Lauren Graham covers October 2011 Issue of Self magazine. The 44-year-old Parenthood star Lauren Graham is looking healthy and lovely on mag’s cover wearing a white button up showing off her toned legs.

In this latest issue, Lauren challenged herself to train like an athlete in five weeks:

“When SELF invited me to be on the cover, I told the editors I wanted to try training like an athlete. Good news: They loved the idea and said they had the perfect trainer for me. Bad news: I had only five weeks until the cover shoot, during which I’d be traveling a lot. I panicked.

I’ve learned a lot from trainers over the years, but mainly that you need discipline to stay in the gym. So I wasn’t expecting anything revolutionary. I was in for a surprise. Michelle Lovitt is inspiringly fit and educated in how the body responds to exercise. A few sessions with her and I started using words like glycogen.

Michelle taught me to use a heart-rate monitor to be sure I’m exercising in my fat-burning range. My goal is to burn 3,500 calories a week, which equals 1 pound of body fat. She claims I’ll notice a difference in five weeks.”

By week 5…

“Would you believe that my sense of accomplishment was as nice as the compliments I got at my SELF shoot? It’s true. I was leaner, which made posing in only a men’s shirt seem like a grand idea.”
