December 19th, 2008 15:35
Want to be more productive, happier and less stressed, with the emphasis on ‘more productive’, of course? Try building some exercise into your working day.
Gym rage sweeps nation
August 17th, 2008 17:35
Perhaps. According to the Daily Mail, which has got itself all hot and bothered about the latest really bad [definitely not silly season story] Apocalyptic craze sure to cause mass moral destruction to all four corners of, er, the Home Counties.
Mobiles ringing, tinny, happy house bubbling out of earphones, sweaty communal saddles and overt-grunting have all set gym-goers off on a Falling Down-style rampage.
How a live-in dancing tutor helped Nicole Kidman shift baby weight
August 7th, 2008 12:46
It’s hard to believe sometimes that Nicole Kidman had a baby just a few weeks ago.
The Hollywood star gave birth to her daughter, Strawberry Sundae (or something like that) only last month, but has already shed her baby weight.
Some have claimed it to be a miracle. Even we started to think the whole pregnancy thing was a cunning trick, and that Nicole Kidman had simply adopted another child and stuffed a pillow down her top to make it look natural.
Get fit - by simply taking a pill
August 4th, 2008 10:12
Imagine getting all the benefits of exercising every day - by simply taking a pill.
I know, it seems too good to be true, doesn’t it? I think we all like the idea of losing weight, getting fit and improving our muscle tone without even getting out of breath.
Kevin Federline fitness DVD coming to ruin your 2009
July 28th, 2008 12:31
If you thought the release of the worst single ever, Popozao, was the lowest point in Kevin Federline’s ‘career’- think again.
That’s because Britney Spears’ ex-husband plans to release a fitness DVD.
Fancy getting into J-Lo’s sweaty clothes?
June 10th, 2008 12:15
Where would we be without J-Lo?
Not happy with making us look good out on the town, the Hollywood diva now wants you to look good in the gym.
Now, of course, the ‘actress’ can do very little about the red face and the unsightly sweat patches.
She’s not a miracle worker, after all. But Jennifer Lopez is about to launch her range of exercise clothes in the hope of turning treadmills into catwalks. Just remember to sashay and pout while exercising.
Exercise ‘does not make obese children slim’
May 27th, 2008 09:00
It seems that it was Jamie Oliver, rather than the PE teachers, who had the right idea.
Apparently, exercise is not really beneficial for obese children - rather, a healthy diet would be the better plan.
So, should we lock our kids inside at breaktimes? Feed them fruit instead of encouraging them to run around with a football?
DietPixie discovers how real women look good and stay healthy
May 27th, 2008 09:00
It’s all well and good to get the inside info on Charlotte Church’s home gym or what type of fruit we should eat to get a flatter stomach, but isn’t it more useful and refreshing to hear how real women diet?
Many of us juggle high-pressure jobs and a busy home life, with barely a second to even think about going to the gym.
We spoke to Ruth Pugh, 22, a support worker from Middlesbrough, about all things diet…
The top ten tunes to accompany your run
May 20th, 2008 09:00
A poll of thousands of marathon runners found that the cheesy 80s hit - which is the theme tune to Rocky III - was the hit they most liked to have on their iPods while jogging.
It beat classics like Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now and Keep on Running by the Spencer Davis Group to the finishing line.
So why did it win? I mean, it’s not as if you can expect small children running alongside you as you climb the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art , is it?

We asked Leila Day, 23, a student from Huddersfield, to tell us how she stays in shape.
How to work out like a kid
May 16th, 2008 15:00
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.
Amy Winehouse On Beach, In Bikini, Has Been Eating Food
Breaking news: Amy Winehouse is not, at the time of going to press, on the brink of death. As recently as yesterday, she was frolicking on a beach in the sun like an actual human.
The troubled singer-songwriter (where “troubled” is an euphemism for ‘we expect her to be found dead in a ditch any second’) spent Sunday on a beach in St. Lucia. We thought she was in rehab in London, but OK.
So far, her latest stint in treatment doesn’t seem to have done Wino any harm; splashing around in a pair of bikini bottoms, she’s distinctly less skeletal and has clearly undergone the process that the Daily Mail refers to as “packing on the pounds” and we at DietPixie call “starting to consume something other than crack”.
Amy has also reportedly started working out for two hours a day - and it seems ‘working out’ is not just code for ‘rolling around on the floor, clawing at the walls and screaming for drugs/booze/Blake’. She has apparently hired a personal trainer and “bounds in to work out on the bikes, weights and Power Plate”.
On the one hand, I’m pleased to see Amy looking a bit more human and actually smiling for a change. On the other hand, things have got pretty bad if Amy freaking Winehouse spends more time in the gym than I do. Who am I supposed to use now as my ‘it could be worse’ person? “It could be worse, you could be Amy Winehouse.” It’s not going to work if she’s running around on Caribbean beaches, now is it?
Still, there’s always Britney.
