Every couple of months we get to see the top
celebrities wear their expensive tuxedos and dresses from all of the
world's top designers, but what really catch our eyes is how sexy
they look and how much we would die to have a body just like theirs.
Let me be the first one to say that it's not impossible to have a
body just like your favorite celebrity but there are some things you
ought to know if that is your plan.
Celebrities have a lot of stress when it comes to looking great,
especially when you know that hundreds of cameras are going to be
taking pictures of you from every possible angle. The pressure to
look great is actually a key component to why they look good in the
first place.
While pressure can very well create stress which will help to
increase your cortisol (fat-adding hormone), it actually forces them
to work with specific goals in mind to get the bodies they are
looking for. That is the number one secret behind a celebrity's
body. They have a specific goal and a specific deadline to
accomplishing this goal. So step one to getting a body worthy of the
limelight is to set a realistic goal and have a realistic deadline
for reaching that goal.
Secondly, they make time to get their workout in, no excuses. It is
not so much they have the time to actually do it, but they focus on
workouts that give them the best bang for their buck. Many
celebrities are extremely busy believe it or not with 16 hour work
shifts and they must get their 8 hours of sleep just to look fresh
to do it all over again. If they have 30 minutes to work out, they
do as much work in that 30 minutes that they can, again making no
excuses as to why they cannot get it done. Remember you have a goal
to meet and a deadline to meet it by.
Lastly, they eat like rabbits. By this I don't mean just eating one
cracker and call it a day. By that I mean they eat frequently but
small portions. Spreading out your meals will help you increase the
amount of calories you are burning. The key to looking firm and
toned is to have your body burning as many calories as you can and
this is definitely an easy way of doing just that.
Here are some tips as far as making the most of your
workout time:
� Lift moderate to heavy weights with short rest between sets.
� Perform Interval Cardio (Alternating between high intensity cardio
and low intensity cardio. For example, running at 8.0 for 1 minute
and then jogging at 4.0 for 2 minutes and repeating it again for 4
to 6 rounds.)
� Select exercises that work a lot of muscle at once. (Squats,
Pushups, Lunges, Seated Rows, Pull-ups, etc.)
With those take away tips and some of the celebrities top secrets to
an A-list body, hit the gym hard, maintain your discipline at the
lunch table and enjoy your new hot red carpet look.
