People often ask me for tips on how to keep themselves motivated enough to commit to a fitness routine. One of my favorite pointers- make fitness fun! It’s extremely common for people to feel overwhelmed and daunted by the idea of implementing a fitness program into their lifestyle. For some people, finding an hour in the day to work out seems impossible when they have a huge workload and tons of responsibilities. For others, the idea of going to a gym filled with people can be scary. While there are many different tips I could give, making fitness fun is definitely at the forefront!
What do I mean by making fitness fun? Well, that will differ from person to person, but essentially what I’m saying is; if sticking to a workout routine is something you find hard- then find a way to incorporate fitness into your life while disguising it as fun! Whether that is getting your friends together for a game of volleyball on the beach, taking your dog for a 2mile walk, signing up for a dance class, or surfing the waves… there are tons of ways to get exercise without having to step foot into a gym!
So BeliEVErs- leave me a comment with your name and how you’re going to make fitness fun! I’m going to select my “Fun Fitness Favorite Five” (say that 10 times in a row haha) and will post them as an update to this blog. We can all learn from each other’s ideas ☺
Check out these pictures of me… just a few ways that I personally make fitness fun- surfing, Gracie Jiu Jitsu, rock climbing, hiking & of course, dance!

Back in early September, I had an inspiring experience with the women from the 267th Security Forces squadron at the McChord Airforce Base. Sexual assault is a devastating problem that occurs worldwide, but the statistics are especially staggering on military bases. I find it extremely encouraging to see the military taking the initiative to help equip their women with the tools to defend themselves not only on the field, but also in their everyday surroundings.
Rener Gracie and I were brought in to teach these women the ten core techniques of the Women Empowered program, as well as principles of awareness and boundary setting to help reduce the risks of ever being put into potentially dangerous situations. This was the first time we had taught all ten of the core techniques in only two days, with just four hours of training each day! Although doubtful at first, all the women became so invested in the course, and with their extreme level of focus, cooperation, and willingness to help each other- the seminar was a complete success!
Every single participant in the course agreed that the material surpassed their expectations of what solutions “self-defense” could offer them. Whitney, a participant in the civilian’s course, and founder of ‘I Tap Boys! Women’s Jiu Jitsu’, wrote “I attended the Women Empowered Seminar in Burien, Wa on September 15th, 2001 led by Rener Gracie and Eve Torres. Having trained in jiu jitsu for over 2 years, I had never taken a formal self defense course and I was curious to see how the Gracie Academy had developed a women’s self defense program based on jiu jitsu concepts. Some of the things I was really impressed by were Rener’s and Eve’s ability to teach both experienced jiu jitsu athletes and beginners. The environment they created was non-threatening and yet very serious which felt appropriate for the subject matter at hand. This seminar really took my jiu jitsu to the next level. I learned how to use the guard position to not hold, control, and submit someone but to escape a worst-case-scenario situation. Some of these techniques I probably never would have learned in my regular jiu jitsu class. I would highly recommend this course to all women regardless of their experience in jiu jitsu”.
Although a ‘combatives’ program is offered to most of the military, some women expressed hesitation to involve themselves in such courses because they often become aggressive fighting grounds for the participants. The Women Empowered program thrives in a cooperative setting and is an effective course that focuses on defending against sexual predators at various stages of an attack.
Just because women are still the minority in the military doesn’t mean they should endure more incidences of sexual assault. Educating both men and women in the military about sexual assault, and offering our female soldiers courses like the Women Empowered self-defense program can reduce the military’s disproportionate numbers.
I was so proud of and inspired by the women I met at McChord Airforce Base. Our military women deserve to feel safe when they retreat to their lives off of the field, and I hope the military continues the initiative to empower the women who play a vital role in defending and protecting our country.

BeliEVErs, as we enter into the Holiday season, let’s be sure not to forget those less fortunate than ourselves. Today I donated to the “Education for Rural Amazon Communities” fundraiser, and I encourage you to do the same! Education and conservation go hand in hand, and by improving education opportunities for rural communities, we can provide the chance for the Amazonian people to develop alternatives for their own sustainable future, and the protection of their land. Education is something that is so important, and I think it’s sometimes taken for granted. I’ve been blessed with an incredible education, and here in the US the resources are made available to us, but for others in rural communities the same cannot be said. My brother Phil, is out in the Amazon at this very moment, working in these communities and is leading this fundraiser with the goal of raising money to go directly into providing environmental education supplies for the local Amazonian schools.
As an added incentive, I’m going to send a signed 8 x 10 picture (see picture), to anyone who donates over $20 to this wonderful cause between now and November 22nd. (For more information on how to receive your signed photo, see below)
Visit http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/education-for-rural-amazon-communities/ and thank you in advance for supporting this worthy cause!
Here are some photo’s of my brother, and the team of environmentalists he’s working with out in the Amazon. To stay up to date with Phil and the work he’s doing, be sure to follow him on Twitter @Phil_Torres, and check out his blog www.TheRevScience.com.
To receive your signed 8×10 photograph:
Please donate a minimum of $20, and send a screen shot of the donation receipt page or scanned image of your check, along with your mailing address, to eve@evetorres.com. Please include the subject “AMAZON” in your email.
Keep BeliEVEing!

