Celebrity Hottie Body: A How To Guide

Jennifer Aniston was the only actress over 30 to make Men's Health list of Best Summer Bodies for 2010. So how did this 41-year-old get a body that rivals that of a taut 20-something Victoria's Secret model?

I turned to Bally Total Fitness top trainer Seven Boggs (the one who revamped Britney Spears' bod for her Circus tour) to get the low-down on what moves the celebrities do to score such sexy assets.

Here's a top secret guide to getting a body straight out of the pages of US Weekly from the expert herself:

If you want beautiful legs like Jennifer Aniston…

Back lunges with a knee lift/extension:

Stand next to a chair or pole and hold for balance. Take a large step back with your left leg, bending into a 90 degree angle. Next lift and bring the left knee up toward your chest. From the chest position, extend your left leg back fully extended behind you, holding your foot up to hip level and flexing your glutes. Then bring your knee back up to chest, lunge back, and repeat. (10 reps, 3 to 4 sets per leg)

"When doing this movement, it is vitally important that you do not allow the front knee to pass the front toe at any time," says Seven. "Make sure the knee is aligned with your ankle to ensure there’s no stress to the knee joint."


If you want smooth, flat, sexy abs like Hayden Panettiere…

The Swivel:

Lie flat on your back. Lift your legs with your knees bent to your chest. Place your hands flat on the floor next to your glutes. Slowly start moving your knees toward the outside of your right hip, then out away from your chest, the then toward the outside of the left hip, and back to your chest. Keep doing this circular movement slow and steady, and each time try taking the knees further away from the midline of your body. (20 reps, 3 sets on each side)

"The bigger the circle, the more the entire core has to work," says Seven.

Tick Tocks:

Lie on your back and raise your legs fully extended up toward the ceiling. With your legs extended the entire time, bring both feet to the right side to tap your feet on the floor. Lift your legs together back up to your starting position and repeat. (10-15 reps, 3 sets)

"This exercise is slow and precise so really concentrate on how perfectly together you can keep your legs throughout the duration of these movements," says Seven.


If you want tight toned arms like Kelly Ripa or Sarah Jessica Parker…

Start by holding 5 to 8 pound dumbbells in each hand. Hold the dumbbells with your palm facing your thighs. Bend your arms, keeping your elbows pinned to your sides and bring the dumbbells to tap the front of your shoulders. Keep the same hand position for the entire duration of these moves. From the front of the shoulder position raise the dumbbells up above your head, with arms fully extended (do not lock your elbows). From the extended position, bring the dumbbells back to the front of the shoulders, then back down to your sides, and then hyper extend the elbows back – this causes your triceps muscle to contract. Once you contract the triceps muscle, hold for a 3 second count, and then bend your arms to bring the dumbbells back to the front of shoulder and repeat. (15-20 reps, 4 sets)

"The secret is in working out the shoulders along with the biceps and triceps," says Seven. "This is one of my favorite time-saving exercises, designed to target all three of those muscle groups fast."

If you want a chiseled chest and ripped abs like Bradley Cooper…

Plank Position with a Knee to Elbow Reach:

Lay flat on your stomach. Push up to a plank position. Hold that position and bring your right knee to tap your right elbow, making sure to bend from your waist as much as you can, think of a side crunch. Alternate with the left knee to the left elbow. Do one bend to the right, one bend to the left, then do a full push up and repeat. Do as many as you can till you burn out but aim for 20 at least. (4 sets minimum)

"This is a great exercise to build your chest along with narrowing and shredding your waist," says Seven.


One leg V-ups:

Lie flat on your back. Extend your right arm up above your head with the back of your hand on the floor. Raise your left leg up and simultaneously raise your right arm and reach for your toes, raising your back up off the floor. Take your leg back down and your right arm back to your starting position and repeat. Do not allow your foot or your hands to touch the floor when you are doing this movement. If you can try it with both legs at the same time (10-15 reps each)

"Guys - you’ll be shredded in no time," says Seven.

Try these moves and even if you can't afford a celebrity wardrobe, you'll still look like a million bucks! Thanks Seven :)
