General workout tips celebrities swear by Tip 1: Work fast, and work hard

Gunnar Peterson, trainer to Angelina Jolie, says one of the biggest mistakes women make is thinking there is a "quick fix" or "easy" way to get toned. He says that if you want to see the scale go down or get more muscle definition, you have to "turn up the volume." That means if you're going to a fitness class, get there 10 minutes early and do 50 crunches or 50 pushups while waiting for your class to start. He says that if you are "five minutes early, you are five minutes late." Never give yourself excuses while you are at the gym; constantly be moving, trying harder, pushing yourself.

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
