Maureen McCormick: Workout

Continued from Maureen McCormick: Diet Plan.
Did you stick to your exercise routine after Celebrity Fit Club? I stopped altogether, which was my biggest mistake. I need to start jogging again, though – that was a huge thing, doing the cardio.
I called my personal trainer, Brian Shiers, a few months ago. Now I see him twice a week for hour-long sessions. We don’t really use any machines. Everything is done naturally, which I love! At the end of the workout, I feel amazing.
What else are you doing for exercise? I’ve been jazz dancing two days a week. I might be going to Broadway to do Chicago next year. I went in and interviewed for Mama Morton, the big woman’s role. And they said, “No, we think you’re more Roxie Hart,” so I came back in and passed the singing and acting.
And they said, “You need some work on your dance,” so that’s what I’ve been doing. The class is two hours a week, kind of Bob Fosse-esque jazz – all of Chicago was choreographed by Fosse – so it’s been challenging.
Maureen McCormick’s Workout: Here is how she does it.
Warm up on the treadmill for 20 minutes to get her heart rate up.
Sit-ups and exercises to tighten the tummy.
Push-ups to strengthen her entire torso, including her shoulders, chest and back.
Fun kickboxing moves with Brian. “I feel like I’m kicking off the fat,� she says.
Yoga and Pilates moves that focus on balance.
