Default which celeb inspires u to lift weights?

Hi--

Which celeb inspires you to keep lifting weights? For me, it's Jackie Warner, Jillian Michaels, Linda Hamilton (Terminator 2 film role), and Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby film role).

I'd say Hilary Swank was the first to come to mind. Cuz I know I can't get a back like hers without putting some weights in my workout... but I'm also totally with you on Michelle Obama.

The way I feel inspires me to lift. Celebs don't do much for me. Just me, I guess.

I love the way I feel when I lift weights . . . but the vision of Jillian Michaels' arms makes me see what is possible

I would have to say Jillian. I also like M Obama's arms.

Yes, also love the way resistance exercise makes me feel. This morning I did "dips" off the park bench and I do about 50 pushups everyday. I guess it isn't exactly the same as weight training but for me, it works.

I am TOTALLY inspired by Gwyneth Paltrow and her workouts with 3 lb DBs.
And her trainer Tracy Anderson. That's the way to train. (NOT)
LOL

Linda Hamilton here too. I used to have definition like that when I was a dancer 15 years ago, I doubt I'll be able to get it back but I can aspire to it.
