Get a Supermodel Body - Adriana Limas Diet and Exercise Regime!


Adriana Lima was discovered at the age of 13 by a model scout at her local mall. Since then she has become one of the worlds top supermodel and is one of the famous Victorias Secret Angels! How did she get such an amazing figure? Well it does come down to genetics too a degree but the gorgeous Brazilian supermodel does put in some work too. Her favorite form of exercise is something called Capoeira (dance, music acrobatics and choreographed play-fighting..it's a Brazilian martial art).

Like most celebrities and models who are asked about their diet and exercise regime so often she doesn't give much away. She does however say that the secret to her clear skin is to drink lots of water and get lots of rest. I'm trying to find her exact workout regime and diet. I wish I knew exactly what a supermodel ate in a day...I want a supermodel body. So many times celebrities claim they are following a generic diet of lean protein and vegetables when really they are doing some form of extreme diet.

In an industry where you are paid for looking good, the following quote from Adriana Lima just doesn't seem right. "I try to control what I eat, but the truth is I can't. I tried to give up meat last week, but I only lasted three days. I just couldn't do it. I love meat, chocolate, and cakes. For the moment I like my body. I don't think it's the best one, but I don't have anything I don't like about it-yet...I've never been to the gym, I do nothing."

That hardly seems fair! I've seen the way that the modeling agencies and fashion designers criticize models for their weight and I imagine there is a great deal of pressure for super models to be thin. Perhaps Adriana Lima doesn't eat as much as she says she does and her secret to staying so thin is portion control (only eating when you are hungry and stopping when you are full).

I have seen pictures of her smoking a cigarette, this could be to suppress her appetite. I do know girls who take up smoking to lose weight. It's ridiculous and will all come back to bite them in the future.


Car Modifying is Here to Stay


Car customising and modifying has been around since the car was first invented, but really took off with the introduction of the original Mini.

This was a car people really took to their heart, seeing a raft of extras and aftermarket parts springing up on the market to suit every style of customization.

From rally style lights to full wide arch body kits, even the Cooper family who prepared engines for F1 saw the potential of this little car, rebuilding it and giving rise to the Mini Copper, a car that is still an icon to this day.

Car modifying and customizing has came a long way since then, from uprated suspension, engine parts, body kits and light sets for almost any car you could imagine, giving birth to a trade worth billions in the UK alone.

You would be mistaken to think this was a young mans game, all car enthusiast have taken to car modifying with equal vigour.

Classic cars have just as many modified parts available to them as the little Vauxhall Corsa or the old Citroen Saxo's we are so used to seeing being driving by the teenagers today, covered in aftermarket parts, sporting in car entertainment systems that quite often cost more than the car they are installed in.

This in its self has created a car culture of its own, the cruise scene. People from all walks of life turn up in car parks all across the country to show off their modified pride and joy.

Mazda RX-7, Preludes, Skylines that have had ten thousand pounds worth of extras, from full body kits, uprated suspension, bugger turbos, uprated engine internals, full interior re-trims, some of the latest technology crammed in them, sat nav, ear splitting sound systems, games consoles, in fact more things that you would ever expect to see in a car.

There are the modifiers that only go for pure speed, who would rather strip bare the interior of their car to save weight rather than fill it with all sorts of ICE.

Cars like the little Honda Civic and Nissan Pulsar that modifiers have managed to squeeze over 300 brake horse power from the engine, putting quite alot of super cars to shame, and costing a fraction of the cost.

Even manufacturers have gotten in on the act, Volkswagen showing the world their modified Golf, with a mid mounted W12 650 brake horse power engine wedged in where the back seats should be, borrowed from a Bentley.

Renault with the equally insane V6 Clio, this too doing away with the rear seats in favour of a V6 power plant, giving this little car power that would only be seen in the likes of a Porsche 911.

Car modifying and customisation has created a class of its own, giving rise to a whole host of magazines like Max Power, Redline, Banzai, Fast Ford to name a few, as well as films such as Fast and Furious.

