Kirstie Alley: Running On a Treadmill ‘Would Make Me Slit My Throat’

Kristie Alley, who’s redefined dress sizes to become a size 6, says the hardest part about losing 100 lbs. is keeping it off. She goes on to say that running on a treadmill every day would make her slit her throat so she’s devised a better routine. One that would allow her to relive her past glory as a Dancing With the Stars contestant.

“I dance almost every day,” says Alley, adding that her own run on the show “gave me something that I can do every day that I actually love that doesn’t feel like a hardship or a grind. Come on, getting on a treadmill every day would make me slit my throat.”

And she’s got her former dancing partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy to thank for keeping her exercise tedium at bay.

“To warm up, I do the cha cha that Maks and I did,” she says, adding that her current dance teacher does ballroom fitness with her, which “kicks your ass, it’s crazy.”

To supplement her dancing, Alley uses a weight loss product called Rescue Me that she also promotes. Thanks to it, she says, “I probably have more energy than I’ve ever had in my life.” PEOPLE

I’m sure sucking down cigarettes doesn’t help motivate her to jump on a treadmill either. The hacking and wheezing you’d hear after a minute on speed 3 would be horrendous. The only way she could power through is if you attached an ice cream cone to a stick.
