How Pro Surfer Carissa Moore Stays on Top

Michele Foley — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 03:02:42 PDT

While in LA for the world premiere of Nike's all-women surf film Leave a Message, I chatted it up with pro surfer Carissa Moore, one of the film's stars. With such a laid-back disposition and easy laugh, it's easy to forget that Carissa, 19, is a no-joke serious athlete and currently ranked the number one in the world of women's surfing.

Besides Carissa's obvious natural talent, I was curious at what takes someone from being great at surfing to being number one. Carissa's answer was similar to what you might expect from any great athlete: dedication, confidence, and hard work. Oh, and training - lots of training. For Carissa that means having a surf coach (her father) and a passion for fitness, "As I've gotten older, my body has changed tremendously. I have gained weight, lost weight. It wasn't enough to just surf," Carissa says. "I have a trainer now. I have a diet."

Depending on her competition schedule, Carissa works out with Hawaii-based trainer Lisa Stewart two to five times per week. When I spoke with Lisa, she told me that they focus on "cardiovascular training, corrective functional movements, core stabilization, and flexibility training." She went on to say that before Carissa started training, "her body was strong, but undefined and had many imbalances. With a lot of hard work and training, Carissa is on her way to becoming a specific athlete who is adaptable to any surfing condition."

While most of us aren't trying to get in shape for the pro surf circuit, we can still learn a lot from Carissa's training sessions with Lisa. Get the lowdown from Lisa on how to achieve a surfer girl beach body after the break!

The Look For Less: Lisa Stewart Turquoise Hoop Earrings

Statement necklaces have had their hurrah the past couple seasons, but there's a new kid in town: eye-catching earrings. I already have a few pairs in my jewelry box, but these Lisa Stewart Turquoise Hoop Earrings ($154) are too good to pass up. I'm enamored with the bright turquoise beads but the price is a little too hefty for me at the moment.

Celebrity Style: Katharine McPhee

Katharine McPhee stood out at the LA premiere of I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry in her psychedelic Nieves Lavi dress. Although the colors clash with the red carpet, she still manages to look fresh. I like that she didn't go matchy matchy with the accessories. The pointy pumps are a bit outdated but her confidence makes it work. Don't forget to check out her henna tattoo on her left foot!

Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, and Chris Hemsworth Reunite For a SWATH Photo Shoot

Katie Henry — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 07:55:06 PST

Kristen Stewart teamed up with her Snow White and the Huntsman costars Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron for a photo shoot in LA Friday. Kristen arrived in a casual hoodie and later changed into a plaid shirt to pose with her leading man, Chris. The trio wrapped the film just before the holidays and since then they've all kept busy with new projects and well-deserved vacations.

Earlier this month it was announced that Kristen will be the new face of Balenciaga perfume while Charlize scored the February cover of W magazine. Meanwhile, Chris and his wife Elsa Patakay announced they're expecting their first child later this year and also vacationed off the coast of St. Barts with Matt Damon. Chris and Matt let loose during their stay in the Caribbean, and even partied with George Clooney's ex Lisa Snowdon. Snow White and the Huntsman hits theaters June 1 and we can look forward to seeing a lot more of Chris, Kristen, and Charlize in the upcoming months.
