Behind-the-scenes: SHAPE magazine cover shoot

Lesson learnt - no amount of combat+yoga+pilates in 3 days can flatten the tummy.

BUT 5 inch heels can! Instantly!

Now I know what goes on below the thighs when it comes to cover shoots lol.

With the right amount of DI, hopefully they'll give me some kick-ass abs too ;)

Would've made a nice pic if the stand wasn't there. At least this shows I was standing straight!

My gym - first thing in the morning. With my huge luggage filled with alternatives for wardrobe.

They canceled classes for the entire DAY. I felt really bad cuz I know how ardent the other gym-goers are. Sorry guys.

Hair/ makeup next to weights and dumbells. I thought that was quite funny.

The creative directors checking my posture etc. That mat with the bar/ weights was where I was 10 mins before the photog started snapping. They made me workout some b4 the shoot so my 'muscles' would come out. hahaha how embarrassing.

When I'm most in my element - actually moving!

Sorry pic's blurred.

I was perfecting a muay thai knee for the camera. Thanks Jason (instructor) for making sure I didn't look like some crazy leaping frog!

I'm sure the finished pics will look waaaaay better. But that was my day @ the gym for shoot. Thought I'd share.

If I don't write before 2009... peace+love!!!
