READERS SPEAK OUT
“I’M EATING RIGHT THIS RAMADHAN”I just wanted to say: “Thank you so much for the Ramadhan special in your June issue!” I eat well and workout moderately every month except during Ramadhan, which in hindsight, I’ve always used as an excuse to indulge in all my favorite rich and oily foods. But not this time, now that I have your article to guide me in my quest to be healthier and look better!Mia, Ipoh
READY FOR RAYAI’ve never been able to resist the siren call of Ramadhan bazaars but with Are You Eating Right This Ramadhan to help me navigate the dos and don’ts of, I’m confident I’ll shed some kilograms just in time to look slim and fabulous during Raya. Please do a Raya special on kuihs and cookies, I never know which ones to pick or how many to eat.Fauziah, Sungai Besi
May/June IssueAbout Our
CHATTER MATTERS We always enjoy reading your tweets, posts, and emails. Here’s what you’ve been saying.
RUNNER’S KNEE BEGONE!Running is more than a hobby, it’s my passion. I find time to run every day, even if it’s just for 1 kilometre, as I find it so therapeutic. However, my knees and hips have had to pay the price as they’re often sore and achy, especially after a gruelling run. I’ll be paying more attention to my joints thanks to June’s article on joint care.Shanti N., Johor Bahru
TWO’S BETTER THAN ONEI love trying out the mother-child workouts featured in SHAPE’s parenting column with my three year old son, who’s a bundle of energy! We workout together twice a week so he doesn’t feel left out. Thanks SHAPE!Joan Lee, Kuantan
“RAW IS DELICIOUS!”I loved trying out the recipes in June’s Raw
WINNING LETTER
“Yoga Rocks My World!”I recently became really interested in yoga, even writing about it in my diary and doing lots of web research on the subject. I stumbled upon my first copy of SHAPE at the library and I was overjoyed to see your feature on yoga— wow! Your magazine has inspired me to practise yoga almost daily and has really changed my life for the better. I’ve started to learn new yoga poses such as the chaturanga, upward facing dog and half moon, just to name a few. Thanks SHAPE! I can’t wait for your next issue!Edna Percy, Tuaran
Talent Eat Right feature. I’ve toyed with the idea of “going raw” for months but was put off by the cost of a dehydrator. I decided to take the plunge anyway and invested in one about a month ago, so the timing was spot on! The lettuce cups with stir-“fried” shiitakes were an immediate hit with my family, who have proclaimed them a hearty yet healthy comfort food. I personally love the zucchini noodles with pine nuts, olive and tomato relish. Thank you!Erin Wong, Subang Jaya
EYE SEEJune’s Focus story titled Out of Sight, Out of Mind? left a lasting impression. I’m guilty of spending a large chunk of my free time glued to my iPad, often reading or watching TV shows such as Game of Thrones and Downton Abbey late into the night. No wonder my eye sight has deteriorated lately. I now try to read a book—the hardcopy sort—before bed instead of using my iPad.Lina, Petaling Jaya

YOUR FAV FESTIVE TREATS…WEIGHED INNo Hari Raya would be complete without a table piled with sweet treats and festive goodies. Here’s how to navigate them, page 34.
SHAPEwants you to do...
It’s that time of the year again at SHAPE, the time when we slip on our runners and dash… either out the door or indoors on our treadmills. Yes, this month, we celebrate as many things running as we could think of.
Because we know that one run does not fit all, Spring Forward in the Focus section (page 54) helps you find ways to improve your running for speed, but if you’re one who prefers to take the scenic route, see also how you might want to up your running endurance. Of course, as it would be remiss of us to not address that #1 running killjoy—injuries—flip to page 60 to see how you could prevent them on the one hand, and treat them on the other. For a dose of inspiration, as if you need any more, check out page 62 to see what four professional runners say about running and how they started.
To bring down the intensity a notch or three, this issue of SHAPE also boasts classic strength and cardio workout spreads; all three of which I personally enjoy doing. See how Ivanka Trump toned up after having her baby with her dance-pilates-fusion-based strength routine in Star Workout (page 14). Then, to really fire-up your muscle tone with balance-based exercises, turn to page 22 for Strike a Balance (Just 6 Moves) that use a balance disc, another of my pet workout equipment (I have a purple one!).
The pièce-de-résistance, for me, is Fit on the Fly (page 72), not only for the gorgeous art direction and shots of the workout spread, but also because I adore trampoline/rebounder-based routines. Although I don’t use one as big as the one in the spread, I really look forward to my “rebounder days” when I jog, twist and starjump while watching TV.
So, we hope that you will be “doing” this month’s SHAPE more than just reading it!

OBSESSED WITH RIGHT NOW.

