Gwen Stefani🎤 Abs & her Gun🔫 Show Arms💪🏽

This No Doubt singer rocked out her voice🎵 & her bod🏄 (i.e., classic crop tops in the mid-90s to expose midriffs) 2 decades ago with her breakthrough 📀single, I’m Just a Girl🚺* ~ which is featured on

Gwen Stefani the *HOTTIE*

Regardless of reports on her separation from Gavin Rosdale of Bush, this 🎼rockstar’s still got it ~ from raising 2 boys, still singing🎶 amazing solo or otherwise & looking dayum good + influencing fashion👛 (i.e., her iconic 👑bindi) including super shoes👢 like stilettos👠

How does she stay so 👙svelte? Where does she seek her sweet escape for a hot physique?

📺Take a look👓 for yourself: she does mad push-ups! 🚻*

Push-ups are the ultimate toning move because they work your upper bod & core stability for strength & balance!

Workout Wednesday: Aaliyah Abs

♪♫More Than a Woman♪♫

In spirit of my favorite 1990s-early 2000s R&B artist, Aaliyah, who was finally portrayed in a film that debuted on air this past weekend (no comment on my thoughts of the biopic), let’s pay tribute to the best abs in the industry!

This street but sweet superstar had fab, flat abs ~ so how did she rock them out in her midriffs?

As an Aaliyah ab-mirer and also an ab-rocker, here’s what worked for her and me …

* Dance it off ~ All those twists and turns work that core + other cardio to melt off fat and flab!

* Planks {especially rotating on alternate sides to engage the obliques} stabilize for balance!

Sideswept bangs and shades also were Aaliyah’s trademark that inspired me!
