Move 2: Claire Danes' Body Saw Celeb trainer Joe Dowdell uses this move to get the starlet's core tight and arms and shoulders toned:

Put some paper plates on the floor and assume a plank position with your forearms on the floor, your shoulders directly above your elbows, and your toes on the paper plates. From there, contract your core and lats and slowly pull your upper body forward, slightly dragging your feet three to six inches forward. Then slowly push your body back into the starting position where your elbows are directly under your shoulders. Move 10 to 12 times forward and backward for three sets, taking rests in between, for 15 to 30 seconds each.

See a video demonstration of it here.

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
