Here is Amber Valletta secret for exercise program to lose weight
Shape magazine caught up with this 35-year-old in Los Angeles where she
currently lives. Dressed casually in a white sweater, flats, and black jeans that
show off her fit but curvy body, Amber looks more supermom than super-
model–albeit a gorgeous one. Although tempted by the organic but gooey
goodies offered at the counter–”I love food so much!” she admits–it’s right
before lunchtime, so she settles for a vanilla-infused decaf coffee. Clearly she
has a handle on how not to indulge in high-calorie snacks between meals, but
how else does this self-described foodie stay in such good shape? She
follows a tough but energizing four-day-a-week workout that she sticks to
diligently. Loves to eat and loves to exercise? That’s our kind of role model.

Growing up in Tulsa, Amber was a jock. “I played as many sports as I could–
soccer, track, and basketball,” she says. “In fact, I always dreamed of being an
Olympic or pro athlete. I didn’t have that kind of talent, but I loved being
physical.” No wonder, then, that her work-outs today are reminiscent of high
school.

Rather than hit the gym, Amber meets her trainer, Juni Armstrong, three to
four times a week at a local university track to go through a 90-minute outdoor
routine. They start their morning practice with a warm-up of three or four laps
around the track (about a mile).

Then the hard part begins: Circling the entire stadium, they run up each row of
steps, do a set of either push-ups, bench presses, or lunges at the top, then
run down the steps until they’ve climbed every stairwell in the stadium. “I feel
like I’m in the movie Rocky when we do this part,” says Amber. They finish up
with 10 minutes of abs and some weight training on Juni’s portable bench,
then they cool down with stretches.

After a year of following this intense routine, Amber’s seen a significant
difference in her body. “My goal was to get my arms and legs stronger, and
they are,” she says. “And lately I’ve noticed how great my butt looks. The other
day I put on a skirt, looked in the mirror, and thought, ‘Wow, I’ve got back!’ I
never had that before, and I love it. My body is definitely changing for the
better.”

Whether doing a fashion shoot, making a film (Game, a futuristic thriller in
which she does physically challenging stunts) or cooking for her 7-year-old
son, Auden, Amber’s food plan is simple but consistent: She sticks to an all-
organic, lean protein-and vegetable-based diet that gives her the energy she
needs to get through her hectic days–with the occasional splurge. “I try to
have a lot of little meals during the day,” she says. “I just feel better when I
eat a healthy breakfast, lunch, midday snack, dinner, and bite of something
before bed.” Her first meal of the day is homemade juice made with fresh
spinach, cucumber, parsley, and apples. She has some lean protein, like
chicken, late morning, particularly on days when she works out, and then she
usually has a big green salad with grilled fish or sushi for lunch. Her go-to
afternoon nibbles are protein-packed snacks like hummus with carrot and
celery sticks, cottage cheese, or a handful of almonds or walnuts. Dinner can
be anything from Mexican at a local restaurant to one of her family’s favorite
homemade dishes. “My husband and son love my Thai beef,” says Amber. “I
usually do a fast stir-fry with organic beef, green beans, cherry tomatoes,
ginger, a little fish sauce, and Thai spices. Then I put the whole thing on some
brown rice.” Before bed, rather than eat something supersweet, Amber
prefers Greek yogurt drizzled with a little honey! “But if I want something
sugary or fried–like a chocolate souffle or fries–I have it. Life is meant to be
enjoyed!” she says. “When I do indulge, I know I just have to work out a little
harder the next day.”

Feed The Soul Too
First thing every morning, Amber takes a few minutes to sit quietly and
meditate or pray. “I’ve been spiritual all my life,” says Amber. It’s her faith, she
notes, that helps her stay optimistic. “I know that the more positive I am, the
more helpful I am to people.” The desire to serve others is something she
grew up with. “My mom was always active in our community with food drives
and feeding the homeless,” she explains. “She showed us that you can either
stand still or do your part and help someone who is suffering.” As for passing
along this message to her own son, she believes, like her mother, that actions
speak louder than words. “We show him how to be a better person by being
accepting of others, living a healthy lifestyle, and caring for the future of our
planet.”
