Elle Varner: Talented, Healthy, and Fit!


I caught up with Elle Varner, a talented artist from New York City, during one of her training sessions.  Elle sings, plays the guitar and writes her own music. Her first album is about to drop and in preparation Elle is busy in the studio but also finds time to stay fit!

Q: What can you tell us about your upcoming album?
Elle: It’s very exciting! It’s my personal journey mixed with guitar bass and hip-hop.  It’s definitely a new sound.

Q: It must be hard finding time to workout!
Elle: Well, I find time to train with Jade! The workouts are challenging but very effective!

Q: How has your fitness level changed since you have been working with Jade?
Elle: I have serious upper body strength now.  But, I don’t look too bulky.  This is the lightest and healthiest I have ever been in my life.

Q: Sorry! I know it’s hard to talk and run on the treadmill at the same time!
Elle: No this is good! Its distracting me!

Q: So, it seems like you were able to lose weight! But what about the rest of America, how do you feel about the rising obesity rates?
Elle:  Its horrible! The less fortunate can’t afford to eat healthy, so their only option is fast food!

Q: It’s so sad! There is no education either.  So what do you eat on a daily basis?
Elle: I try to eat mostly vegetarian and lots of fish.

Q: What about when you go on vacation?
Elle:(Laughs) I ate so badly the first day last weekend so I made sure that the next day I took my vitamins and I also had Kale!

Q: Kale is loaded with vitamins! So what celeb do you think has the hottest body?
Elle: (laughs) Reggie Bush! Oh and Tristan Wild!

Q:  Tell us something people may not know about you.
Elle: I make jewelry!

Q: Like Bedazzled?
Elle: (laughs) No, like real jewelry.  I make names out of wire also.

Q: That’s neat! Inspire us! Leave us with one of your favorite quotes.
Elle: “To thine own self be true” That’s Shakespeare I think…yep its Shakespeare.