WELL HEELED“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world,” Marilyn Monroe infamously quipped. Walk the talk with Pedro’s Summer 2014 footwear collection. Aptly named the “Empowerment of Style”, expect bold runway-inspired details juxtaposed against minimalist hues and croco-embossed detailing. These sole mates will take you from work to cocktail receptions in impeccable fashion.
GET ITCHILL OUT
Working out just got a lot cooler! adidas’ Climachill range ups the game
by incorporating the latest in active cooling technology—an innovative fabric made using titanium and 3D
aluminium cooling spheres. What you’ll get is an instant ‘chill’ effect that keeps your body at its optimum temperature when the weather gets warm, which is
virtually every single day in Malaysia.
SAVE THE DATEBEST BUDS30th July is International Day of Friendship. Have lunch with your colleagues, catch up with your BFFs over dinner, and say “hi” to your neighbours. Better yet, do a random act of kindness such as paying the toll for the car behind you. What goes around, comes around!
SHE’S GOT LEGS Celebrity trainer and former Rockette Rhonda Malkin (near left)
played a part in Ivanka Trump getting her body back after baby (go to page 14 to check out her sculpting moves). “We try to work out a few times a week,” says Ivanka, “but lately it’s a lot less because I travel so much.” ROAD RULES When she’s traveling, Ivanka takes
advantage of the new TRUMP Wellness programs available in all of her family’s hotels. The diet and exercise regimens
feature customized menus for every dietary need and state-of-the-art workout equipment. MIND THE APP When time is
really tight, Ivanka uses a fitness app on her phone to get a quick exercise hit (try Body
Workouts Pro). “I especially love the abs workouts,” she says. “If I’m feeling motivated after I put the kids to sleep, I’ll choose one
and do a little something before bed.”

Ivanka Trump is boss in every sense of the word. How does she manage the super-busy
schedule, the new baby, and the buff body? She’s here to tell you—get ready to take notes!

FASHION STATEMENT “I make clothing for the modern woman,” says Ivanka. “It’s something she can wear in the morning while playing with her kids, that will look polished when she’s in the office, and feminine for a dinner date with her husband.”
1407 - FOB_CoverProfile.indd 11 6/9/14 3:37 PM
the Wharton School, she spent a year at other companies before joining her father’s firm in 2005.
“As long as I can remember, this is what I’ve wanted to do,” says Ivanka, now the executive vice president of development and acquisitions at The Trump Organization. “I would have felt different about real estate if my parents were miserable at the end of the day. But they were excited about their projects. My father would talk about the buildings he was designing in exotic locations in the most interesting cities. It was hard not to share that passion when they felt it so intensely.”
Nine years later, the brainy beauty has added even more projects to her résumé. Not only is she a judge on NBC’s popular program The Celebrity Apprentice, the reality show “The Donald” made famous in 2008, she also founded and runs a successful fashion company aptly named Ivanka Trump. What started out as a fine-
jewelry collection has expanded to include fragrance, apparel, shoes and handbags, eyewear, outerwear, children’s footwear, and home accessories. “I wanted to create a line that is tailored to the modern woman,” says Ivanka. “She isn’t just someone who works—she’s a wife and a mother who gets tremendous professional fulfillment out of what she does.” Isn’t she basically describing herself? “I’m one example of that person, for sure,” Ivanka concurs.
“I’m fortunate enough to be part of the generation that benefits from the groundwork laid by my mother and her peers. Today we’re not professionals or parents—we can be both.”
Food for thoughtIvanka made a merger of a different sort in 2009, when she married Jared Kushner, CEO of Kushner Companies and Chairman of Observer Media Group. As both are unabashed workaholics, it was clearly a match made in heaven (and that’s a pretty impressive property—just imagine those air rights!). Despite their busy schedules, they’ve had time to nurture two gorgeous children, Arabella, who turns 3 in July, and 7-month-old Joseph.
Prior to her pregnancies, Ivanka’s diet was fairly hedonistic. “I ate like a teenager,” she admits. “Carbs three meals a day, usually in the form of pizza or pasta. But when I was expecting Arabella, my attitude toward food changed, and I began thinking about nutrition in a whole new way. I pushed myself to eat more lean protein, primarily chicken and salmon. Slowly I started to actually enjoy, if not crave, these healthier options. Now healthy eating is the norm for me, especially at breakfast and lunch, although I have no
COVER GIRL
“My favorite part of the [Fit Pregnancy] shoot was when my daughter came to the set and we took a few pictures of me with Joseph in my belly and Arabella in my arms.”
It clearly takes effort to get so fit so soon, but the offspring of real estate mogul Donald Trump and Olympic-skier-turned-socialite Ivana Trump is no stranger to hard work—despite her privileged background. In fact, this heiress may have been born with the proverbial silver spoon in her mouth, but her strict parents made damn sure she knew how to polish it herself.
A work in progressBorn and raised in New York City, Ivanka grew up a straight A student. Her parents paid her tuition, but she was responsible for earning her own spending money—one reason she took up modeling when she was 16. She also showed an early interest in her parents’ businesses, often visiting construction sites with her father and casinos and hotels with her mother, who played a management role in the company. After graduating summa cum laude with a B.S. in economics from

