Fitspiration: Lea Michele

I knew the first moment I watched an episode of Glee that Lea Michele would become one of my role models. She's talented, gorgeous, fit and not your conventional Hollywood starlet. I could always relate to her because she was told she's not pretty enough to make it and not everyone always believed in her, but she pushed forward anyway. Now she's the star of a hit TV show, has multiple Emmy nominations and limitless potential whether she continues with the Hollywood route or focuses on Broadway.

Lea Michele is more than just a personal role model for me though; she's also a fitness role model. Lea promotes a healthy lifestyle through a vegan diet and a varied exercise routine. A balanced exercise routine is essential to reaching optimum fitness and Lea exemplifies that by integrating yoga, strength training and intervals into her workouts (3 of my favorites!). 

One of Lea's favorite workouts that I haven't tried is the iPhone Nike Fitness app. Sadly, I won't have my iPhone until next month (I'm not waiting until the iPhone 5), but when I get it, I'm all over this app. Lea's specially designed workout is only 15 minutes long and it targets the entire body. It's perfect for anyone on the go. The app itself can be easily customized to fit your fitness level - from beginner to advanced. I can't wait to officially review it when I get my iPhone!
