I read somewhere that abs are made in the kitchen, and I'd like to agree. I like to think that I try to eat pretty clean, pretty good food.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I personally think you can have a really rich and full life with no abs. Abs are for wimps.
I always work on my abs, every single day. As Miss Universe, exercising your abdominal muscles is mandatory!
A way you can get really good abs in film is you get your makeup artist to paint shadows - faux washboard. But if you see me in a movie and I have great abs, it means I have a great body double.
People will say, 'How do I get abs like you?' I don't know. We're all different. If my girlfriend did what I did, hiking and yoga for a workout, it would affect her body in a different way. That's the message that I really want to get out there. I'm trying to counteract that culture.
If you follow a strict diet for a few months, flaunting six packs abs is no big deal.
The body is an amazing machine... If you eat the right things your body will perform incredibly well!
I do abs every day: regular, weighted crunches and sit-ups every other day, then my obliques and my sides on the alternating day. So I'm working my core every day.
I think my cooking these days is a lot more relaxed from when I was working in professional kitchens. Spending time in people's kitchens made me realize that people want to eat healthy meals that are easy to prepare, with minimal ingredients that can be made on a budget.
Real food, I've found, is actually better than dieting.
I hate all the core stuff. That's why I have to have a trainer. That's the only way I'm going to do the abs work.
