The ever gorgeous Brooke Shields graces the cover of October 2008 issue of Shape Magazine, the Special Breast Cancer Awareness Month edition of the fitness magazine.
The actress says her secret to staying slim is spinning class. “Spinning is the only way I ever lose weight,” she says. “It’s purely about keeping my heart rate up and burning calories.”
Brooke prepared for her cover shoot by doing tons of spinning before she had foot surgery in April to remove a bunion. She had to be off of her feet for two months, “I was worried about getting out of shape and gaining weight after the surgery. So just as I did with my pregnancies, I decided to go into it at my physical best.”
“I can’t believe I said I’d do this shoot when I haven’t been able to exercise for almost eight weeks,” Brooke told the magazine.
After the surgery Brooke said she put on 9 pounds from not being able to spin, “That was a little more than I’d hoped, but by giving myself that cushion, I know I’ll get back into shape pretty quickly once I can start Spinning again.”
