Alicia Minshew has good fitness in her genes"No. 1, I was raised with it. My mom is a Pilates instructor today in her 60s in Stuart. Exercise makes me feel good and centered, makes me feel healthy. Exercise is a way to relieve stress and feel good. And being a woman, you want to keep your butt tight, arms lean. You want to look good.
"As I got older, [I realized] the health reasons: to maintain a healthy heart. My grandmother in Stuart is 100 years old and she does her recumbent bike every day.
"I've always been a skinny kid; I remember my mom giving me milkshakes [to gain weight]. I still struggle to keep weight on. I do weight training to give muscle on top of my small frame, so I don't look too skinny and unhealthy."

“I've had only a very small handful of actual recognitions, but I was getting my motorcycle worked on at this super roughneck spot here in L.A., you know with all these total greased-up, grease-ball, tatted-up, facial tattoo mechanics,” he told E!
“I'm wheeling my bike outta there and this guy comes up to me and he's like, ‘Hey man, nice job on Hart of Dixie.’ The fact that that was one of about three recognitions I've had on the show is telling, I guess. I don't know who exactly watches Hart of Dixie, but it surprises even me,” Bethel said.
I do love Alicia Minshew, Catherine Hickland, & Jeffrey Carlson!
