Col. Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie on CBS's <I>JAG</I>, Catherine Bell aspired, she says, to kick big-screen butt in action movies. And so about 10 years ago she wandered into a Tae-Bo studio. "In the first class I had to take a lot of breaks," she recalls, "because I would start to hyperventilate." Still, the high-energy combination of aerobics, boxing and tae kwon do had Bell hooked. "I liked that it was challenging," she says. "It made me want to be in better shape." </div> <bR> <div> Mission accomplished. Bell, 33, "has become an athlete," says Billy Blanks, her trainer and Tae-Bo's creator. "She can do amazing kicks and punches, and she does weights very easily too." Equally impressive are Bell's eating habits. "I try to eat well 80 to 90 percent of the time," she says. Breakfast is often an egg-white omelet, while lean proteins and whole grains such as oatmeal and brown rice are staples. For Bell, a former runway model in Japan, a cheeseless pepperoni-and-sausage pizza counts as a splurge. (She's allergic to dairy.) "And I usually have half a cookie or a couple of bite-size Snickers every day," she says. "I leave room for fun." </div> <bR> <div> Bell, who shares a contemporary home in Malibu Hills, Calif., with her husband, actor Adam Beason, 32, pushes herself even harder when <I>JAG</I> is on hiatus, adding mountain biking and hiking to her routine. "I have to do it," she says, "for health and energy." </div> <bR> <div> <B>This article was found a</B><B>t </B><A HREF="http://people.aol.com/people/special/0,11859,238079,00.html " TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://people.aol.com/people/special/0,1"><U><B>http://people.aol.com/people/special/0,11859,238079,00.html</B></U></A><A HREF="http://people.aol.com/people/special/0,11859,238079,00.html " TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://people.aol.com/people/special/0,1"><U><B> </B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> [THE END]</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
