Fitness Secrets of the Hollywood Stars

Ever wonder how Hollywood movie stars and top celebrities stay in such great shape year round? For most of them, it involves a lot more than just following some "celebrity" fad diet. Here's a list of some of the things many of the top stars incorporate into their training and lifestyle in order to keep body fat levels down and fitness levels up...

1. They don't eat "white" foods -- Just like most models, movie stars tend to avoid anything made with white flour and white sugar. They eat mostly natural foods made from whole ingredients.

2. They cross train -- Celebrities tend to focus on doing a variety of exercises instead of just doing one thing every day (e.g. running, bike riding, etc.).

3. They stretch -- Much of the current popularity of yoga, pilates, and other stretching-intensive forms of exercise began because Hollywood celebrities starting doing them.

4. The do many of their workouts outdoors -- Many celebrities like to get outside to workout. Of course, it helps that they live in Southern California where the weather is almost always fantastic!

5. They focus on body fat levels, not weight -- Hollywood movie stars are more concerned with how they look on the big screen than with how much they weigh. That means low body fat is the primary goal, not just weight loss.

You may not be a famous celebrity or movie star, but there's no reason you can't follow the steps above to improve your own fitness!
