Sexiest Celebrity Abs

Jessica is 5ft 6in, 34-25-34, and weighs around 125lb, depending upon her training schedule.

Her workouts consists of a 45- to 60-minute cardio routine four days a week on the stationary bike, treadmill or stair machine, followed by lunges, biceps curls and other resistance exercises to tone and build lean body mass.

"I try to work out every day for 45 minutes to an hour," Jessica has said. "I start out on the treadmill or elliptical machine for 10 to 15 minutes to get my heart rate up to 180 beats per minute.

Then I do 50 lunges and crunches.

Next I get back on the machine for another 10 minutes.

Then I work on shoulders, biceps and triceps.

I do that nonstop for four sets.

When I work out, I have energy and feel good about myself."

Jessica has followed a strict diet and workout regimen for years, saying, "Everyone in my family is heavily overweight."

To combat her genes, Jessica typically avoids bread, desserts, fast food and fried foods. "I try to eat the healthiest version of something," she says. "I'll buy organic at Whole Foods or Bristol Farms."

You won't see Matthew McConaughey doing bench-presses at the gym.

Matthew McConaughey maintains his Adonis-like physique by enjoying various calisthenics workouts.

This movie star is often seen doing push-ups by the beach, doing pull-ups at the park, running, swimming, or even cycling with his buddy Lance Armstrong.

This type of workout is what allows Matthew to keep his body lean and sculpted.

Jessica Biel may have the best body in Hollywood.

Her personal trainer (Jason Walsh) recently revealed to People Magazine the workout that gives her slim thighs, firm butt, and her sexy abs!

Here is a summary of Jessica Biel's Workout

1) Cardio... Jessica combines steady state cardio with interval training.

After jogging for 1/2 a mile to warm up, she does a total of 6 sprints with short rests in between. She sprints for two sets of 200 meter sprints, two sets of 150 meter sprints, and two sets of 100 meter sprints.

2) Plyometrics... "These hurt," says Walsh of stair jumping. "Even athletes hate them.

After Jessica did these the first time, she would've punched me if she had the energy."

How-to: Jump from the bottom step of a flight of at least 20 stairs to the third. Keep going, skipping a stair each jump.

3) Weight Training... "We tend to use lighter weights and do more reps," Walsh says. "We keep moving, so it becomes a cardio workout too."

4) For the Abs... "Hanging leg raises don't build a six-pack, but they flatten," says Walsh.

"Jessica hates them, but she powers through!"

They also do the Russian Twist. Sit down and lean back slightly. Hold a 5-lb. medicine ball and twist from side to side, 15 twists per side, three reps.

Summary... Jessica Biel's Workout is very similar to a high level athlete.

It makes sense that she would have a better looking body than most other actresses in Hollywood... she is training at a higher level.

Her approach is intense interval workouts, which have proven time and time again to burn more body fat than "slow and steady" types of workouts.

No wonder why she looks so good!

David Beckham's well toned physique is due to three essential components to a perfect body:

1. strength training
2. cardio/endurance training
3. diet/sports nutrition

Becks body is a classic. He has minimal body fat, is well toned, without overly bulky muscles, and a lean and lithe appearance.

Janet Jackson has been quoted in the media as having an ongoing battle with an eating disorder.

Although Janet is working very hard to take control of her eating disorder, she still trains at an intense level.

Janet's workout routine, the one designed by her personal trainer Tony Martinez, has Janet doing intense workouts to stay in shape.

Janet Jackson's Workout Routine:

* Legs twice a week (reverse lunges, good mornings, toe touches, and leg press pushing back at a 30-degree angle).

* Upper body work twice a week (push-ups, pull-downs, chest flyes, biceps and triceps supersets and shoulder lateral raises).

* 3 days of ab training

* 5-6 days of cardiovascular exercise (including kickboxing, basketball, tennis, baseball, jumping rope, and running)

Keira Knightley refuses to set foot in a gym and puts her slim figure down to a combination of a grueling work schedule and her love of dancing to songs on the radio.

She admits that she could never subject herself to a punishing work out regime favored by many stars in a bid to keep fit and slim.

Keira has attempted to get into the spirit and take exercise classes, but the experience put her off for life.

She says:

"I really like the idea of yoga but I can't do it. It just pisses me off.

If anybody tells me to relax then I just tend to tense up.

That's why I'm not a yoga girl at all unfortunately.

And gym work is just so boring and repetitive. I'm not a gym person at all.

The most exercise I get when I'm not working is when I turn up the radio."

Much was made of Daniel Craig's muscular physique when he walked out of the sea in Casino Royale.

In that movie, he felt the need to look brutal and to have a body that reinforced the new image of James Bond as a hardened killer.

For his new movie,

For the next movie,Quantum of Solace, Daniel is said to be sporting a very fit, though somewhat less muscular physique.

"Last time I did a lot of weights to bulk up because I had to do it quickly".

"This time I'm going to do more boxing and more running".

"I need to be physically strong for Bond and, as much as I looked in great shape, I got a lot of injuries, probably due to the fact that I wasn't doing enough running and jumping, which is what 1 needed to do in the film".

"I won't look physically much different, but I won't be as 'no neck' as I was last time".

I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Even with one of the best bods in Hollywood, Halle Berry still needs help when it comes to staying in superhero shape.

Trainer Harley Pasternak has gotten the naturally fit star ready for big roles in Gothika, Catwoman and X-Men 3.

Pasternak is the first to admit that Halle, like most of us, isn't a fan of working out.

"Halle is amazing," he says. "She's naturally pretty athletic, having been a gymnast when she was younger. She does not like to exercise, but she definitely knows she needs to, and it's a means to an end."

It's hard to believe that someone with a practically flawless physique could dislike working out.

But Pasternak says for Halle it's all about the end product. "She has no problem working her butt off as long as she doesn't have to do it for too long, and as long as she sees results."

To keep Halle happy and motivated, Pasternak keeps her workouts short, intense and effective.

And even though she always stays on 5-Factor to some extent, Pasternak says her routine changes depending on which movie she's working on at the time.

Sometimes she'll be training five days a week for 30 minutes a day, and other times she'll cut it down to three times a week.

"In Catwoman there was a special need for her to be ultra-fit and very lean and very strong," he says.

"And in Our Eyes Are Watching God, we had to kind of let it go. You know, really had to let her be less toned and a little looser."

But regardless of what movie Halle's gearing up for, Pasternak says she sticks with the nutrition aspect of 5-Factor.

And even though she might be used to playing larger-than-life roles onscreen, Halle needs her "cheat" day just as much as the rest of us mere mortals.

Pasternak wouldn't tell us her weakness, but he admits, "Let's just say Halle enjoys her cheat day."

In order to get that muscular and shredded look for the movie Fight Club; Brad used an intense workout routine for amazing results. His workout was characterized by focusing on one muscle group up each day, then giving it the rest of the week to recover. This is very beneficial for adding muscle mass fast, because muscles grow during rest periods and not during the actual time in the gym.

Finally, at the end of the week, he finished off with a good cardio workout. This put his body in fat-burning mode, which served to shed any extra padding that covered his muscles, giving him that chiseled look.

Here are the exercises that made up his workout. He performed 3 sets, taking approximately 60 seconds to rest between each set. Also, he used a weight that is challenging enough that to complete 15 reps (with the exception of pushups and pullups), but be fatigued on the last rep. Remember, proper form is a must!
