Gwyneth Paltrow takes the weight off and is really looking Iron Man ready. I have always loved Gwyneth, I met her when she had just started dating Brad Pitt and she was super skinny... I could see all of her bones and I frigging loved it.
As a fashion model I was always around thin people, but Gwyneth's body was ultra lean in a different way then the super models I was always around. Anyway, as some of you know she has 2 children and like most women it is hard to take off that baby weight....
What did Gwyneth do??
First off as a celebrity you have to get into shape and get there fast... Female celebrities and supermodels are hailed as the standard of beauty and fitness. Their svelte figures and radiant energy can make you blanch, even on your most confident of days. Did you know that having an A-list body is not reserved for celebrities only? Here are the latest fitness trends and superstar secrets that you, too, can do to get fit!
First off Visualization....mind-body integration. Celebs are doing a combination of yoga, Pilates, and cardio training and big time visualization!!! These modalities work because they are the healthy way of getting fit and getting it done right...Sasha Cohen, US Olympic Silver Medalist in ice skating does an extremely advanced stretching routine that helps improve her balance, keeps her insanely flexible and injury free and visualizes her routines!!
In addition, stars are looking for workouts that work for them -- mentally and physically -- and are enjoyable. Music is a big motivator because it involves body and mind.... Getting in tune as you get fit offers other mental benefits as well...
The biggest celebrity fitness secret, is the hard work and hours needed to get to that point of physical fitness and having control to stay there... I have many celebrity clients who use BS and BSP and workout for 5-6 hours a day... that is hard work and control = dedication= super skinny and in shape bodies!!
And according to Dixon, "When they are getting ready for a photo shoot or a film, they will regularly do two-a- day workouts and really cut down their calories." There are no shortcuts or quick-fixes in this business -- long- term success means a solid commitment to staying in tip-top shape... I of course agree 100%!
What are the Celebrity Diets??? My celebrity clients who have the best bodies are the ones who consistently workout and eat healthy. Most of my clients have a diet that consists of a recommendation of 60% favorable carbs (fruits, vegetables and whole grains), 20% lean protein and 20% healthy fats.
A fit body requires a commitment to long-term healthy eating as well as sensible diet modifications when necessary.... You must commit to being thin for life. Looking good takes a lot of work and dedication to a nutritious diet plan and continuous exercise plan... When stars need to get fit for a role, their diets reflect their goals. A high-protein diet that is low in simple sugars is an efficient way to drop weight...
However, some celebs will go to extremes....Cleanses are very popular right now and extreme calorie restriction.
In addition, some celebrities follow specific diet plans.... Macrobiotic, raw food and vegan diets have gained tremendous popularity in the past ten years. And I have followed these trends carefully...Followers of these diets include Madonna, Demi Moore. Gwyneth Paltrow used to follow a strict macrobiotic diet, but gave it up when they became pregnant ....These diets all can be effective, as they are based on plant-based protein and whole grains, which will improve overall nutrition and health ....
Tips to get fit like a celebrity... You don’t have to be a celebrity to get an A-list body and many of my clients have better bodies than my celebrity clients... The truth is, almost all celebrities have personal trainers and nutritionists to help them achieve their fantastic, paparazzi-ready bodies. But their nutrition and exercise routines are often not as difficult as you’d think to emulate... The key is to stop wanting a star physique and actually do something to get it.

1. Get moving and stay challenged. Celebrities that stay fit have discipline in sticking with their fitness regime, just as non-celebrities with awesome bodies.... They are working out four to five days a week -- cardio and weights -- with routines changing weekly so their bodies are constantly challenged, preventing muscles from adapting to the same routines. That means exercising most days of the week at a level that is challenging and not falling into a one-exercise rut.
2. Do full-body workouts. Functional full-body fitness works for a reason -- it involves all of your muscles working together so you burn more calories and more fat as well as build strength and tone. Healthy stars are seen participating in combo strength-training and cardio-conditioning workouts -- getting it all done in less time -- as an effective way to train. And don’t forget your fitness tools -- such as the bender ball fitness balls and balance boards -- they can help you work every muscle in your body and give you that core strength so important for a tight torso and enviable posture.
3. Use your mind and body I can't stress Visualization enough!!! Instead of zoning out on a treadmill or not working out at all, integrate fitness modalities that are mentally stimulating and enjoyable for you. Try yoga or Pilates or do something different, like a group fitness class. Yoga is a great way to sculpt and strengthen, and it also has internal benefits such as metabolism regulation, circulatory benefits and stress relief.... And for those seeking fun fitness, Strip-dancing and pole-dancing workouts are great for sculpting and cardio and you can really visualize your perfect body in the mirror on the pole. You can find classes at local dance studios and gyms. These workouts can also help you feel more confident in your body, which is never a bad thing... Walk and visualize bring the positive energies to you.
4. Focus on fruits, vegetables and proteins. Extreme dieting may help you quickly lose weight but only a healthy, realistic diet is going to keep the weight off. Instead of low-calorie plans or cutting out complete food groups, simply focus your diet on more fresh fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. Stay away from foods that rob you of energy. Focus on unprocessed foods that are full of life because they will, in turn, give you life... And when it comes to losing weight ‘fiber and protein at every meal, makes losing weight no big deal.' Focus on high fiber and lean protein and you can achieve similar results without going to extremes.... It may take longer to lose weight but it increases your chances of keeping it off.
5. Commit, commit, commit. You will not achieve a superstar's type of body, unless you dedicate time to working out and eating accordingly. It is true that celebrities have more resources and a career motivation to stay fit but, by and large, it is their commitment to exercise and diet that affords them their awesome physiques.
