Check monthy for the latest in tips and workout routines to motivate us all.

Katherine Heigl Workout

When Katherine Heigl is getting ready to film a movie, she does cardio and circuit-training sessions of 25 to 50 minutes, up to five times a week for six weeks prior to shooting. On-set, she jumps rope or lift dumbbells outside her trailer. All the while eating meals high in protein and fiber. This is a great routine with light weights from the Skinny Jeans Workout that you can do at home to look great in your tank top! Warm up for at least ten minutes by jumping rope. If you can't jump rope, hike or run. Plie Squat with side lateral raise: Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes in turned-out position: holding a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing inward. Keeping knees aligned over toes, lower hips as far as possible in a plie without tucking tailbone under or arching back; simultaneously raising dumbbells out to parallel to the floor. Bring weights back in to straighten legs without locking knee or elbow joint. Repeat for telve to twenty reps.

Jennifer Garner Workout

After having her second child, Jennifer Garner got her body back by doing two-minute running intervals followed by strength exercises—including lunges and single-leg squats for her lower body. To sculpt her arms, Garner does bicep curls using 5- to 15-lb. weights. I've achieved amazing results with my postpartum clients by doing this routine from the DVD:

Split squat with biceps curl into overhead press:
Stand holding dumbbells with arms at side, feet hip-width apart. Lunge forward with right leg, bending both knees 90 degrees (don't let right knee go past ankle.) Straighten legs while bringing hands towards shoulder with palms facing inward (bicep curl,) then extend arms toward ceiling, rotating palms facing outward (to shoulder press) Return to start, bring right foot back towards left foot, and arms down to sides. Do one set of ten reps. Switch sides and repeat.

Jennifer Aniston Workout

The most toned triceps in Hollywood clearly belong to Jennifer Aniston. To achieve great results with my clients, I do this routine, pulled from the Skinny Jeans Workout DVD:

Tricep dips: Sit on a bench or sturdy chair, hands gripping the front edge next to your hips with fingers facing forward. Place your heels on th floor with legs straight out in front of you. Extend your arms and shift your hips slightly forward. Without hunching shoulders, bend elbows and lower hips toward the floor. Press up and repeat.

Hillary Swank and Cameron Diaz Workout

Hillary Swank and Cameron Diaz always look so flawless in those backless gowns. To strengthen mid back and rear shoulders, this is an amazing workout, pulled from the DVD:

Bent-over seated rear fly: Sit on edge of a chair or bench, kees bent, feet flat on ground. Holding dumbbells, palms facing in, with slight arc to elbows, hinge forward from hips and hovering torso over thigh letting arms hang outside feet. Squeeze upper back muscles as you lift arms out and up to shoulder height, wrists straight. Lower and repeat.

Megan Fox Workout

Megan Fox works hard to keep the most amazing bikini body in top shape! The actress spends 30 minutes of her workout doing cardio exercises that flatten and tone her abs. She begins with some warm-up movements like butterfly crunch or front planks and then she gets down to business with knee-ups, leg swings and ball leg lifts. These are meant to work on the upper part of her body. The exercise my clients have gotten amazing results from is a simple plank hold, from the Skinny Jeans Workout DVD:

Plank Hold:
Stand tall with feet together, legs straight. Inhale and scoop your belly in, then exhale, drawing chin to chest as you roll down to a forward bend, reaching hands toward floor and lengthening spine. When hands touch floor, walk hands forward until wrists are under shoulders, arms straight, and you are balanced on the balls of feet in plank position. Hold it at first for 30 seconds, working your way up to holding it for sixty seconds.
