Until not long ago, it was Madonna who was most often cited as the worst example of what obsessive working out can do to a woman’s arms, especially if she has zero body fat. As of late, it’s Sarah Jessica Parker who’s making headlines like “SJP and the Hand of Death” possible, all due to her reportedly being now a size 0 who lives for the gym, as the Daily Mail puts it.

Reports are also coming in from other British tabloids, with most of them saying that, in light of the upcoming release of her latest film, the much-hyped “SATC 2,” and in a bid to look her best for the promo appearances she’ll have to put it, Sarah Jessica Parker developed what could best be termed a “gym obsession.” Her weight is down and, despite the fact that she’s almost skin and bone, she’s bent of pumping her muscles – and it shows, the Mail says.

“Balancing work with caring for her ten-month-old twins and seven-year-old son, it’s no surprise the strain is starting to show on Sarah Jessica Parker. Stepping out in New York last week, it appeared the actress was looking skinnier than ever amid reports she has lost a stone and dropped two dress sizes in recent months. The 45-year-old’s usually toned arms were replaced by sinewy arms and bulging veins as she walked her son James Wilkie to school. Despite her busy lifestyle, friends of the star are claiming she has become ‘obsessed’ with dieting and gym, leading her to drop even more pounds,” the Mail writes, citing ongoing reports.

“She’s always been health conscious, but this is a whole new level. She’s worried she’s looking old and feels she needs to up her workout regime to stay healthy, but it’s as though she’s become obsessed. It’s normal for her to be at the gym for two hours every day as well as going for five-mile runs – and she’s eating as leanly as humanly possible,” an unnamed source, admittedly a close friend of the actress, also says.

Apparently, Parker, who’s always been on the lean side, is now a size 0, which means she’s as thin as Victoria Beckham and even catwalk models. Regardless of whether that’s accurate or not, the results of her grueling workouts and her losing a few pounds were clearly visible in the photos taken last week, as the star unveiled a pair of arms so muscular even Madonna herself would be jealous.
