DYME BODY 101: BODY INSPIRATION

Lately I've been eating crap on crap on crap.  I actually have some leftover pizza and sprite I have to tend to today, because I don't waste food.  So to inspire me to get my eating habits back on track I save pictures of ladies on my laptop whose bodies inspire me to hit the gym and eat right.  And today I shall share with you all!  These women usually have body types somewhat like mine.  This gives me a realistic view of my goals.  So here goes...

1. Ciara, singer @Ciara

 Ciara went from being a little on the soft side in 2006 to hard body in 2009.  I can tell she's been passing on the bread.  How else would her abs appear so well sculpted.

 Ciara is one of my top workout inspirations, because she is always hitting the gym.  I'm surprised she hasn't come out with a workout dvd yet.  Check out the muscled thighs (above) sure evidence of many squats and lunges.

 This pic (above) is from a Rocawear event when Ciara was modeling for them.  Taken a few years ago this is definitely during her body transformation.  She slimmed up for rocawear, but still has some babyphat.  Pun so intended.

 

Here (above pic) Ciara has now slimmed up even more from the Rocawear days and still managed to keep a nice bum!  Go girl!

2. Draya Michele, video vixen/model/swimwear designer/reality tv star, @Drayaface

 This chick is not only fit, she has gifts.  Apparently the stripping she used to do in Philly was a good workout.  Draya has managed to keep a flat belly even after having a son.

 She admitted via Ustream that she doesn't workout religiously.  So genes have blessed her with the curves in all the right places.

 Draya is workout inspiration for me because like Ciara she is repping for us long leggers.  I get tired of seeing super thick chicks in the videos.  She reps for the athletic boyish body type yet still curvy chicks.

And she happens to have a nice bum as well.

3. Jessica Biel, actress

 Jessica Biel takes the award for Arms I'd like to have.  They're sculpted just right.  Not too much bulk.  I'd like to get my arms here then stop building.

 I'm not too hung up on having a huge butt.  As long as there is some curve and it's visible in a dress...

 Not sure why Jessica's butt looks ghetto big in this dress.

And of course the abs are always on deck with J Biel.  She is a known health/fitness fanatic so I'm sure these won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

4. Keyshia Cole, singer @KeyshiaCole

Keyshia like myself is on the busty side.  There's not too many busty chicks repping in the entertainment industry so the fact that she's out there and fit...I give Kudos.

5. Rosa Acosta, model/video vixen @RosaAcosta

 She just gets fitter and fitter.  Rosa has definitely become a health nut and fitness pro.  She blogs on rosaacosta.com about her workout goals.

Rosa takes the award for my dream butt for sure.

6. Tanyka Renee, model, Lingerie Football Player, blogger, fitness expert @JockinTanyka

 Ok I'm just now getting hip to Tanyka.  The first thing I noticed about her was her abs and long legs.  The abs are legit, and the legs are to die for.  She has the perfect butt and is just all around inspiration.  She plays for the lingerie football league so the girl is constantly working out hard.

 

7. Teyana Taylor, singer/rapper, actress, blogger, model @Teyanataylor

 Being a tomboy pays off...I'll take Teyana's abs, butt, boobs, and legs please!  I got hip to Teyana's fit ways a long time ago.  Still a fan, still inspired.

I suggest making a little inspiration collage as well...anything to get you moving!  Who is your fitness icon?
