The Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels has been vocal about her own struggle with obesity, so it was great to see her on the May 2011 cover of SHAPE looking so fit and healthy.

Angie Harmon

Although our December 2010 cover model Angie Harmon raised some eyebrows when she said she "didn't go to the gym," her active lifestyle earned her a spot on our list. While she may dislike the gym, Harmon stays fit by swimming, hiking, and regularly getting outdoors with her kids.

Marisa Miller is one fit lady! In fact, we've put her on our cover six times. What can we say? The swimsuit model and surfer makes healthy eating and exercise a daily part of her life.

Danica Patrick

You might think that at 5'2 and 105 pounds, Danica Patrick would be at a racing advantage compared to the rest of her competitors, who are mostly bigger men. Instead, she says, she has to work harder to control the speed of her car, which means that working out and strengthening her upper body are essential.

Although Patrick just retired from her racing career, we don't think she'll be giving up her healthy lifestyle any time soon!
