Former Disney Princess and  star of hit series Hannah Montana,  Miley Cyrus  has shredded her innocent  image in exchange for the sassy, sexy woman that covers Cosmopolitan magazine’s March 2013 issue. Transitioning from long, wavy brunette locks to a short pixie blonde and sporting edgy, risky clothing like her much beloved crop top! The Miley that we used to know seems to have disappeared, gone, vanished. The new Miley is:

1. Not single. She is engaged to hot and hunky aussie, Liam Hemsworth.

2. Working on her fourth solo album.

3. Has taken an interest in twerking. Yes, TWERKING. (See the video below!)

4. To top it all off, she has developed a long, lean “womanly” figure that she shows off any chance she gets. She loves her crop tops!

With the help of celebrity Pilates trainer  Mari Winsor, Miley’s former Hannah Montana physique has transformed into a super sexy figure that she is exceptionally proud of.  Thanks to Miley’s mother, she met with Winsor and fell in love with the Pilates program. Pilates is a workout system that requires concentration, control, and breathing. It builds strength  without looking bulky, creating a sleek toned body. Miley is a fan of all Pilates workouts, but her favorites focus on the abs. (Did I mention her infatuation with crop tops?)

Just because it is Super Bowl Sunday this weekend doesn’t mean that you have to give up your workout for the day. Put the “Super” in Super Bowl Sunday with these fun ideas!

Pre-Game Tips:

• Whenever there is a time out, drink some water to keep hydrated like your favorite players. Drinking enough water every day is a key part to staying healthy. And if you’re playing the Super Bowl Workout Game, below, you’re going to need the water!

• Reach for the celery instead of the wings. The wings may be calling your name, but silence them by crunching on their much healthier plate companion, celery sticks. Your waistline will thank you in the morning.

• Get up and move around during halftime. Whether you want to dance around to Beyonce or go outside and play some football, get off that couch and move around!
