Playboy presents Hard Body.

If I could do anything in the world, I'd own a motorcycle.

I love the way they feel, just to ride around and have people say, hey, look at

that chick on the motorcycle.

That's so cool.

Ride around in little short shorts and one of those little World War II helmets

or something, just to get attention, let people know I'm here.

What I really like about working out is, you know, it just improves my self

-esteem. It makes me feel good about myself.

You know, I think a woman's body is beautiful.

It's art. It's fluid and perfect.

It's just why I work out, to look good.

Working out definitely makes me more sexual. I love working the muscles in my

legs. It amazes my boyfriend how, after working out, how aroused I become and

sexual.

I really didn't get into working out to look better until probably a year and a

half ago. I started lifting weights because I'm really a warrior at heart.

I started wrestling when I was about three.

Actually, what it was is my brother started kicking my butt.

I was really gawky in high school, and it was, you know, in order to stop from

getting taken advantage of, I had to start wrestling.

My parents, they just think it's so crazy.

But the truth of the matter is, I love it. Do you really love it? Yes, I love

it.

What I find sexiest about working out is the way I feel when I'm done working

out.

And I like that sweaty feeling all over my body. And then going home and taking

a hot shower.

And you kind of pamper yourself afterwards. It's so really good.

A woman in the 90s is about being strong, yet feminine, and

trying to mold all that together. It's a total

package, and these days you can't achieve that and have respect for it.

You can be strong in the workplace. You can be creative in your work. You can be

sensual and sexy at home. You can have incredible strength in the gym.

and attract and have respect from all types of people.

After I work out, I like to go home and put hot oil all over my body. I really

like the feeling of my muscles and exploring the strength and the

definition. It's very erotic to me.

What I like most about wrestling is... Body contact.

My dream is that by working out and moving and breathing, I can surpass time

and the aging process itself.

What drives me is desire, most definitely.

Desire to succeed and to be physically fit and to be strong.

Physically, strength is muscle mass and being able to move your body with ease.

Inner strength is spirituality.

And being a deeply emotional person as well as sensitive, you have to be strong

to be a good woman in the 90s.

There definitely is a relationship between sensuality and working out.

In my opinion, it entails your body, because women have been blessed with

these curves.

And when you work out, you enhance those curves. You give them something strong.

Lovemaking. With the breathing and you sweat, that's definitely the most erotic

workout.

My dream is that by working out and moving and breathing, I can surpass time

and the aging process itself.

What do you think? Should we go to the shop?

Definitely.

I think that women have come a long way. A long way. Yeah.

And for me personally, I pride myself on being independent. You know what I mean?

It's like I don't have to depend on anybody.

And it's like women are just a lot stronger, can be a lot more aggressive

and assertive and, you know, do whatever they want to do.

When you accomplish what you're there to accomplish.

It builds a lot of self-confidence.

It's a major adrenaline rush.

Almost to the point of being sexual.

I mean, you're like moving at a fast pace. You're hot and sweaty.

Real sexual feel.

What about you?

I don't think I can do this one.

Lock onto that pole.

Pull up with your left hand.

I can't reach with my foot.

You have to muscle it.

I don't think I'm strong enough. Yes, you are. Have no fear.

No fear?

What are you waiting for?

Good girl.

Sexy to me is someone who knows that they look as great as they feel. When

you're healthy and you take care of yourself, you're so dynamic that

everyone around you can see that spark.

I'm a certified personal trainer and also I'm a certified aerobics

instructor.

The combination of those two things keeps me all so fit. And helping other

people get into shape, to watch them change, it's just incredible. You know,

it's great to watch them.

The sexiest part of working out is the combination of femininity yet strength.

Working out with weight, you progressively get stronger and stronger

if you want to. And you retain your femininity.

yet you're strong inside, you know it, and on the outside, you're still

retaining your femininity and you look great, you know.

The best part of rollerblading is playing a team sport.

I really love the physical contact and the camaraderie, you know, the friendly

competition.

The thing I enjoy most about working with Playboy is it's a form of

expression that most people never get to experience in terms of how you feel at a

certain time and how you move and like acting out your fantasies and

going with them.

I get together with my friends on a regular basis to dance and work out.

We love working out with one another because we don't have to worry about the

guys hitting on us or anything.

We can just have fun.

I think that training with a partner can be very sensual and it's arousing or

exciting because you're seeing Either someone you're attracted to or someone

you love the body and motion and the breathing and everything about it is

really kind of, it's almost primally arousing.

As you're working, you're becoming more and more in touch with your body. By the

end of a workout, you're very aware of every inch of yourself.

It's very sensual, the whole experience.

It's very cliché to say that your body is your temple and that whole aspect,

but there's a lot of truth to that. And care for your body is like care for your

soul. You need to nurture it.

It's a form of stress release for me, being able to just do whatever, think

about whatever you want to think about.

Just on a therapeutic level, if I didn't work out, I would be institutionalized

by now. That's how I get everything out.

I need it.

And it's almost like the Greek gods and goddesses type thing when you're

sculpting your body to that point.

What is it?

Mythological.

The hardest time I have is getting motivated when I work out alone.

I definitely let myself off the hook too easily.

I need help.
