Rob Kardashian is sticking to a strict diet -- no fast food, regular workouts and lots of Blac Chyna ... and friends think it's already helped him shed about 40 lbs.

We're told Rob's also cut out red meats and carbs while hitting the gym 5 times a week with a trainer ... plus additional workouts with Chyna.

We're told the couple made a "no cheat days" vow, and they're motivating each other to stick to it.

It's hard to say the program isn't working, based on recent pics. Some home cookin' from Blac Chyna doesn't hurt either ...

Eddie Lacy could be coming back to Green Bay straight DIESEL ... 'cause it looks like the Pro Bowler has taken up P90x creator Tony Horton's offer to train him ... we think.

We broke the story ... Horton made an on-camera plea to Lacy -- basically begging to train the running back -- after Packers head coach Mike McCarthy demanded Lacy drop 30 pounds before next season.

Well, there is some evidence to suggest the two have linked up and are getting it RIGHT NOW in Jackson Hole, Wyoming ... namely a tell tale Moose.

Check out these two posts that each guy put up on social media recently -- pay attention to the certain alces (look it up) figure that shows up in each shot.

Need more? How about GB head coach Mike McCarthy saying Lacy is "conditioning as we speak" in a presser he just gave ... seemingly aware of Eddie's efforts to shave some muffin top.

Kylie Jenner is a spokesperson for the direct rival of Kanye West ... PUMA.

It's a stunning development ... because remember, just a week ago Kanye tweeted, "1000% there will never be a Kylie PUMA anything."

We're told Kylie will be in the Spring/Summer women's training campaign, which launches in April.

PUMA says Kylie represents, "a fresh and exciting new era for fashion and we couldn't think of a more fitting and influential female to headline this campaign."

Remember, Kanye called out PUMA, telling them, "PUMA, we gone give you your measley million dollars back!!! Never try to divide the family!!!"

Family divided.

If Tiger Woods wasn't kickin' himself before ...

Here's Olympic skiiing legend Lindsey Vonn getting in a quick workout while on the set of her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition body paint shoot ... and it's awesome.

Not only is she basically naked -- and beasting out with a set of full grown-ass woman pull-ups -- but she's also doing it while sporting a pair of high heels.

Here's LSU running back Leonard Fournette busting out a set of 405 POUND squats like it's nothing.

Last year, Leonard said he could max out at 605 lbs ... and the way he knocks out 405, it makes you wonder if that number has gone up even more.

For comparison, here's Alabama running back Derrick Henry busting out 1 rep of 500 pounds last year.

Lamar Odom is doing so well, if you didn't know he was at death's door in October, you would never know he suffered 12 strokes and was unable to walk or speak.

As we reported, Lamar went hiking with Kim and Khloe over the weekend. The doctors never thought they would see the day. But even more surprising ... Lamar's cognitive functions have significantly returned ... he's able to process thoughts, speak them and carry on conversations.

Lamar had significant problems recognizing people -- even family members -- for several months after he was rushed to the hospital. But now his recall is back.

We're told Lamar's not completely back. He's still "a bit slow," and has memory lapses and sometimes has problems speaking. But the issues are subtle.

As for the hike, we're told his goal is to be able to run again. He's not there, but he's determined and believes he still has a shot at playing basketball again.

We're told Lamar's trajectory is so miraculous, he has a shot at living independently in a matter of months.

Looks like it's chest day for Rob Kardashian.

His chick, Blac Chyna, documented his bench press reps -- although she conveniently kept the bar and the weights out of frame.

We don't know how much Rob's lifting, but we can say his arms are looking fit.

If Eddie Lacy is on the fence about training with the P90X guy ... this could be the video that pushes him into the "yes" camp.

We ran into Troy Aikman in NYC -- and since he's a huge fitness enthusiast (not to mention an NFL Hall of Famer) ... we asked if P90X could actually do the trick for Lacy, who's been under fire for being overweight.

Long story short -- Aikman approves in a big way.

And in case you forgot ... Troy is pretty shredded.

