Pamela Anderson has basically made a living with her body. So it’s important for her to stay in shape. But that gets harder the older we get. Pamela is 42 now, and there’s only so much a nip-and-tuck can do.
Even Pamela herself admits that it isn’t as easy as it used to be for her burn off the foods she eats. Exercise burns off calories, but people burn things off at different speeds. Sometimes no matter how much you work out, you just can’t manage to burn off as much as you’d like.
When you exercise really hard, your body gets hot and might even start to hurt a little. When you can feel the burn, that’s when you know you’re really burning a lot off.
