Fitness & Exercise

Claudia Jordan said models are a lot like boxers -- making weight and looking the part is totally part of the job.

We got Claudia outside Delilah Sunday night in WeHo and asked her about claims her former "Deal or No Deal" co-star Tameka Jacobs made ... saying Meghan Markle was told to stuff her bra and watch her figure in her 1-year stint as a briefcase model.

Check it out ... Claudia gets brutally honest ... not only confirming Tameka's claims, but taking it a step further by saying the inspections didn't cross the line, because models have to look good.

Speaking of which ... here's Her Royal Highness rocking a Santa dress.

Happy Ho-Ho-Ho-lidays!!!

'Biggest Loser' trainer Dolvett Quince is trying to scare every L.A. runner straight ... off the street or trail during the intense wildfires.

We got the super toned trainer at LAX, and asked if it's still safe to run, or exercise at all, with the fires smoking up much of the L.A. basin. Remember ... some of the hard hit areas -- in Bel-Air, Malibu and the San Fernando Valley -- are home to tons of celebs who enjoy training outdoors.

Meghan Markle is going full Karate Kid ahead of her Royal nuptials -- because she's hired Michael Jackson's former bodyguard to learn how to defend herself ... TMZ has learend.

Our Royal sources tell us Meghan has hired celeb security adviser and trainer Matt Fiddes to teach her martial arts and self-defense -- as well as to get her in shape ahead of her wedding with Prince Harry in May.

Meghan just landed back in L.A. Wednesday to spend time with her mom ahead of the holidays -- and we're told Matt booked a last-minute flight to Hollywood this week, so the training could begin STAT.

Matt's a natural fit for Meghan. He owns one of the biggest martial arts franchises in the world -- Matt Fiddes Martial Arts -- and works with tons of celebs, including Tom Cruise.

He's also got close ties with the Royal Family -- MJ was tight with Princess Diana, and he became part of her inner circle. Plus ... he's a Brit, so he'll be geographically desirable.

We're told Meghan's endgame is not about fitness -- sources close to Matt tell us Meghan hired him specifically to learn self-defense. Sounds like she's supplementing her hostage training.

Hi-ya!

Holly Holm better be on her game come UFC 219 ... 'cause Cris Cyborg tells TMZ Sports one of the top dogs in women's fighting is joining her training camp to help her prep.

We got Cyborg in Downtown L.A. ... and the UFC women's featherweight champ told us undefeated boxing superstar Cecilia Braekhus is flying in all the way from Norway to help her smash Holly (a former pro boxer) at UFC 219.

Cris got in some serious work with ex-boxing champ Mia St. John a couple weeks ago ... but Cecilia's a whole different animal (and a proven team player).

As for the fight itself ... Cyborg admits that she and Holm are cool -- but says that ain't gonna stop her from taking her head off!!

Ashley Graham brought the temp up a few degrees in NYC with an insanely sexy shoot for Love Magazine's Advent Calendar.

No need to write about it ... it's all about the video, so check it out.

The calendar was shot by Phil Poynter and features Ashley, along with Doutzen Kroes, Hailey Baldwin, Sara Sampaio, Teyana Taylor, Alexis Ren and Barbara Palvin. That's not all ... Kate Upton, Taylor Hill, Romee Strijd and Stella Maxwell.

Nick Jonas should have a license to carry, right?

Nick was leaving an L.A. gym Friday when he showed off his guns as he sipped on a protein drink. He hits the gym pretty much every day.

We're told after he got his workout in he went to work, although its unclear which work. Since he's acting, singing and appearing in concert, it's hard to know what he was doing afterward.

Here's surf legend Bethany Hamilton gearin' up for her 3rd trimester -- by carving up the swells in Hawaii like a total badass!!

Bethany famously returned to pro surfing after losing her left arm in a shark attack ... so hanging 10 with a 6-month-old fetus seems pretty tame in comparison.

The kid is due in March -- and Bethany's 2-year-old son, Tobias, is pretty stoked to be a big brother ... as you can see in their adorable announcement video.

Congrats!

Meek Mill's been sprung from solitary confinement and moved to another prison with greener pastures ... literally.

An official at the State Correctional Institution in Chester, PA tells TMZ ... the rapper was just transferred to their prison and out of Camp Hill. He's now in general population and he has his own cell.

We broke the story ... Meek wanted out of solitary because he feared it would take a severe toll on his mental state.

Meek can now hit up the yard in the morning or afternoon. He can ball out on the court or go for a jog. Should he fancy himself with a book, he can read it at the on-site library or in his cell. Gym time will depend on which job he ends up taking ... which, by the way, pays 19 cents an hour.

