Celebrity Workouts - How Stars Get In Shape!
Mon, 22 Jan 2007 20:38:44 | Rate news: +0
Do you drool over Usher's abs? Wanna know how Madonna keeps that bod lookin' great? Unfortunately, talent isn't the only thing that makes you go far in the biz - lookin' good is a huge deal. Many stars adopt a hardcore fitness routine to ready themselves for a movie role. Get the scoop on how some of your fave celebs keep in shape!

Usher

This boy is a walking visual for the expression "washboard abs!" Usher is so defined that he looks like he's never even tasted a Big Mac. How does Usher do it? His way, of course. Usher's been workin' on his abs since he was 16, but claims that it's all because of good genes (not jeans... although he does look great in them), hard work and being disciplined - oh yeah, and 1,000 crunches a day. Usher also has a daily routine he calls "forty minutes of funk" which includes stretchin', skippin' and jumping jacks. Then he moves onto push-ups, leg raises and tricep dips. Holy... can you say fitness freak! Usher watches what he eats too by munchin' on foods like chicken, fish, a moderate amount of carbohydrates (rice, pasta, potatoes etc.) and lots of fruits and leafy veggies.

Jessica Simpson

Singer Jessica Simpson started a new exercise routine to get in shape for her role as Daisy Duke in the upcoming Dukes of Hazard movie. Her workout includes two hours a day of squats and lunges and has motivated her to create a new workout video. "I have a white-girl bootie, so I'm doing all my squats to lift it a little bit and get some junk in my trunk," says Jessica. While Jessica may have a bit more junk in her trunk, she's still dealing with a lot of fluff between her ears.

Gwyneth Paltrow

How does Gwyneth Paltrow keep her lean look? Gwyneth practices yoga for 90 minutes a day. She's also adopted a special macrobiotic diet, which is made up of whole grains, soup, veggies, beans and sea vegetables.

Madonna

Madonna has always been in good shape but over the past few years she's become a total fitness guru! Madonna has adopted a strict routine of Ashtanga Yoga, which keeps her in shape from head to toe. She also follows a strict healthy diet and barely touches junk food.

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie had to do a ton of physical preparation for the role of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider. Angelina was on a strict, heavy protein diet of meat and fish like sardines (yuck)! Angelina learned kickboxing and practiced it regularly. She also learned bungee ballet, scuba diving and weapons training, months before the flick started filming. This was required in order to play the video game superhero but it also helped buff her up.

- Lots of stars use a personal trainer to keep in shape. Most of us regular peeps don't have trainers but we can do other stuff to stay healthy.
