  • I saw a picture of Dara in the New York Times dated July 29, 2008. What bothers me is her abs. Has anybody seen a 41 year old MAN with that kind of definition? I've worked out with a number of professional female athletes under 30 that do not have that kind of definition. Believe me, they also do 90 minutes of core work a day. Can somebody find me a pic of a woman over 35 who has had a baby in the last 2.5 years that has abs like that? Can somebody find me a pic of a woman over 35 who has not had a baby that has abs like that? Something does not seem right. www.cathe.com. Cathe is 44, has two children in elementary school. The other women in her videos are also in their early 40's. Jari is in her 40's, not sure if she has children: www.rippedworkout.ca/.../photos.htm I could pull a lot more video fitness instructors in their 40's up, and especially the Tae Bo folks. It is their business to look ripped, so in their videos, they reduce their bodyfat down to a low point, but not as low as Dara's, which really shows those abs off. Cathe did a video 6 months after the birth of her first child and her abs were absolutely incredible in the video. I am sure it took tons of hard work, but that is the point, a person whose job is to do this work has the time to get their body in this type of shape. Dara is not getting up at 4 am so she can get her work-out in, child up to daycare and rush off to work, her entire focus is this. Don't think there are too many 41 year olds who can do that.
