FORGETTING to keep up with the Joneses – Spencer Pratt is just trying to follow in his wife Heidi Montag’s footsteps.
After Heidi got a head start on her sculpted summer body and lost 50 pounds, Spencer told The US Sun it was her turn to turn heads on the beach.

MAKING HYDROXICUT
Heidi, former star of MTV’s The Hills, began her transformation when she became the face of supplement brand Hydroxycut.
And Spencer decided to turn his fruitful results into a family affair.
“My goal is a six-pack, which means I’ll be in good shape,” Spencer told The US Sun.
“I feel like with [Hydroxycut] and how much she trained and her diet, I noticed the extra boost of energy she was getting,” he added.

“I drink a lot of coffee and it wasn’t giving me the boost that she was getting.
“I thought, obviously it’s not just caffeine, and everything they have in these formulas gives her more energy than me drinking six espressos.”
SLIMMER FOR LONGER
Although Heidi had ten surgeries in one day in 2010 at just 23, the now 37-year-old didn’t have to go under the knife to achieve her beach body.
Spencer knew his wife was winning by looking — and feeling — her best, and he just wanted to catch up.
“She’s capable of working out and being a mom, and I said, ‘I need to follow Heidi’s example and get into this program,’” he said.
The former reality star is now the newest face of Hydroxycut itself.
And this time, he’s doing things his way.
“I’m doing a more hardcore version of what Heidi did in the original, so I’m even more excited now,” he said.
“I can actually gain weight in the sense of muscle weight, so I won’t step on the scale,” he added.
“That’s why I like working with a product and not the medications people use to lose weight.”
When it comes to getting leaner, Spencer is ready for the long haul.
“This is something I can maintain when I’m in shape,” he said.

“I have friends I know who have taken weight loss medication and it doesn’t work because they are still hungry,” he added.
“I’d rather make something that contains vitamins and is healthier than something pharmaceutical.”
And Heidi was on the same page as her husband when it came to losing weight.
“It’s more long term — sometimes the weight isn’t equivalent to the look you want,” she said.
“For me, I was overweight, but I also gained muscle, so it just depends on the person.”
Spencer referred to his wife’s arms as “tanks.”

A MATTER OF FAMILY ADJUSTMENT
The couple, who also told The US Sun they share a skin-care routine, think the best thing about going on a healthy journey is that they can do it together.
“It gave me the energy I needed to get through the day – it allowed me to do more and exercise and make healthier choices with my eating,” she said.
“It’s always nice to do this as a family,” she added.
Spencer shared how his oldest son, Gunner, is having fun with fitness.
“He wants to go to the gym with us, so it’s great to demonstrate that to the kids too,” he said.

During her 12-week weight loss journey, Heidi used the Hydroxcut Original formula, which is made up of vitamins B and D, as well as apple cider vinegar.
For her own fitness plan, Spencer is more of a fan of the brand’s Hardcore version, aimed at those looking for “extra focus” and more “intensity.”
EXERCISES WHERE AND WHERE
The pair, who say their lives have gotten busier since becoming parents, have learned to exercise whenever – and wherever – they can.
Heidi, who explained that she is constantly carrying strollers and bags, tries to find creative ways to exercise.
“I feel like being a mom on the go is a lot of work, so I try to incorporate squats, pushups, whatever I can do,” she said.
Spencer even brings kettlebells to his oldest son’s soccer practice.

“I was doing lunges across the field or air squats. I carried small weights,” he said.
“You can also go for walks and it doesn’t feel like a workout,” he added.
“We do a lot of hiking.”
Although they also have a home gym, it’s too cramped for the two to work on their summer bodies together.
I lost 50 pounds and felt really good at that weight and with the exercise, and that was a very healthy amount for me.

“It’s not like a JLo gym, it’s a garage,” Spencer joked.
“The car goes in there too, so you have to take the weights off,” Heidi chimed in.
LOSE WEIGHT, GAIN CONFIDENCE
Heidi said she doesn’t think there is a one-size-fits-all program to get hijacked in time for summer.

“I lost 10 pounds and felt really good at that weight and with the exercise, and that was a really healthy amount for me,” she added.
“I wouldn’t recommend a certain amount to anyone. It’s definitely a catalyst and helps you achieve that goal.”
SAFER YARN
To maintain her signature blonde locks, Heidi also shared how she keeps her strands safe from damage.
“My biggest hair tip is just don’t use too much heat on your hair,” she said.
“Not to wrap it too much, not to use it too much, so that’s what I try to do,” he added.
“I have a flare-up once a week, maybe twice, but other than that, I just let it be.”
