Celebrity Workouts from Tracy Anderson

Yes, I do train celebrities. But the truth is, women like J.Lo and Sienna are no different from you or me. We're all trying to be the healthiest version of ourselves, and that starts with connecting to our bodies. Just as every woman's shape and muscle tone are unique, so is her ideal routine. A move can work magic on one body and do less for someone else's. But what we have in common is that we can choose to do one hour of exercise six days a week. That, along with eating well, is the real secret the fittest women in Hollywood know.

Say no to juice cleanses

Look, I love fresh organic juices. I drink them myself. (My favorite is a blend of kale, watermelon, cucumber and blueberry.) But I have them in addition to my meals, and I don't use them as a way to lose weight. Sure, juice cleanses will help you shed a few pounds, but just temporarily. Trying to live off of only juice will crash your metabolic rate, which works against weight loss. And once you start eating again, you'll put those pounds back on as quickly as you took them off.

Can you really overexercise?

Absolutely. It's not healthy to work to exhaustion in the hopes of burning a few more calories. Your muscles become taxed and begin to break down, which can lead to injury. So find a challenging activity level you can sustain, and stick with it.

Blockbuster moves

These exercises pack a ton of toning! Start with the Gwyneth sculptors, then do the ones that help keep J.Lo firm and fit. Tack them onto your current routine for a more sculpted body. Just don't skip out on your 30 to 60 minutes of cardio.

Toss-back triceps

In one fluid motion, raise right arm out to side (B), then toss arm behind head so that elbow is by ear and weight is behind back (C). Return to start. Repeat 30 times, then switch sides.