BeliEVErs, in honor of Veterans Day (which we celebrated this past Friday), Kelly Kelly, Alicia Fox, and myself partnered with the incredible team of Mission Serve from Service Nation, to honor and give back to the brave service men and women of the National Guard. We put together care packages (which included basics such soap, toiletries, warm clothing, wash cloths etc) which we then distributed to Veterans who have fought for our country overseas, and who now, back in the US are having a tough time finding work. I feel so honored to have had to opportunity to meet and speak to these men and women who have risked their lives to protect our country and our freedom, and I cannot stress enough the importance of giving back. Giving back is something we can all do, and initiatives such as Mission Serve “the ServiceNation’s civilian-military initiative, connecting the civilian and military communities through service and volunteer partnerships” are resources that can help us get involved. For more information on ServiceNation and Mission Serve, please visit their website www.servicenation.org
Today was very special, and I’d like to take a moment to salute the brave heroes of the Armed Forces. Thank you for serving our fine country!

I had the wonderful opportunity of speaking at the 2011 Hispanic Women’s Conference in Phoenix, AZ. In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness month, I spoke on how women can reduce their risks of sexual assault and domestic violence. Although I couldn’t teach every woman there physical techniques, it was indeed a Self-Defense workshop! Self-defense is a mindset, and it includes basic awareness principles and the ability to set verbal, emotional, and physical boundaries for ourselves. This mindset of protecting ourselves should apply whether the attacker is a stranger… or someone in our own home. A couple of brave women even volunteered to learn and demonstrate several self-defense techniques, and proved to everyone in attendance that no matter how impossible any situation may seem, a technique or strategy exists that will enable us to overcome!

Today I participated in the first Be A STAR anti-bullying rally in the Los Angeles community. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Congresswoman Sanchez, Rey Mysterio, Jordin Sparks, Chelsie Hightower, David Arquette, KayCee Stroh, Brittany Snow, and others all were in attendance to show our support for the Be a STAR campaign. Everyone had great insight into the issue, and Jordin Sparks ended the rally with a beautiful cover of “Hero”. We had a great turnout, and all the children in attendance seem to respond extremely well to the message.

I never thought I’d say this, but I recently have become grateful for a body type that, for as long as I can remember, has required a constant effort to achieve the look and feel that I want. Why am I now thankful for the DNA that I used to curse at? Now that I have reached my mid twenties, I am witnessing a change in the lives of my “effortlessly skinny” friends. Many of them have reached a point where their once turbo-speed metabolisms have begun to slow, and their superpower to eat whatever they want, not exercise, and stay thin is no longer theirs. Unfortunately, it is bound to happen to everyone, and it will only continue to slow as we continue to age.

I have heard from a lot of people alerting me that ‘Eve stole your standing moonsault’. Here is my perspective…Eve is a shady thief…I’m totally kidding. Eve is a wonderful person, a good friend, and one of the people I miss the most from WWE. But seriously, hundreds of wrestlers have come and gone through the major wrestling organizations. If every move they used became off limits, there would be nothing left to do. The way I learned it, there is a certain code of honor where if you ‘borrow’ someone’s move, you in some way change it and make it your own, which Eve did.

WWE Divas Champion!
4/12/2010 - London, England
I am still on a high! This feeling is indescribable. Who would have thought, 3 years ago when I was just interviewing for the WWE Diva Search, that I would hold the WWE Divas Championship in my hands tonight. In some eyes, I may still be considered a rookie to the Divas division, but I have had my eye on the title since I was interviewing champions backstage. Tonight, I realized how far believing in yourself, working hard, training hard, and most importantly, acting with respect and integrity can take you in life. I would not be able to call myself Divas Champion if I hadn’t taken the opportunity to learn from the best. When you respect your teammates, coworkers, teachers, or superiors, which in my case, happens to be other WWE Superstars, and even my opponents, they will respect you... and want to help you succeed. No one gets anywhere in life on their own, and without the guidance of those with more experience than you. But beyond the help and advice of others, I also respected and believed in myself. I knew in my heart that if I worked and trained hard enough, and continued to believe in my own potential, that this opportunity would eventually present itself. And here I stand, Divas Champion!!
And truthfully, I feel that now is only the beginning! The hard work and discipline gets turned up ten notches, because now that I have won the title, I have to keep it! I have to defend it, and bring honor and pride to the WWE Divas Championship every time I do. So the training continues, and the matches and opponents will continue to get harder, but I am definitely up for the challenge. I have a feeling that Maryse may be a little upset ;-) so I am sure the heat will be turned up with every encounter.
Thank you WWE Universe for being a BeliEVEr!
‘BeliEVErs’ aren’t just those who believed in me, ‘believers’ are those who trust that they too can achieve any and everything by working hard, being kind and respectful to others, and truly believing in their dreams.

My thoughts on the Diva Trade
Hello BeliEVErs!
It's official... as of this Monday night, I am now a Raw Diva! I would be lying if I said that I wasn't COMPLETELY shocked when I found out I was being traded to Monday Night Raw. I would also be lying if I said there wasn't a little part of me that was sad to be leaving my SmackDown friends, Cryme Tyme, Maria, and the rest of the "Blue Team". I even enjoyed my exchanges with Layla's feisty little self. Also, on SmackDown, I was lucky to be able to compete against two of the strongest women wrestlers in the WWE: Michelle McCool, and Natalya. Competing against women like them taught me what being an in-ring competitor is, and forced me to bring my A game at all times.
Now, I am ready to take what I learned from SmackDown to my new home on Monday nights! I am excited for the new challenges that await, and hopefully, the fun times as well! Hanging out with Snoop Dogg (and Hornswoggle) on my first night on Raw was a fun way to get broken in to my new home ;-) As I love competing in the ring more and more, I can only hope that there will be more opportunities, and Diva's Championship title shots that await in the future. I am definitely proud to be an addition to the Raw women's division.
As always, thanks for your support!!
Eve
