4 simple fitness tips that hundreds of celebrities use

Cameron Diaz

There’s a reason why so many A-list stars look flawless in their photoshoots, films and on the red carpet. While Photoshop often has something to do with it, there are many celebrities that can pull off a perfect body with little to no help from airbrushing. How do they achieve this? Here are some great tips from Hollywood’s most accomplished performers, like Cameron Diaz and Kim Kardashian.

Morning workouts are prime

Christina Applegate, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu all reportedly follow a morning routine of exercise. Working out in the morning is a great way to start the day because it helps boost your metabolism and gives you an excellent adrenaline kick (especially when you’re feeling groggy or tired).

Starving yourself is not the answer

Jennifer Aniston’s personal trainer, Kathy Kaehler, has warned people against fasting. Fasting can undermine your ability to put on bulk, tone and even lose weight. It can have the opposite effect of encouraging your body to put on weight because your metabolism will be slowed.

Make time for exercise daily

Consistency is critical to maintaining your body shape and your overall health. Gunnar Peterson, a personal trainer who has helped celebrities like Sofia Vergara, Halle Berry and Kim Kardashian, encourages people to make time for their exercise. Make sure your goals are accurate and reasonable, so if that means doing a little bit less than usual, then that’s ok.

Yoga and stretching should be included

Most people don’t stretch enough when they work out, which can cause unnecessary injury. Working out shouldn’t be about punishing the body – in fact, it’s the opposite. Yoga is especially valuable if you want to keep your mind and body active, while reducing your stress. Consider subbing out a day at the gym for a yoga session – you’ll probably find your workouts are more efficient this way.

Healthy cooking can be a massive challenge, especially if you have a hectic schedule where you don’t have much time to spend on food. However, if you have a family with young children, you must promote positive, healthy eating habits at mealtime. Think you could do with a helping hand? Here are some great healthy recipes from the world’s most famous culinary artists.

Honey-glazed carrots and parsnips, Gordon Ramsay

Gordon Ramsay is well known for his temper, and of course, his food. If you’re looking for something healthy and delicious, then Ramsay’s glazed vegetable dish is a must-try. The veggies are roasted with star anise, thyme, cinnamon and honey, culminating in a sweet and sticky glaze that you’ll be adding to every Sunday roast.

Chopped salad, Bobby Flay

Bobby Flay’s chopped salad is technically called “Sophie’s Chopped Salad” – which is the name of Bobby’s daughter.

A simple, easy-to-make salad that everyone will enjoy.

Broccoli sautéed in wine and garlic, Mario Batali

According to Batali, this is one of his favourite recipes. It’s simple, delicious and very healthy. All you need is 1 head of broccoli, 1 orange and 1 lemon (all fresh). Side ingredients include olive oil, garlic, white wine and hot red pepper flakes. Using a sauté pan, heat the oil with the garlic until it begins sizzling. Once it’s sizzling, add the broccoli to the pan and commence adding wine to the pan, as this will keep the garlic from browning. Cook until the broccoli stalks are tender (usually 8-10 minutes), before adding red pepper flakes and the lemon and orange zest.
