Gabrielle Union Workout Motivation
Most people get motivated to be in a good shape by watching themselves in a mirror, but Gabrielle is motivated by the high definition camera. Well, she has admitted that she doesn’t like the fact that magazines point out every ounce of fat on her body through the lens of a camera and so she tries to keep in shape to avoid getting pointed out.
The Being Mary Jane star has also admitted that she does not want to enhance any specific part of her body like her breasts or her butt. Rather, she tries to just tighten up every part of her body and be in good shape.

In an interview given to EverydayHealth.com, the pretty actress has described her usual workout routine.

Union has given a special message to her fans. She has said that everybody should try to jog whenever one gets some spare time. She advises to begin at level 5 for a minute and then drop it to 3. The next step is to bring your heart rate back down and then attempt for 5.2. Repeat the same going down process and aim for 5.5. In her opinion, six rounds of jogs, walks or sprint/walks can really make a difference. All you need to do is to practice them consistently and never give up.
