ESPN's Erin Andrews on Exercise

Here is another celebrity health and fitness post. :) I love healthy celebrities that work hard to exercise and take care of their bodies. Today its ESPN Sideline Reporter Erin Andrews, who is amazing in my opinion (and in the dreams of many men). The quotes come from an article from That's Fit (AOL Health).

Problems Erin had with staying healthy and fit on the job:

"Traveling for my job makes staying in shape really hard. We're on the road so much, and for me ... it's tough cause I'm one of the only girls on site. I'm really close with the other talent and the broadcasters, so we go out to eat all the time. Today we had hamburgers! Eating on the road is the worst way to eat. Not only that, but I'm surrounded by guys! When you're surrounded by men, you eat and drink like a guy."

Erin continues, "Two years ago, when I did Thursday night football with Kirk Herbstreit, I gained ten pounds with him! At dinner we'd get four or five appetizers, a big meal and drinks. For breakfast, we'd have pancakes for appetizers. My pants stopped fitting last year... my new big butt was showing up on the internet courtesy of all the camera phones! I was like, 'Ahhh! What happened to my butt!!!'"

Erin Andrews's fitness solution:

"I've been working really hard this past year. I got a trainer and he's taught me how to exercise on the road, which really matters for me. I now have a routine I can do with my iPod."

She admits that she does mostly weight training and says, "I find that works best for me. I also run stadiums and use the university gyms on occasion when we're given permission."

Why Erin Andrews considers exercise important:

"I just love to eat. So, I want to be able to eat when I want to eat. Exercising allows me to do that."

Erin Andrews's favorite healthy food:

"I just got into seared tuna. I'm obsessed with it now. ... I'm trying to cut out soda too. When I do, I drop weight quickly. Now, I'm a water girl."

Erin Andrews's favorite not-so-healthy food:

"I love lasagna. Read meat and potatoes too."

Erin Andrews's advice to those trying to get healthy and fit:

"Grab a set of weights. Do squats and arms at the same time! You'd be amazed at what you can accomplish in just 20 or 30 minutes."
