What Did We Learn This Month?
Shape: January 2012
Shape Cover Star for January:
The lovely and talented Molly Simms whom you will soon see on TV”s Project Accessory and offers her 10 tips for “feeling fit.” Molly is photographed in a Naven top and Amahlia Stevens bikini by Nino Muñoz.
Some of Molly tips include:
- Make Healthy Swaps (Spaghetti squash instead of pasta, for example)
- Sweat it Out (Even if you only have 15 minutes to work out—do it.)
- Bribe Yourself (Treat yourself to something fun for being good to yourself.)
Molly also demonstrates her favorite “lower-body burners” which you can see here!
