The Fit List
“My boss goes to my gym. Do I say hi or look the other way when I see her half-dressed in the locker room?”A The locker room isn’t the place for drawn-out conversations or loitering in your skivvies. “Make eye contact, say ‘Hello’ and ‘Nice to see you’ and continue getting dressed,” recommends Maryanne Blake, a trainer and instructor at the Sports Club/LA in Boston. Also have a friendly exit strategy in place. For example, “I’d love to catch up with you. Maybe we could talk after Spinning?” You’ll keep awkward moments to a minimum without seeming rude. —Karla Walsh
Kick-start your summer with our trio of fit to-dos.
Vamped Up We can’t get enough of sassy Pam, who’s back this month on HBO’s True Blood. Find out how Kristin Bauer squeezes into those sexy outfits.
Fave workout “I do Cardio Barre two to four times a week; I love the ballet component. I
also hike with my rescue dogs, Ozmand and Asher, once a week, but that doesn’t count
as a workout, just fun.”On my iPod “Tons of Ozzy Osbourne, especially ‘See You on the Other Side’ and ‘Dreamer.’ ”My diet “Some actresses say, ‘I just have a fast metabolism.’ They lie! We all watch what we eat. I’m vegetarian, I avoid simple carbs, and I carry ThinkThin High Protein Bars; they’re lifesavers during 17-hour shoots.”Craziest costume “This black-and-red
rubber dress, plus those amazing leather corsets. They’re phenomenally
uncomfortable but incredibly flattering.”What I love about Pam “She doesn’t edit herself. Me, I’ll think of a sarcastic come-back but keep it to myself.”True confession “I’ve done push-ups and crunches in my dressing room before a scene. With five million people watching, can you blame me?”