Rob Kardashian put on his best pair of Yeezys and hit the gym with his girl, Blac Chyna -- and then she showed us exactly how she got him to work out in the first place.

BC posted a clip ... first from the kitchen -- looks like breakfast -- and then from the gym. You can clearly hear a guy in the background the whole time.

Our first clue it's Rob -- the guy's wearing Yeezys, the official footwear of Kardashian-Jenners everywhere. Also, the bird's-eye view of Chyna's boobs while she's on the elliptical is a dead giveaway. For the record, she's not showing a bit ... yet.

Get it, Rob!

If Usher can act as well as he throws a punch, he's gonna kill as boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard in the upcoming Roberto Duran biopic "Hands of Stone."

Usher's actually been training for 2 years at Decatur Boxing Club outside Atlanta. The club's owner Xavier Biggs tells us his student put in two-a-days -- 2 hours a day, 6 days a week and even met with Sugar Ray to prepare for the role in the film.

Filming has wrapped, but Usher hasn't stopped climbing into the ring. Biggs -- whose brother won Olympic gold -- says the singer's gotten so good he can hang with the pros.

With GB Packers coach Mike McCarthy ripping Eddie Lacy for being out of shape this season -- there's one man who says he can save the embattled running back ... THE P90X GUY!!!!

In case you missed it ... Lacy was heavily criticized for appearing larger than usual when he arrived to camp to kick off the 2015 season ... and never seemed to drop the excess weight.

McCarthy says Lacy needs to get his ass in shape for next season ... or else.

Enter fitness mega-mogul Tony Horton -- creator of the world famous P90X program -- who says he would LOVE the opportunity to PERSONALLY train Lacy this off-season ... because he's confident he get real results.

Horton tells us he's already got a 3-month bootcamp style plan in mind -- which would get Lacy back into top form.

"Time is ticking ... so it's time for him to step up."

BTW, a bunch of NFL stars have raved about P90X -- including Ray Lewis.

Taylor Swift and BFF Selena Gomez looked super hot sans makeup after their workout Monday in West Hollywood.

The squad members hit up Body By Simone, where dance is heavily incorporated into the exercise.

Envious much?

Seems there's a bright side to not making the playoffs ... Double Doubles ... 'cause Rams stud Akeem Ayers says he's gonna start his off-season conditioning at IN-N-OUT!!!

Ayers was out at Mastro's grabbing a "light" bite when we asked him what would be the first thing he stuffs his face with when the season is finito ... and he no longer has to watch what he eats.

Peep the clip -- Akeem KNOWS what he wants ... and how he wants it ... saying he's going full fat boy at the fast food joint, with "animal style" everything (grilled onions, special sauce, cheese).

Richard Simmons has not been seen in public for almost 2 years, and that's exactly the way he wants it because he just doesn't want to be famous anymore.

It's coming up on 2 years since Richard vanished from public view ... abandoning longtime friends, and even turning his back on his famous exercise studio where he was a fixture.

Friends and family were so alarmed they called the police, who did a welfare check in January, but the cops say Richard was lucid and relaxed.

Richard's rep tells TMZ, the exercise guru is "happily living life outside the public eye." Richard's people have never said why he abruptly disappeared ... mostly retreating to the confines of his home.

It's interesting ... although Richard hasn't shown up at his exercise studio for well over a year, when you call the number it sounds like Richard may always return the next day ... but that he just isn't there "today."

The rep says Richard is still committed to helping the "obese and overlooked" and is working "behind the scenes" on charity projects.

Cam Newton called out Kevin Hart -- challenging the comic to bang out a set of 225 on the bench press ... AND KEVIN HART ANSWERED THE CALL!!

Cam, Kev and Ice Cube were at Harding High in North Carolina -- where they donated $7,500 for a new weight room -- when Cam put Kevin on the spot with the question that shook his manhood to the core ... how much can you bench, bro???

Cam started a "225" chant -- Kev asked Cube to hold his Santa hat -- and then it was on!!!
