8 Celebrity Fitness Secrets You Should Actually Follow
By Crazy Legs on Jun 14, 2009 with Comments 6

Today’s media has put a lot of emphasis on health and so called “sexy bodies.” It seems that the Hollywood celebrities are able to get a hold of the latest workouts and exercises; which leaves the rest of us in the dark.
Well, I have researched a few secrets that the “celebs” take advantage of. Below is a list of the featured celebrity fitness training tips.
1. Hit the road – Secret one is all about hitting the road. Penelope Cruz takes advantage of the open road for her fitness needs rather than being cooped up inside the gym.
2. Stability ball training – Secret two comes from Jessica Simpson and the almighty stability ball. She performs ball squats and ball crunches on a no
rmal basis to help tone her legs and stomach.
3. Dance – Celebrity fitness secret number three comes to you from “Dancing With The Stars.” Several of today’s celebrities enjoy getting out and tearing up the dance floor. Dancing is a great exercise for the body and enjoyable as well.
4. Sp orts – Secret four, par four, celebrity Catherine Zeta-Jones secret is that she enjoys a round of golf to fulfill her fitness needs. Walking a round of golf is not only fun and relaxing, but burns a couple hundred calories per hour as well.
5. Cross-training/Race preparation – Artist Sheryl Crow uses a cross-training theory to train her body. She mixes her cardio workouts between jogging and biking while training for a hundred mile bike ride.
6. Resistance bands – Secret six is brought to you from Julie Roberts, whom performs several exercises and movements with resistance bands. Bands offer a great resistance workout that you can do at home, on the road, or at the gym.
7. Charity events – Charity races are often at the top of most celebrities to-do lists and celebrity Meredith Vieira participates regularly to raise money for cancer and mental health charities.
8. Drink plenty of fluids and try new things – Secret eight consists of drinking fluids and trying new things. Celebrity Naomi Watts does Pilates and intakes plenty of water throughout the day to help keep her body hydrated and in tip-top shape.

Good post. Most celebrities are in really good shape and those seem like some great ways to mix things up and stay in shape. It’s interesting that those 8 things too could be fun to do and are not the typical ways to stay in shape.
I am the same age as Julia Roberts, what I would give to look like that. Maybe I should try all of the above. Great tips!
I am so not into the whole celebrity thing but these are good tips -
