Singer Beyoncé is known for being “bootylicious,” and many females seem to want to emulate her body style. Now women can get an idea of how to do that, thanks to her personal trainer who recently offered fitness tips on staying healthy during the holidays, something many people might need right about now.

According to a report from Popeater, Beyoncé’s fitness trainer is Marco Borges. Borges works with several other famous females in Hollywood, including Shakira and Gwen Stefani.  He has written the book “Power Moves: The Four Motions to Transform your Body for Life,” currently selling on Amazon.  He recently offered five great tips for holiday diet and exercise success.

One of Marco’s tips is to plan ahead by snacking on healthy proteins and fats prior to parties. That will help curb one’s appetite to prevent overeating at the party. He also suggests getting to the gym early before the rest of the day’s activities, to encourage healthier behavior the rest of the day.

Borges also suggests to practice “living healthy” rather than dieting. Marco believes when people are focused on a diet they tend to feel deprived, whereas an attitude of healthy living helps people continue with their routine with more power.

His final two tips are to “know your number” and “get outside”.  Marco recommends that people weigh themselves daily, so they won’t be surprised by a major weight gain. If people see they’ve gained a pound or two, they can correct their nutrition and exercise routine appropriately. That includes getting outside to exercise, whether it be walking, jogging or any other calorie-burning activity.  

Many of us fall victim to the holiday parties, Christmas cookies, fruit cakes and general overindulgence in goodies during this time of year. Thankfully, if people follow some of Marco’s ideas they’ll be good to go, and can win the battle of the bulge, or at least get a head start heading into 2011. If this guy is able to get Beyoncé, Shakira and Gwen Stefani looking so great, he must know what he’s doing!
