Jessica Biel’s superior athleticism mortifies poor Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake and girlfriend Jessica Biel feel the burn during a work out with their trainer in Los Angeles
Jessica Biel frightens her boyfriend, Justin Timberlake. These aren’t fears about commitment, or babies, or even career setbacks. Justin’s bête noire isn’t even that his girlfriend is so ravishingly beautiful that she’ll never be able to work or function again. No, Justin is merely scared of Jessica’s “superior athleticism”. It has Justin “mortified” according to the National Enquirer. Apparently Jessica’s workouts are so frequent and so proficient, she literally runs circles around Justin, especially when they’re trying to run together. And… chuckle…snarf…cough… Jessica even yells at Justin when he can’t keep up. Imagine me smothering a giggle. Poor emasculated Justin. Poor little JT. Chuckle.

Jessica Biel is running circles around Justin Timberlake, and he’s frustrated he can’t keep up with her!

“Jessica’s superior athleticism has Justin mortified,” an insider told the Enquirer.

“Whenever they’re in L.A. they have a morning routine of jogging together with her dog Tina in Runyon Canyon. But Jessica is almost always a few paces ahead.”

“As Justin huffs and puffs up the hill, Jessica will turn around, never breaking stride and holler, ‘Let’s go! Come on! Work it!’ Justin loves Jessica, but he’d rather she behave more like a girlfriend than a hard-driving personal trainer.”

Justin… is struggling to keep pace with [Jessica’s] six-times-a-week cross-training workouts. To keep her ultra lean, muscular 120-pound figure, Jessica jogs five times a week, alternates swimming and yoga two to three times a week, and has thrice-weekly weight-training sessions with her personal trainer.

The actress, who can bench-press 100 pounds, also boxes, snowboards, and plays soccer and beach volleyball.

“Justin always considered himself a bit of a jock, but he has nothing on Jessica. She also put Justin on her protein-intensive diet and doesn’t like him eating carbs after 5 p.m.

“The hunger pangs – and Jessica’s health kick – are putting Justin in a bad mood.”

[From National Enquirer, print edition, August 10 2009]

Dude… Jessica makes Justin adhere to her low-carb diet? But that boy is skinny as a rail. A stiff wind could knock him over. He needs to eat! Let him have a pizza, Jess! Also, Jessica can bench press a 100 pounds? It’s been a while since I did any weight training, but I seem to remember 50 pounds being tough. Then again, I have practically no upper-body strength. I carry all my strength in my legs. My calf muscles are bigger than Justin’s. But it’s okay – he’s our tiny dancer! What he lacks in strength and athleticism, he makes up for in hip thrusts and moonwalks. I bet he can do the “Cabbage Patch” like the wind.

All jokes aside, I do take minor issue with the whole idea that Jessica’s athleticism is somehow emasculating. Yes, it’s probably specifically emasculating to JT, but I know many men who adore women who take working out seriously. Jessica should be going out with one of those guys – like a professional athlete or a trainer. Or someone who doesn’t want to compete with her in a friendly little game of “Who has the bigger bicep?”

    She looks hot, he looks hot. I don’t get why she apparently feels the need to impose her workout ethics on him. Heck, Jessica, he was fit and handsome before he went out with you, so he was obviously doing something right.
    As a woman, I really don’t believe in changing the man I am with or imposing my beliefs or what works for me on him. That’ll just lead to some bad blood in the end. Jess should give Justin a break and let him exercise the way he wants. And yes Kaiser, I agree, let him have a pizza!

    I just don’t get them as a couple. Justin used to have an edge (manufactured but still an edge). When he is with her it is like watching a middle aged couple. There is no heat or chemisty whatsoever. They are one of the most boring couples I have ever seen. More like work out buddies. Heck he was hotter in the video with Madanna. Jessica always has that I’m so much better then everyone look on her face. But hey JMO..

    but does anyone really care about these two at all.

  3. Maritza says:

    She better be careful not to overdue it like Madonna has.

  4. ash says:

    was the third picture really necessary? awkward…

  5. Embee says:

    Wow, she has a lovely figure! I seriously doubt Justin has a problem with Jess’ athleticism–she was athletic when he met her! Friendly competition is likely a part of their relationship dynamic. As a committed amateur athlete (with the thighs and biceps to prove it!) I really appreciate that Jessica has brought sexy-athletic to the spotlight.

  6. :) says:

    LOL at this story, there are more pictures from that day and other days of them running and Justin is beating Jessica.

  7. Ned says:

    Her back and shoulders are very masculine, so if he noticed that, at such late point, then he should look at the woman next to him a little more, and spend less time in front of a mirror.

  8. Obvious says:

    @ 🙂 That’s only because Dame Jessica let him. For his pride you see.

  9. Lee says:

    I think she’s a very pretty girl, him…meh, not so much.

    Maybe they seem boring because they don’t seem to have a lot of drama. Most people in a happy, healthy relationship do hit that comfort zone.

  10. Ron says:

    I’m surprised he doesn’t have a problem with her career crippling beauty.

  11. queenie says:

    hmmm SHE weighs 120 lbs and can bench 100 lbs…I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT.

  12. bebe says:

    Bullshit. there are tons of pics of them jogging and he’s always ahead of her.
    And LOL at all the men who are sheep and always talk about her “beauty”. She’s a dog.

  13. the original kate says:

    she always looks bitchy and he always looks confused.

  14. astuartgirl says:

    I agree. I have never seen the fascination with her or the “horse tooth” one in Million Dollar Baby (don’t recall the name) either.

    Oops, sorry, my claws are showing. Meow!

  15. Zoe says:

    “the horse toothed one in Million Dollar Baby” is Hillary Swank. As in two-time Oscar winner Hillary Swank. And she’s only about 34 years old.
    Big big difference between her and this overrated biels, whose enormous beauty is just blowing her career lol!

  16. Ally says:

    Well, I think she has to work out very hard to stay more petite than him. She used to be much curvier.

    On the other hand, she’s the one with the spare time to work out. He actually has a career.

  17. TinaWithPom says:

    lee – i disagree. I think justin is just as pretty, if not more pretty, a girl as jessica.

    *snicker*

  18. lurker says:

    Maybe she should think about changing careers and become a personal trainer. She would certainly be better at it then she is at her current career.
