LeAnn Rimes Covers Shape Magazine in Red Bikini

Posted on September 15, 2010

Leann Rimes dons a red bikini for the cover of the October issue of Self magazine. In the interview, Leann Rimes talks about boxing to stay in shape. She also talks about her divorce from Dean Sheremet. She says they married too young. She also says Eddie Cibrian won't workout with her because her workouts are too hard.

On Boxing: "Boxing is one of the best workouts you could possibly do. A two-minute round doesn't sound like much, but when you're moving constantly and throwing punches, it wears you out. And boxing workouts really build up your stamina."

On Her Divorce From Dean Sheremet: "My relationship with Dean was great, but ultimately it wasn't a fulfilling marriage for either of us. We got married so young: I was 19 and he was 21, so as we got older, we grew apart. I understand why people are disappointed in me, especially since I grew up as America's sweetheart. I think any relationship is hard to get out of, and I don't think the way I did it was right. I truly believe there are lessons in it for me to learn. Cultivating strength from rough situations is the most important thing. After going through this, I know I can face anything."

On Working Out With Eddie Cibrian: "We go to the same gym, and sometimes we take group-cycling classes together, but when it comes to weight training, we pretty much do our own thing. He's going to kill me for saying this, but when I ask him to work out with me, he always says no. And when I ask why, he says, 'Because your workouts are too hard.' And he's right: I'm serious about my exercise. I don't just doodle around. I see people at the gym talking on their cell phones. If they think their bodies are really going to change...I mean, you've got to put in the effort!"

In a behind-the-scenes video from the cover shoot Leann says she goes for mac & cheese when she really wants to splurge.
