So much for Tyra Banks‘ “Kiss my fat ass” attitude!
It seems Tyra couldn’t really live with the fact that she was overweight, so she did everything possible to lose that extra weight as soon as possible. Now, just try to remember her emotional speech a few months ago, when she was being all for body acceptance, and look at her now, after just five months! And she’s expecting people to believe what she says!?

In these pictures taken on May 12 in Bahamas, Tyra is trying to recreate her pose from the cover of the 1997 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue:

Here’s an interview with Martin Snow, Tyra Banks‘ personal trainer.
US: What kind of moves do you do with Tyra?
Martin Snow: I have a boxing gym so I basically do the moves with her that a fighter would do. She tends to get bored just doing conventional stuff. She has an athletic body, so I just try to bring it out. She responds very well to exercise. I do old-man Charles Atlas workouts. Stuff that old-time fighters used to do to get in shape.US: What kind of client is Tyra? Is she really motivated?
MS: She is fantastic. She is very driven and works hard and is super nice. If someone is really enthusiastic, that charges up the trainer. I have to motivate someone, but then I get motivated again.
US: When she came to you six weeks ago, did she have a specific area that she wanted to workout?
MS: We don’t target-train people. If you train like an athlete, a byproduct of that will be looking good. She will do what it takes to get in shape.
US: What is a typical routine?
MS: I bring her over to the park. We will do some warm-ups, some running drills, a parachute run, where I put a parachute around her and she runs with it. We will do some medicine work where she will take heavy medicine balls and run and chase after them, and throw them at at different angles. We challenged these guys to handball but they punked out. A game like handball is great. And then we do kettle bells. I bring them out to the park. They are fantastic tools. For women, they are awesome. They target the core and you can do it every day. She is getting a pair for home and for work.
US:How often does she workout?
MS: She comes in around three times a week now. And each time it’s different. We will take these old tractor tires and she will swing sledgehammers. We do bags filled with sand. And of course the boxing.
US:How long do the sessions last?
MS: Around and hour to an hour and half. She is not afraid to get dirty. She is not afraid to go to the park and have people look at her like she’s crazy. She is not worried about image.
US: Does she do crunches?
MS: No, I really stay away from doing anything you would find in a health club routine. We’re very low frills. If you can plug it in, we probably don’t use it. And if it was invented after 1950, we don’t use it. It’s very effective. You don’t need expensive equipment or high tech stuff. Just hard work. [Source]
