Lauren Conrad and Lo Bosworth Disagree on Spinning

While talking to PopSugar on their way to A Time For Heroes Celebrity Carnival , LC and Lo talked health and fitness. Lauren told Pop that the housemates cook a lot at home and are firm supporters of organic food. Among many things they share, one is a personal trainer. They do not, however, share the same opinion when it comes to spinning. Here’s a brief exchange to clue us in to their fitness personalities: Lo: I just started spin and Lauren went with me. LC: - and I hate it. I prefer boxing or hiking, more fun activities. Lo: I love it though. I think it’s just important to keep it varied so you don’t hit a plateau. Last year we learned that LC loved boxing , and glad to hear she is sticking with it - you gotta do what you love. I share a love of spinning with Lo. What about you? Where do you stand in the great spinning debate? Source

Do Celebrity Weight Battles Cause More Harm Than Good?

Weight issues don’t make someone famous, but they frequently become center stage once celebrity status is official. Sure, the general public is overly concerned by struggles with the scale. But the celebrities who publicize their weight battles could be damaging the way the overweight public handles their own body issues. The New York Times takes issue with celebrity weight battles in a piece that explores the various ways celebs deal with their public struggles. The Times interviewed overweight women who feel offended and unmotivated when Kirstie Alley makes statements like “I was so much more disgusting than I thought!” and when Oprah admits that she’s embarrassed about hitting 200 pounds again. Self-esteem takes a beating when “before” pictures resemble what these women currently see in the mirror, and this affects the way the public perceives people who are overweight. Still, as one weight stigma expert says, “Celebrities can show us how complex this problem is. Even if you have all the resources at your fingertips, it doesn’t make you immune. So it’s important to see that it’s a battle for everyone.” Do Celebrity Weight Battles Cause More Harm Than Good? Yes, I think public celebrity weight battles cause more harm than good. No, I don’t think publicized weight battles cause more harm than good.
