Christina Hendrick’s Road to Successful Career
Born on May 3, 1975, to father Robert Hendricks and mother Jackie Sue Raymond, Christina moved around a lot due to her father’s job who was a forest serviceman. With this type of lifestyle, she grew up in several different locations, which certainly is one of the reasons for her versatile personality.
Christina started her career as a model after she won a competition that allowed her to appear on the cover of Seventeen Magazine. This success gained her quite a bit of fame, and as a result, she signed with IMG Models.
With her modeling career blooming, Christina was able to land roles in ads of numerous brands such as Carl’s Jr and Dr. Pepper. Afterward, she decided to move to Los Angeles, where she started taking up acting roles.
Her TV debut was in the series Undressed which was, at the time, airing on MTV. The show was quite the hit and gained numerous fans, which also reflected positively on Christina’s acting career. This success allowed her to land more acting roles and get more shows as time progressed.
Christina’s first starring role was in Beggars and Choosers, after which she became even more popular and started getting more offers as a lead TV actress. It allowed her to land more roles in the TV industry, including a cult classic, Firefly.
Christina Hendricks Workout Habits
If Christina’s physique is something close to your ideal figure, you should know there are some things you can do to achieve this or at least get a bit closer to it. There are many exercises for the entire body, but some that Christina recommends and does herself are:
- Picking up weights while standing on a Bosu ball to build muscles, this way your workout is more functional.
- Any kind of cardio (running, walking, swimming, cycling…)
When it comes to exercising, it is important to mention that Christina was a dancer until she was 19 years old. She said she never worried about her lifestyle or food she ate during this period. Now that she is in her 40s, it is a completely different story.
She said she has to constantly remind herself to take vitamins and exercise. She was also a model and she said that the first time she went to Italy she drank cappuccinos on a daily basis and gained 15 pounds. She said she felt like a beautiful women for the first time and she never tried or wanted to lose that weight.
As I mentioned before, her breast have been a topic of many speculations. Many people speculated she had a plastic surgery, but she always denied such theories. Her weight has gone up and down through the years and this could be a cause increase and decrease in her bust size, which has a lot more sense.
Lifestyle
When it comes to lifestyle an important thing Christina recommends is enjoying in your food and while you are cooking it. Try to replace certain ingredients with healthier options, for example when she craves sour cream or crème fraiche she takes Greek yogurt instead.
But she also believes we should let our cravings win from time to time, she enjoys sipping on a cappuccino or eating chips with French onion dip, and one of her favorite meals spaghetti with red sauce. Her favorite cocktail is Brandy Alexander, she doesn’t drink it all the time, but it is the best drink she has ever had.
According to her, a healthy lifestyle is not depriving oneself of doing what you want.
