Meet Leigh Hickombottom. We featured her in our July 2009 issue – she was the model for “Four Weeks to a Sexy & Sleek V-Taper” (which she totally has, by the way) – and this month we’re showing her off on our cover.

LEIGH TALKS TRAINING
“Right now my workouts consist of a four or five day split,” says Leigh, a busy mom of two girls and personal trainer who rotates her workouts between the gym, home and the outdoors (which she loves). She says it helps keep things varied and flexible.

HER WORKOUT
Monday: 40 minutes upper body exercises followed by 20 minutes cardio
Tuesday: 40 minutes cardio and abs training
Wednesday: 40 minutes lower body exercises followed by 20 minutes cardio
Friday: 30 minutes high intensity cardio and abs training

EATING CLEAN
Leigh eats small meals throughout her day, including one to two protein shakes consisting of fruit, milk and protein powder. Staples in her kitchen at any given time include fish, chicken, oatmeal, eggs, brown rice, green beans, spinach, watermelon, bananas and raspberries.

HER ADDICTION
“Sushi. Salmon or yellowtail made with brown rice,” she says.
