Maria Menounos showed off her bikini body while in Bora Bora for a photoshoot. The reality star posed for pictures wearing a white and red striped two-piece. Her toned tummy and lean legs looked perfect as she splashed around in the water and got up close and personal with a nearby tree. According to Mail Online , the 36-year-old recently sat down with Health Magazine to talk about her body and, believe it or not, she is pretty hard on herself.
Maria said:
“If I were to take my jeans off right now, you would see pre-cellulite. It doesn’t look that good, but I’m OK with that. We’re all human. If I want to get rid of it, I know what I have to do.”
Maria Menounos is lucky to have such a great bikini body at her age. Obviously she knows that her face and her body are her money makers right now — and this is one of the reasons that she has been hesitant to have a baby. On her reality show, Chasing Maria Menounos , she and her longtime boyfriend Keven Undergaro discussed having a baby together. Often, Maria’s image and her TV-ready body is really a priority in her life right now — and has been for a while.
Maria works fairly hard to keep herself in tip-top shape. She even wrote a book about it . While promoting “The Everygirl’s Guide to Diet and Fitness,” Maria sat down with TooFab to talk about her diet and exercise routine. Interestingly enough, she doesn’t have a daily routine — but she keeps herself active in her own way every day.
“I don’t have an official routine. Though I wish I did, I don’t go to the gym often. Generally speaking, I find creative ways to squeeze in exercises during my daily living routine and I stay as active as I possibly can. I walk instead of drive. I opt for stairs instead of escalators. I also have an inexpensive pedometer that measures my daily steps. I strive to do 10,000 a day and whether I accomplish that or not, it’s a reminder to try.”
Maria Menounos’ bikini body wasn’t always perfect. As previously reported by The Inquisitr , Maria lost 40 pounds to get fit after her college years did a number on her figure. She was able to change her life — and she should be proud of her current body… even if she thinks she has cellulite (anyone have a magnifying glass?!).
