If you're finding yourself phoning it in during gym class or on the treadmill, listen up: you're not going to see results that way. If you want to make sure that you're burning the most calories, here's an easy tip to remember from Lucy Activewear ambassador and celebrity Pilates instructor Kit Rich that will help ensure that you're burning the most calories in class. The secret to maximal calorie burn? Always engage your abs. It doesn't just cause you to squeeze a couple more calories out of your workout; it connects you to your workout to help you exercise harder. Activating your core "connects to the part of the brain that releases more endorphins and dopamine," Kit explains. "So it essentially tells yourself, 'I love me.'"

Congrats to Kate Middleton and Prince William on their son George's christening today!
Kate looked lovely at the ceremony and is really looking amazing these days... especially when her post-pregnancy flat-as-a-board abs were exposed on the volleyball court last week. Some girls just have all the luck...and awesome DNA to match.
For the rest of us, it takes work to get our pre-baby bodies back, so I asked celebrity trainer Kit Rich (she's responsible for Ke$ha's rock hard abs) to suggest some exercises.
She came up with these starter exercises specifically for women who have just had ...

She’s never been one for modesty, and Ke$ha attracted plenty of attention outside the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” studio in Hollywood last night (October 14).
The “Cannibal” songstress was more than happy to pose for a few photos in her semi-see-through black top with a powder blue skirt and black heels.
Given that Ke$ha has been much more eager to show skin as of late, her trainer Kit Rich has offered up some tips on how he’s helped the pop singer get into such good shape.
Rich explained, "We've been doing a lot of circuit training and incorporating Pilates exercises with weights that heighten and shape the butt. Lunges, squats, stairs and isolated glute exercises."
"I play her own music while we're working out. I tell her it's the best workout music! She's seriously the funniest person I've ever met! She's always making jokes and even when she's tired she still shows up.

If you follow Ke$ha on Instagram than you know she's been sharing a lot of risqué shots of her bare booty lately. Clearly a fan of the "If you've got it, flaunt it" motto—the singer has posted three close ups of her derriere in October alone and we're only halfway through the month. Not that we're judging her by no means. Especially since according to her trainer Kit Rich, the pop star has been putting in a lot of hard work to achieve that perfect posterior—Who could blame her wanting to show it off? So what exactly does her fitness plan include? "We've been doing a lot of circuit training and incorporating Pilates exercises with weights that...

We're still in April, but already my weekends are filling up past Memorial Day. I wish I could say it was for something glamorous, but mostly it's an endless schedule of kids' birthday parties, which are proving to be quite good at wreaking havoc on any healthy habits I may have.
