WOW! Jessica Simpson Speaks On How She Got Her Curves Back Post Baby

Have you noticed how fit Jessica Simpson looks these days?  Months after giving birth to son Ace, she’s rocking a trim body and singing the praises of Weight Watchers (which signed her on as a spokesperson after she had daughter Maxwell in 2012), as well as the 45-minute resistance training workouts she reportedly does three times a week with her trainer.
But there’s another strategy she credits with getting her in shape and helping her stay there: daily walks. After Ace was born, she said she aimed to get 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day. “I wasn’t trying to lose weight,” she said in a recent interview with USA Today. Rather, she began walking to release anxiety and be a “happier person to be around.” Now, she says, “I try and walk about four miles a day consistently. It makes me feel better.“

 Jessica’s walking habit scores a big thumbs up from experts. “Walking is great exercise,” says Boston-area sports nutritionist Nancy Clark, author of Nancy Clark’s Sports Nutrition Guidebook. “You can do it in small increments and build it into your lifestyle.” Hoofing it at a medium pace for a mile burns about 100 calories (for a 120-150 pound woman), says Clark, and keeping track of your steps, as Jessica did, can clue you in to how much you’re doing and the calorie burn you’re racking up.
