Move 3: Eva Mendes' Cable Pull Throughs Dowdell says he uses this move to get Mendes' butt and thighs in tip-top shape:

At the gym, use the cable column with a rope attachment and set the rope to the bottom position, straddling it facing away from the machine. Hold the rope with both hands and walk out a couple steps from the machine. Keeping your weight on your heels, back arched, and chin tucked in, sit back, letting the cable pull your arms back through your legs. Fire your hamstrings and glutes to get you back up to the standing, starting position, paying specific attention to pulling Your hips through and pushing your butt cheeks together. Do three sets of 10 to 12 reps, resting 45 to 60 seconds in between.

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