Race tracks have also seen the rise of this car culture and have opened their doors to allow car enthusiasts to test their machines on a wide open racetrack, giving them the freedom to test the cars and their own reactions, in the safe setting of a real race track.

Sports Cars



Stylish, sexy, sleek, streamlined, spirited and speed demon are all words used to describe sports cars, which are essentially two-door automobiles that are designed for high speeds, great power and smashing good looks. The manufacture of the modern-day sports car began only after 1945, when the economy started booming, technology developed dramatically and better roads were being built. They came in various shapes like convertibles, roadsters, coupes, grand tourers and sedans. Sports-car lovers are either devoted to timeless classics that have been souped up for current times, or are trendsetters looking for the latest kind of exotic car.

From powerful purring beauties like the Mercedes Benz SLK 350 to thundering thrillers like the Ford Mustang V-8, you can choose a sports car that matches your personality. In fact, sports cars are as much about personality as they are about performance - smooth aerodynamic bodies of carbon fiber, chrome pipes and fittings, rich leather upholstery, wide wheels, shiny wooden panels and snazzy paint jobs.

Different brands of sports cars adopt different principles of design. Some cars may be light in order to achieve greater acceleration, others may boast of extremely powerful engines for better car handling and performance, while still others may stress safety and comfort rather than style. The majority of contemporary sports cars have front-wheel drives as opposed to rear-wheel drives, which were more common in the earlier generation of sports cars. Many cars also have the engine in the center, driving the rear wheels, which is unique to sports cars. In these cars, the engine is placed behind the driver, at the middle of the chassis. Porsche is the only sports car that has the engine mounted at the rear, driving the rear wheels. This aspect is a crucial part of car design, as it affects the maneuverability or handling of the car, which is critical at high speeds.

The most well known brands today are Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Triumph. Companies which manufacture other cars also make some sports models; prominent among these are Ford, Toyota, Honda, Chevrolet, Mitsubishi, Mazda, and Nissan. Today, the design and manufacture of sports cars is becoming more specialized and competitive, with newer, more attractive designs and a higher degree of technical sophistication being utilized.

Sexy Body - How do Men Really Feel?

Sexy body here, a sexy body there - everywhere you look - someone is telling you to get a sexy body and promising great rewards. Ladies, don't waist your time striving for that sexy body - there's good news and some basic things you need to learn about men.

First, men will always respond positively to a woman with a sexy body - it's really not even a choice we have. When we see a woman with a sexy body - it's hard not to notice. But MANY other things are more important to us. Don't let yourself be deceived by the billion dollar "sexy body" industry. There are other characteristics men would rather find in a woman or wife than a "sexy body". Take a look at these five:

1) Stay fit and healthy. Men like women who exercise and stay fit - it shows you care about yourself, builds your self esteem and gives you confidence. All of which make you look better in his eyes. Just forget about the quest for that sexy body.

2) A woman with a strong desire to please her man in bed will look more sexy - in his eyes - than a babe with a super sexy body. Try it, lose your inhibitions and make your bedroom a place where his fantasies come true.

3) Lose the "I'm tired" stuff - everyone is tired - him too. When you're chronically negative - for whatever reason - you will look less desirable in his eyes. Have you ever known an older woman (age 50 or so) who always seemed to act like she was in her 30's? Men like that - work on acting younger he'll begin to see you like you really do have a sexy body.

4) Men would rather be in a relationship with a woman who shows him true respect and admiration than with a blond babe sporting a super sexy body. It's true, you'll be looking like you've got a sexy body - in his eyes - when you show him true respect.

5) Often, women with a sexy body are quite devoted to themselves. After all, it takes a lot of work to maintain that look. Don't be deceived, men grow tired of women who are only interested in themselves and how they look. Don't misunderstand, it's important that you take pride in your appearance, but don't let it consume you - it will grow old in your man's eyes.
