How to work out like a kid

May 16th, 2008 15:00

Getting fit with kids\' activities is the latest trend.Our guest writer Louise Robertson is back to tell us how to get fit in a very childish way…

With uniform tracksuits pounding away on rows of neatly spaced treadmills, you could be forgiven for thinking the gym is a meeting place for pre-programmed robots.

OK, the gym does work and you get results if you put in the effort, but when did it all get so… well, grown up and boring?

Why not mix it up a bit? Exercise like a kid and have fun at the same time. No, there isn’t a catch, just hours of potentially hilarious, reminiscent, fat burning fun.

American website www.celebrity-gossip.net made pains to point out that, when spotted on her bike in the fair city of London, Ms Halliwell “was actually breaking the law by riding on the sidewalk.” Naughty Geri!

Cheryl Cole feels fat and spotty

Despite her skinny little frame attracting criticism and snarky blog posts (soz), the new X Factor judge has been telling anyone who’ll listen that she has her fat and spotty days.


She’s already said that she hates her legs – which are lovely, note please – and now she’s admitted to feeling insecure about her looks.

Apparently, her love rat husband, Ashley Cole, prefers her to look like all the girls I see in my local precinct pushing prams with their smoking hand:

“When I’ve got no make-up on, hair scraped off my head, he always says ‘Oh, you look cute!’ because it’s the complete opposite to how he’s used to seeing me every day.”

She told Heat:

“There will be times when I’ve got changed three of more times before I leave the house.

“Could be hormones, bad hair day, feel fat or spotty. I have it all.

“I’ve got a new fondness for high-waisted jeans because they make my legs look longer.”

But they make your trunk look short?!
