Tip 2: Do your least favorite strength training exercise first When people dread a certain exercise, it's most likely because they are weakest in the area of the body that the movement is targeting. That means ideally, it's the part of the body that needs to be worked the hardest. But when you hate the exercise, you tend to leave it until the end of your workout, which is when your energy is low and your muscles are fatigued, says Peterson who also trains Halle Berry. He says to always do the exercise you hate the most at the very start of your workout, that way you put in maximum effort, hit the muscles at your strongest, and will get through all the desired sets.

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
