Move 1: Reese Witherspoon's Super Lunge Celeb trainer Michael George says this is how he gets Witherspoon's core, legs, and butt toned:

Start in a down lunge position and bring your arms in front of your face in pyramid position (think boxing). Keeping your upper body relaxed, lift your back knee up towards your chest so you are standing on one bent leg. When the leg comes up near the chest extend your leg from the knee (flick the leg like a martial art kick), pushing out with the heel and keeping your standing leg bent. Then gently place the leg back down the starting position (down lunge). Do 15 to 25 reps on each side, 2 to 3 times a week.

Of course, pictures of the actual exercises would be nice but lets exercise our brains here as well people! I have heard of these exercises and I highly doubt that is the ONLY thing they swear by. These are very helpful and it's awesome that these trainers share these tips with us just to help us feel as beautiful as these starlets.

Some of these exercised will be very useful! Although I won't find myself trying the pull-throughs at the gym in front of all the guys working out. They're a bit awkward in front of others...though they look great for core toning