P!nk wasn't kidding when she said her next performance would be the craziest and most insane ... because hanging off a 34-floor hotel is MADNESS!!!

She's known for her awesome acrobatics, but stepped up her game during a Friday rehearsal for the American Music Awards. We got P!nk hanging by wires off the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Downtown L.A. and doing dance moves, flips and generally floating in the wind.

One look at this video, and you'll understand why she's worried about being able to breathe Sunday night during the show.

And if you're wondering ... yes, the AMAs got a permit for this insanity.

5:17 PM PT -- A rep for the NYC Marathon tell us Kevin Hart finished the race with a time of 4 hours and 5 minutes; Karlie finished at 4 hours and 41 minutes; Tiki finished at 4 hours and 38 minutes.

With great distance comes a great responsibility to run a decent time -- which Kevin Hart, Karlie Kloss and other celebs took up in the streets of New York this weekend.

A handful of stars threw on their running shoes Sunday and took part in the annual New York City Marathon -- all 26.2 miles of it -- including Kevin, Karlie, "Catfish" host Nev Schulman and ex-Giants running back Tiki Barber ... among others.

Kevin was all smiles for the camera ... which might've even made him miss the start of the race. As you can see, he wasn't quite ready for the starting shot. Karlie, on the other hand, was kickin' ass -- hitting mile 13 in stride.

The winner of the NYC Marathon turned out to be Shalane Flanagan ... the first American woman in 40 years to win the race. She came in at just under 2 hours and 27 minutes.

Marshawn Lynch ain't one for motivational speaking ... so when he visited his old high school, he decided to throw on some pads and straight WRECK fools at team practice.

'Shawn shared a video of himself droppin' sweat with the boys at Oakland Tech -- the place where Beast Mode all began -- and he didn't hold back ... taking on swarms of tacklers and even stiff-arming one kid to hell on his way to the end zone.

No word on when the video was shot -- but we're looking into it.

Lynch won't suit up for the Raiders this week after pushing a ref last Sunday ... but it's good to see he's welcome back at Tech -- even if he's smashin' on the young fellas.

Baby, Bruce was born to puuuuuump ... up ... in the only gym he could possibly walk into with his head held high.

Yes, Bruce Springsteen was working on his fitness Monday morning by cruising into a Jersey Strong gym ... 'cause it's only right. As you'd expect from the Boss -- no yoga pants or spandex shirts. Just a white tee, flannel and jeans. He even stopped for photos with a couple fans.

Afterward Bruce was asked how the sold out one-man show on Broadway is going. It's already been extended 10 weeks to February 2018. So, yeah ... his answer says it all -- he's on fire.

There's no grey area when it come to Jennifer Lopez's best asset, which was on full display Friday in NYC ... in yoga pants.

J.Lo still had a glow to her leaving her SoHo gym, but you'd never notice it if her butt caught your eye first.

So what does J.Lo's workout include? If it ain't downward dog, we're guessing it's a ton of squats because that booty is only getting better with age.

Here's Jean-Claude Van Damme and UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer proving 60 is really the new 30 -- lookin' absolutely JACKED at a workout sesh.

The pic comes to us courtesy of Buffer ... who says he was droppin' sweat with his old buddy JCVD at a Gold's Gym.

Pretty crazy -- Buff actually looks BIGGER than Jean-Claude ... though the movie star gets props for his ripped-up arm. Bottom line -- both are in insanely good shape.

Probably helps that JCVD's still kickin' ass in "Kickboxer" reboots ... almost 3 decades after the original!

You're looking at Maria Sharapova's worst nightmare -- a fully SNAPPED BACK Serena Williams ... looking fit, focused and ready to beat that ass ... less than a month after giving birth.

Serena gave birth to little Alexis Jr. on Sept. 1 -- and spent several days in the hospital due to "complications."

But early Thursday morning, Serena posted her first full-body post-preggo selfie -- and she looks superhero fit.

Seriously, this is a woman who won a major tennis tourney while pregnant -- who crushed it in the gym at 35 weeks pregnant -- and whose mother guaranteed she'd return to dominate the pro game after the kid was born.

So, when will Serena return? The next Grand Slam is the Australian Open in January ... the same tourney she won while she was in her 1st trimester.

You've been warned.

Chuck Liddell says he hasn't ruled out an MMA comeback -- and if he does return, Chael Sonnen would be a great "warm-up fight."

The 47-year-old UFC legend has been training pretty regularly at Jay Glazer's Unbreakable Gym in L.A. -- and we're told he's still in damn good shape.

And with all the comeback rumors out there, we asked Chuck straight-up what the deal is.

"Chael's an easy fight," Liddell says ... "If I was gonna come back, it's a good one. It's a good warm-up fight. He's got a big mouth but not much behind it."
