Jennifer Lopez has decided to do a triathlon this Fall. She is working with celebrity trainer, Gunnar Peterson to get ready for her bike, swim, and run against time. OK Magazine got the scoop from Gunnar — here are highlights:
“The workouts change daily, depending on the day, the time and the freedom,” he says.
Reality Check
I read quotes all the time where a startling fit celebrity claims to rarely exercise and to eat whatever she wants. I am often skeptical, but like to give the celeb the benefit of the doubt. Celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson (he's trained Angelina, Jennifer Lopez, and Penelope Cruz) trained offered up the little gem of a reality check on the seedy, underbelly of the LA fitness world:
I had one actress who trained with me and took six Spin classes a week.
Get PetFit With Gunnar and Molly
Trainer to the stars, Gunnar Peterson along with the help of Molly Sims, is looking to get people active with their pets in the PetFit Challenge. This nationwide challenge aims to get pets and their owners on track for an active, healthy, and happy life together. I love the idea so I'll be signing up my dog and myself, as we can both always use the extra push to get moving — let's hope she likes lunges as much as I do.
Molly Sims and Poupette Get Fit . . . and You Can, Too!
Getting fit starts with you! Sign the online PetFit Challenge and get ready to make a change for your dog or cat. The site offers useful features like a calorie-burn chart, a treat translator, and a fairly terrifying "human parallel" showing how your pet's additional pounds would translate on a human body.
Tips From Celebrity Trainers
One way that celebrities get to look the way they do is with personal trainers who have earned a bit of a celebrity title themselves. The back of their heads (i.e. Harley Pasternak training Sophia Bush pictured below) are always seen on PopSugar, so it's no wonder they are making a name for themselves based on the big names they work with.
Jumping Rope For Fitness Fun!
Remember the summers of your youth, jumping rope on the sidewalk with your friends? Good fun mixed with good exercise that didn't even feel like exercise. I am here to say, it might just be time to put jumping rope back into your fitness routine.
Words That Move You...
"It should be as unthinkable to skip your workout as it is to skip brushing your teeth."

Debra Messing was definitely very thin during her Will & Grace days but, like almost every woman on the planet, Debra gained a bit of weight during her pregnancy.
