'Glee' star Lea Michele sits down for
a short interview with Shape magazine and shares some of her
secrets on staying fit and reveals her tips on being a vegan. The
25-year-old actress admits she goes 'back and forth' between being
a vegan and a vegetarian and that it is important to listen to your
body.
"Well, I go back and forth between [being a vegan and not being a
vegan]. I try lots of different things. I really feel that you need
to kind of listen to your body and what your body is telling you to
eat. So I was a vegan for about two years," she says.
Lea also gives some tips and tricks for readers who may want to
become vegan.
"Well, everything with being vegan and vegetarian is a really big
commitment. You have to do what you feel is best and what you
believe in and what your body is telling you that it needs. I
really think everyone should do what’s best for them, and what’s
best for me may not be best for someone else. But like I said, you
just have to do what makes you feel good," the actress told the
magazine.
The young star, who lost about 10 pounds in 2009 due to the dance
rehearsals for 'Glee', says that she is not that strict with her
fitness routine.
"Working out for me is something I do when I feel like it. But it’s
really about feeling good and taking care of my body rather than
having to fit into any sort of model or anything like that. I try
to eat well, and everything I do is really just to make me feel my
best so that I can come to my job or my personal life and just feel
really good."
When it comes to favorite workouts, Lea says that, "Oh gosh, no,
I’m simple. I love hiking, going to the gym, doing some simple
stuff. I love being outdoors, I love bike riding. Just stuff that’s
fun!"
Recently, the actress and singer promoted a new project by Valspar
Paint called 'Hands for Habitat,' where the handprints of various
celebrities were being auctioned off to benefit Habitat for
Humanity.
"It’s such an amazing cause! We have all these handprints, which
you can find on the Valspar Facebook page. You can bid on them and
all the donations and proceeds go to the Habitat for Humanity
Disaster Response Program. It’s really such a great thing that so
many people have donated their handprints and have gotten super
creative, although mine are definitely the best and should be bid
on the most (laughs)," Michele told Shape.
