Britney’s abs make a comeback

by workoutmommy on December 3, 2008

Britney Spears celebrated her 27th birthday by performing one of her new hits on Good Morning America. Click here to see the performance, lip syncing and all.

She appears to have gotten her body back, despite telling Glamour Magazine that working out is not fun for her. She says it took “a lot of hard work” and that she now has a new appreciation for her body.

At the same time she says she only goes to the gym 2-3 days per week and that anymore would be “horrible”.

I think she looks fantastic but find it suspicious that she admits to rarely exercising and makes no mention of healthy eating.
Any thoughts?

Dunno if you saw her 2nd song on GMA but her outfit covered her belly and showed off her bum instead – and her bum was not looking so great. If that had been her only outfit I wouldn’t have thought she had her body back at all. Very surprising after her toned abs.

W.O. Mommy said… “Any thoughts?”

Yes, but none that I’d repeat in front of ladies. What a load of … laundry. She’s living up to her initials.

Hmmm… for superb abs you have to eat clean, or work out all day (Phelps).
Any sprayed on abs?

I’m thinking it’s all of the dancing — and less partying. We know she’s got good genes somewhere!

My vote? Drugs. Probably prescription. Adderall? Ritalin? I betting she’s got something.

But yeah, I do like FBG’s optimistic take on it as well:)

Kym, I didn’t see the second performance, I’ll have to go and check it out.

Alice: LOL, spray on abs!

FBG: all that dancing definitely does the job, just look at all the contestants on Dancing with the stars.

Charlotte: i forgot about the past rumors with her and drugs. I think one of the tabloids is also coming out with a story about her being bulimic.

Hmm, does she say how many hours she spends on those 2-3 days a week at the gym? I work out more than 2-3 days and I definitely don’t have great abs. Of course I know I don’t always eat like I should, either.

Anywho, I suspect she’s fibbin’ a bit.

I heard a rumor about her taking several laxatives everyday. Could be just that though, a rumor.

She smokes! Do we need a list of what that does to your appetite, etc.?

I think everyone’s made good points about the different ways it could be possible… but there’s also the fact that you don’t have to go to a gym to work out. And it seems to me that a lot of celebrities try to make as though they don’t exercise a lot (“I walk my dog every day and lift 3 lbs weights twice a week!”). So she might be doing more than she says?

I’d like her plastic surgeons phone number, please.

A little lipo here…a little nip and tuck there…

OK…I just followed the link to watch her performance video. Despite YEARS of watching Dancing with the Stars I am by no means an expert on the subject of dancing. That said, I am willing to go out on a limb and say what Britney did on stage for GMA was NOT dancing. It was a lot of standing and a bit of walking. Hardly a workout, definitely not a performance.

I hate to sound critical because I DO like her music and I DO hope that she truly is getting healthy (mentally and physically).

Spray on abs and lipo. It does not look “hard.” When she moves, you can see that the abs are still a bit on the soft side. Give her another two years and we’ll see if her body will be able to “bounce back” from her lifestyle of Venti frappicianos and fast food. I have a feeling she is going to be one of those women who’s beauty fade really quickly because she does not take care of herself.

Alyssa December 4, 2008 at 1:09 pm

I did see an interview with her a few weeks ago and she talked about her diet; swapping frappucinos for skinny lattes, getting rid of junk food, etc. They also showed her working out at home with her trainer. She’s also 27, with good genes, so it may be through hard work, more than drugs or surgery (but I’m not laying any bets down, lol!).
And, yeah, A LOT of celebs underplay their diet and workouts.

you know what? i’m not sure she looks that much better than in her last appearance, when everyone said she looked fat. i think it all depends on how it’s spinned by the media, and now that her new album is out, they’ve been paid to say that she’s back – she’s not fat by any means, i don’t think she looks that healthy though…

There’s something definitely fishy about her “workout” story. She does look great though. But like the other commenters, it wouldn’t surprise me if she had lipo.

How does Britney Spears manage to stay in the news?

She almost ended her career with her antics over the last year.

I hope other young girls do not imitate her nor her unhealthy lifestyle. Wear a shirt if you need good looking abs.

Interesting how having kids makes you appreciate what you use to have so easily. I had no idea she was 27. I honestly don’t know Brittney and don’t know what her life is really like, other then the media spin. I really don’t follow the “Stars” very well, because I simply don’t want to be like them. Nothing of an ego, just that I’m finding I’m happier with my own life just being the best me I can be.

I’m excited to get my abs back, and know it will take a lot of discipline.

She seems to have got herself back together. Saw a documentary on her last night on MTV.

alyssa: very good point about the being young and good genes. With all the bad press she gets, I wonder why she doesn’t mention the trainer?

I’m sorry, but I love Britney… Sorry! :) I’ve really been pulling for her all along. I’m so glad that she’s made a comeback. It was horrible to see her collapse in front of the whole world. I’d probably have a mental breakdown, too, if the paps followed me around 24/7. The poor girl never gets a moment of peace! It’s nice to see that she’s getting it together and looking like out Brit-Brit again. :)
