Celebody | Gabrielle Union

I was watching a bit of the BET Honors last night and the lovely Gabrielle Union was the host. I thought to myself-- "this woman looks absolutely amazing." Then a light bulb went off, Gabrielle should be the next Celebody of the Month! 

Gabrielle Monique Union, actress and former model best known for her roles in Bring It On and Bad Boys II, is 37 and as you can see looks absolutely FAB! Gabrielle is not a fan of diets and like most celebs she just eats healthy, controls her portions and exercises regularly. In an Essence Magazine issue a couple of years ago (I couldn't find anything more recent :/), Gabrielle talks to Essence about her work-out regimen and her mind, body & spirit makeover with her trainer AJ Johnson-- a wellness coach, celebrity trainer and an actress (look out for a post on this amazing woman soon). 

GABRIELLE ON HER RIGOROUS WORK-OUT REGIMEN THAT'S PART CARDIO/PART TALK THERAPY/PART BIBLE STUDY:

It's about getting on the path to being the person you want to be. It helps you work out your issues and find your answers, which are usually pretty logical. Half the battle is just talking it out. There's no point having amazing shoulders or ripped abs if you don't feel like getting out of bed everyday. I'm loving the new cuts that are coming in--up my thighs, my arms. I love my abs. I definitely have more confidence, energy and stamina."

Check out a video of Gabby behind the scenes on her Essence photo shoot after the  jump! Btw...she's my new body idol!
