If you want to know who is one of the most asked about celebrities online-above Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Aniston-just google Ariana Grande.

The adorable actress, singer, and dancer stars as Cat Valentine on the oh-so-popular Nickelodeon show Victorious and her first single "Put Your Hearts Up" recently had a huge debut on the pop charts. And oh yeah…she also has more than 1.2 million Twitter followers, to boot.

At just 18 years old, the talented starlet is taking Hollywood-and the Internet-by storm. But through all this fame, we love that she has such a healthy attitude when it comes to her body image and all things fitness.

"Too many young girls have eating disorders due to low self-esteem and a distorted body image," she says. "I think it's so important for girls to love themselves and to treat their bodies respectfully."

Eating well, working out, and loving herself every step of the way is what makes her a great example for our daughters, too! That's why we were excited when the beautiful, down-to-earth young lady shared with us 10 fun fitness secrets. Read on for more!
