VH1’s reality shows like
Flavor of Love and
Rock of Love are now classique and iconique. But they had much more value than just entertainment: They were also all about fitness.
Here, let us revisit the beauty and fitness wisdom imparted on us by these beautiful, fit queens. These are the best fitness-related moments from these reality shows.
(Lots of images, be warned.)
What were the show’s best fitness-related moments? Let’s take a look.
Flav, Hoopz, and Pumkin Do YogaOn a romantic spa date, Flav, Hoopz, and Pumkin got closer by doing some yoga… especially downward dog position.
Hottie boasts about her 26” waistHottie from FOL is notorious for claiming that her weave was her real hair and claiming that her garbage clothes were couture. But she also claimed to have boobs that were 34DD, 38DD, and 44DD, depending on whenever you asked her.
And she claimed to have a 26” waist… but when Brigitte Nielsen, Flav’s ex, gave her a polygraph, she failed the test repeatedly!!! (And the moment spawned a now-classic gif.)
New York Is Body-Positive… About HerselfBody positivity is an important part of fitness. New York had a lot of love for one person: New York. She gained a lot of weight on
Flavor of Love, but she loved her body all the same, even when her own mother and Pumkin tried to come for her.
The Contestants Go To Boot CampOn
Flavor of Love: Charm School, the girls had to use teamwork to carry their camping gear up a mountain.
Hottie won the challenge because she carried only a small log and a bag of candy.
Later, a drill sergeant whipped them into shape with an obstacle course.
"Buckwild" was confident until she struggled, and then "Becky" came out.
Fortunately, she was able to find a silver lining to their boot camp.
On
Rock of Love: Charm School, a drill sergeant made them do early-morning group challenges on the beach.
Megan refused to do any work and made the girls pull her around in a cart.
Brandi C. soon joined her.
Bret Works Out His Huge MusclesHis sexy bod combined with his expensive wig, no wonder so many heaux wanted some Bret Michaels. He was often filmed working out at some random hotel gym, doing
weak super macho man exercises to work his big muscles.
Like boxing in a baseball cap, sunglasses and jewelry.
Or pretending to do 1,000 reps to impress Brittanya.
New York’s Men fight for her in the ringBoxing is great for discipline and core strength. New York’s men worked out some of their aggression in the boxing ring.
Skinny little White Boy knocked out Real (rest in peace) with one punch.
But the real event was when Chance knocked Mr. Boston out of the damn ring.
White Boy and Hoopz race for moneyOn
I Love Money Season 1, the two finalists were Hoopz and White Boy. On the finale, they had to race through Mexico-- seriously, running through the streets, beaches and hills of Mexico-- to win the final prize of $250,000.
The Girls Use Pole FitnessAnd, of course, there's all the pole dancing. But only for exercise...Definitely not because they were strippers.
For example, Taya insisted that she was not a stripper.
And yet…
However, Frenchie, aka Angelique, was proud of her stripper-ness.
Hottie Does Tai Chi By The PoolAnd don’t forget Hottie doing tai chi by the pool in a pink negligee and sweat socks.
