All tag results for 'dedication'

Maybe we just don't get it, but wouldn't $10,000 (and time) be better spent in some other kind of way??

Regardless of what we think, this man doesn't agree — because that's exactly what he used 10 g's on… baseball tattoos!

Mike McWain is a 39 year old Washington man who has quite the love affair with baseball. This would probably make him one of the biggest fans of the sport, ever!

And no, this wasn't something he's been doing for years and having it accumulate: it took about 180 hours over the course of a year.

From the looks of his arm tats, if we're not mistaken, there are pictures of two little children. We wonder what they could have used that $10k for cough future tuition cough!

Pretty much all of baseball history is on this guy! We'll admit, that takes a certain kind of dedication, that's for sure!

What do U think? Cool or not??

That's dedication!

She really knows how to keep her fit figure.

On Victoria Beckham's birthday yesterday, she turned 38 and when her family took her out, she had a fruit platter instead of a birthday cake.

Of all the days to have a cheat day… we feel like a birthday would be it.

But not for Vicki! She wrote on twitter:

"Birthday lunch!!! Such a lovely day!!!! X vb."

She tweeted the pic (above) of her "cake" and hopefully others were inspired to make healthier choices throughout their day.

She's never been known as much of an eater, but seriously?

It's your birthday, gurl! Go crazy!

Though we really do admire her commitment to healthy eating.

It's almost the end of the year now and we think the biggest gym rat that we've featured on FitPerez has got to be Ashley Tisdale.

That's not a bad thing either, gurl! So take pride in your accomplishment!

The physically fit actress has been a regular photo feature on this site and we couldn't be more proud of her for sticking to her exercise routine all year!

Most recently, Ashley was spotted heading to the gym again on Wednesday wearing a hot pair of short shorts and a shirt that proudly declares this will be the 33rd time we've seen her working out!

We're just kidding, but that number may not be too far off. Check out all the pics below!

Scarlett Johansson has always been a sultry beauty, but in recent years has put in a lot of effort to make sure her body is tight and toned.

She once mentioned in an interview that "she'd only seen a gym from the outside", but since taking on action-packed roles like Black Widow in Iron Man 2 and the upcoming Avengers movie, she's had to take a peak inside — a lot!

Here are five fitness secrets of Scarlett's that have lead to the fabulous figure she's sporting today.

Mickey Rourke is in great shape — and with that shape comes dedication and effort.

Keep at it, Mickey!

A recent survey has revealed that 65% of the women in America wish they had Jennifer Aniston's abs.

Well ladies, that toned tummy didn't appear over night. In fact, it's the result of working out for 22 long years with El Lay yoga instructor Mandy Ingber!

The successful teacher created and coined her "yogalosophy" by combining traditional yoga poses with calisthenics to increase body strength and flexibility.

In the interview below, Mandy not only discusses what it's like working with Jen, but what it takes to get a body like hers — motivation, dedication, and hydration!

What pose is hardest for Jen?

“It may be plank. I hear her grunt with that one sometimes. Or bringing the knee to the forehead from downward-facing dog—the moves that really engage the core.”

What poses does Jen like the most?

“She likes sun salutations. Those are good for her arms. And she loves balancing poses. She’s very focused and graceful. She could stay in tree pose longer than I could! She’s learned how to stay focused amid a bunch of other stuff happening.”

How are celebs like Jen different when they practice yoga?

“They’re not. There’s no secret. Everyone has to heat up and sweat through it. I’m not here to feed spirituality. I’m no guru, and I don’t see myself as that. Spirituality is highly personal. But what I do with celebs is motivate to keep their workouts going. People need motivation on a daily basis.”

What’s different about your approach to yoga?

“It’s light-hearted and open-minded. I don’t take it too seriously. Life is hard enough—exercise is hard enough! Yoga is detached in a way. It shows you that you shouldn’t let things bother you too much.”

How should you prepare for a hot yoga class?

“Hydration is key. Coconut water or Emergen-C, the vitamin drink mix, are full of electrolytes to fuel the body and have nutritional value but won’t give you that full-stomach feeling, which can make it hard to practice yoga.”

I’ve seen people suddenly explode into tears or laugh like hyenas in classes. What’s that about?

“Yoga can trigger a hit and release sensation. We hold a lot in our bodies. When we get physical and start moving, old stuff comes up to be released. That’s part of the purification process. That’s part of the transformation. We all feel so much better after. The real teacher is your body.”
