MOST Fitness snagged some time with the model and delved into what a busy day of a fitness expert looks like, who inspires her, and how to live a happy, healthy existence. Hint: it all comes from within.FMM: Wow, I love your idea the Healthinista and comparing fashion to health because we truly are what we eat-what we eat is what we wear! Fascinating! Do you consider yourself a fashionista as well? Who are your go to designers?MP: Yes, I consider myself a fashionista too. When I am not wearing fun gym clothes, I am wearing something trendy and fun. I love fashion, it excites me! My go to designers are Stella McCartney, Kate Spade, Angela Roi, Gunas, and Vaute. FMM: Will your healthy styling differ from your personal training programs? What will the Healthinista brand mainly entail?MP: Yes, it will be put in a different perspective. Much like a fashion stylist does with your body type and budget, they work to create your best style to fit you. I do the same with fitness and food. Everyone has different nutrition styles, different workout styles, and motivational styles. I do not believe in one size fits all when it comes to food and fitness. I work with each individual to customize their program and tailor it to their lifestyle. I believe being healthy will never go out of style! FMM: You are the founder and owner of, %u201cHealthy Housewives%u201d-What has been the most fun/unique thing or project you have all done as part of that company?MP: Wow, that is hard to answer. We have done so many fun things as a group like charity events, fashion shows, photoshoots, and what we do bestteach women to be healthy! But, if I had to pick just one specific memory so far, it was when we flew to LA in a private jet to pitch our business as a makeover reality show in Hollywood. We wanted to bring to TV what we did as a group to help women. We came pretty close 3 times, but in the end, it never made the cut. It was a fun learning process that we had not experienced before. I love learning about myself in those types of situations. Good times!By Darcy Tharp
