You know Pink and Carey Hart heart have nasty, dirty sex. She’s totally my girlfriend. Like, as in the kind of girl I would hang out with. We were the bitches cutting class, smoking in the parking lot and blowing boys behind the dumpster. Oh, high school memories. Or last week, take your pick.
Because I’m like a real writer and stuff, I often talk to celebrity types…blah blah blah you all know this crap who cares. That’s beside the point. But I do have a good pink story; and tips from her trainer too.
When Pink busted out on the scene, she was hailed as the next big thing and became an instant sensation. She went to no.1 with her first single and her success hasn’t stopped since; which is generally a recipe for diva behavior and a bad attitude. Instead, she has a BAD ASS attitude and was the complete opposite of a diva when the website I worked for hosted her during a live chat. She was extremely cool, introduced herself to me and sat with her legs uncrossed the whole time. When a message board troll started sending negative comments, Pink called the bitch out by saying she was “awesome” and that she wanted her “at every live chat I ever do.”
It was my duty to moderate the questions. That’s how I put Pink to the test. Somebody asked her thoughts about gay marriage (yes this was still a hot topic 10 years ago). Giving me a knowing glance, she said, “I’d marry a gay guy, if that makes sense.”
So that’s how I met Pink. She was rad.
Recently I pulled an interview with her trainer Tanja Djelevic, who gave me her “propers.”
4 Proper Principles for Physical Transformation
1) Proper Mindset
Think of 5 motivating things that will help you change your life and write them down. Maybe you’d like to get into those designer jeans that you love, de-stress, or just have more energy. Starting a new ritual or routine can be demanding, so go back to your 5 motivators once a week and remind yourself what your goal is! Maybe even put that list on the fridge, in your Blackberry, or in your car so that it is visible at all times.
2) Proper Training
Activities that you consider fun are also easier to accomplish, so choose a form of exercise you really enjoy. Start finding the joy — it might be finding a friend to walk with and share stories, or maybe it’s simply dancing by yourself to your favorite music. It can be anything, and the best part of it is, you are the director of finding the fun.
3) Proper Recovery
Schedule some time for breathing and relaxing. Recovery exercises may include yoga, focusing on stretching your muscles, or using the foam roller to do some myofascial release while breathing deeply.
4) Proper Food
Stick to the foods Mother Earth gave us as much as possible. Eat whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and proteins (animal or your own choice). After some time, the body adapts to clean healthy foods, and it will reject processed unnatural foods. Listen to your body and it will tell you what you need. Eat with a loving heart since you know that it is benefiting you so much and you have made good choices.