THE LAST TIME IVANKA TRUMP GRACED a magazine cover, she was showing off a major baby bump in the October/November 2013 issue of Fit Pregnancy (see below). Looking at her lean 5’11” frame here in the pages of Shape, you’d never guess she faced our cameras a mere four months after that baby was born. Seriously, how many women would be brave enough to put on a pair of skinny jeans so soon after welcoming a second child, much less for all the world to see?
1407 - FOB_CoverProfile.indd 12 6/2/14 2:36 PM
“I try not to be too hard on myself. My husband reminds me that life is a marathon, not a sprint.”
problem with the occasional indulgence and still thoroughly relish it!” Those
“occasions” are sometimes date nights with Jared, but at home she sticks to fish, salads, and homemade soup for many of her meals. “I love making vegetable, pea, and broccoli soups,” she says. “They’re pure, low-calorie, and incredibly tasty.”
It’s because of these healthy eating habits that Ivanka didn’t have to resort to dramatic dieting to lose the 20 kilograms she gained when pregnant with Arabella or the 15 she put on with Joseph. “Besides,” she says, “I don’t believe in food fads. I tried a juice cleanse and it was a total disaster. For the eight hours that I lasted, I felt like I was on the brink of starvation. For me, it’s about making the right choices.”
Movers and shakersPhysical fitness runs in the Trump family. Her parents were both very athletic— Donald almost went pro baseball and Ivana was an Olympic skier—so they raised their daughter to be active too.
“I grew up skiing,” says Ivanka, who is introducing Arabella to the sport this year. “And this summer we’re taking her out on the golf course. It will probably
end up with her just picking up the golf ball and throwing it down the fairway, but that’s cool. In fact, that’s perfect!”
With three jobs, two kids, and a husband, Ivanka struggles to find time for workouts. “When I was in my 20s, I felt guilty if I didn’t exercise—now I feel guilty if I do,” she says. “Even if it’s just an hour, that’s time I could be spending with my family. So rather than beat myself up, I find things that I like to do with them instead.” She and Jared turn working out into a date by hitting the tennis court or playing 18 holes of golf together.
When she does finally allow herself some well-deserved “me time,” Ivanka likes to take Spin classes; have a session with her trainer, Rhonda (turn to page 30 to see her amazing sculpting moves); or do yoga, which often turns into “we time” with Arabella. “She’ll grab a mat, lay it down next to mine, and show me her poses,” says the proud mom. “You should see her downward dog; it’s so sweet.”
One of Ivanka’s favorite time-saving tricks, though, is something we can all do. “I try to incorporate a little bit here and there,” she says. “I’ll take the stairs instead of the elevator, or when I’m on a phone call, I’ll do squats or pace the room
while I’m talking.” To help her keep track, she relies on a wristband pedometer. “It’s actually been very effective,” she says. “All my movements can add up to 8 kilometers, and I feel like I’ve gotten enough exercise that day. We’re modern women! We have to figure out how to make it work, right?”
Finding the balanceOf course, there are times when it simply doesn’t. And on those days, Ivanka says, “I try not to be too hard on myself. My husband always reminds me that life is a marathon, not a sprint.” To help keep perspective, each night she reflects on how she spent her day, asking herself if she used her time wisely. “I think about my priorities and ensure they’re in check with how I want to live my life,” she says. “I enjoy my home and my work. Hopefully, over time, my kids will admire me and be okay with the choices I’ve made.” Meanwhile, she’s found a lovely way to fuse the two: Every Wednesday Arabella comes to the office for a proper lunch meeting with her mom. “I’m convinced that Arabella thinks ‘working’ means watching Cinderella on my laptop,” says Ivanka, laughing. That seems to be an executive decision they both can live with.

“How I got my body back!”Ivanka Trump relies on no-gear exercises like these to keep her sane and sculpted. By Jeanine Detz Photographs by James Macari
The reason this mom of two is so toned just months after giving birth: consistency. “Ivanka got into fantastic shape before her second pregnancy, and continued exercising throughout it,” says her trainer, Rhonda Malkin. “That made it easier for her to bounce back.” Six weeks postpartum, our cover star eased into her regular fitness routine again, working out with Malkin twice a week and squeezing in five to 10 minutes of cardio and core exercises solo on the other days. Her trainer, a former Rockette, developed her own method, called Fusion Exercise, that incorporates dance, yoga, Pilates, and massage, and uses only body weight. This plan includes six of the duo’s favorite Fusion moves for targeting the tough-to-tone abs, butt, and thighs. Try it to get (or get back) your own hot-mama body.

4. BICYCLE Works absLie face-up with knees bent over hips and
toes pointed; place hands behind head. Extend right leg as you crunch up, rotating
right shoulder toward left knee [shown]. Switch sides, extending left leg as you
draw right knee toward chest and rotate shoulders to the right, to complete 1 rep.
Sexy-abs secret
The bicycle activates more fibers in the rectus abdominis (the “six-pack muscle”) than any other belly toner, according to an American Council on Exercise study.
◂ A | B ▸3. HAMSTRING- GLUTES SERIESWorks legs, butt, and coreStand with hands on hips. Shift weight to right leg, lean forward slightly, and extend left leg behind you, toes pointed and top of foot on the floor.

Raise left thigh to hip height behind you [B], lower it to starting position, and repeat. Do 20 reps. Repeat entire sequence on opposite side to complete set.
