Meh, this is just another form or appropriating women’s bodies.

Not everyone is going to be motivated by someone saying how “thick” and “fleshy” your body is - the method of training is largely dependent on the person.

I personally find it obnoxious but I’m aware that some people are highly motivated by that kind of talk. Depends on who you are: some people will push harder with the cardio/weights, some people would end up eating chocolate, and some people would just kick him in the nuts.

What I don’t like about it is him seeming to imply that insulting a clients body is *the* method that works. I find it a bit disturbing when these people lose sight of the fact that it’s a person’s body they’re talking about - you know, a person with feelings - so that everything becomes like dismembered body parts. It’s creepy.

If any actress out there epitomizes the hourglass figure it’s either Catherine Zeta Jones or Salma Hayek. Demi’s is not bad, it’s just more of a long, lean, athletic build than hourglass.

Plus, how could Demi Moore epitomize an hourglass figure when earlier in the article, the trainer-author is quoted as saying that she lacks a defined waist? A small(er) waist is a primary requirement for an hourglass shape!

I don’t think being insulted by mypersonal trainer would help me lose any weight.

As for Demi, how exactly does she have an hour-glass figure?
She is very fit and trim, but not curvy. With her fake boobs, she looks more like a board with balls stapled to it!

Agreed, Cindy. Naomi is who and what Nicole Kidman wishes she was.

Cate Blanchette, I reckon.

As for Demi, she may have had thousands of dollars of PS but she’s also worked out hard to get that GI Jane and Charlies Angels body - you can see it in her musculature.

Ashton Kutcher likes to play ‘find the liver spots’.

I think that all this does is show that you need to do some hard work in order to look like a celebrity. Many of them lie in interviews and say that they just eat everything they want and play with their kids, but you’re silly if you think that. I think “thick” and “fleshy” are relatively kind words to describe a larger body. How much more kindly do you want him to word it? Or would you rather he lie as well? I think lack of self control and will power is a major problem in this country. We can shame people for smoking and doing drugs etc. because it’s bad for their health, but if you merely suggest that someone not each so much you’re suddenly a hateful person (before anybody brings up people with diseases that can’t control their weight–that’s not who I’m talking about). If someone can be motivated to change because they admire a celebrity who worked hard to change, I’m fine with that. His language wasn’t perfect, but he conveyed a message. I wish we could all be a little less sensitive about health-related issues and learn to deal with reality.

Wait, what? Since when is ‘fleshy’ a negative thing to be? Does he prefer people who look bony or something? She’s a human being, we’re SUPPOSED to be fleshy.

Naomi Watts has never been “fleshy” in her whole life - she is a goddess.
