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.

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.
Have you ever been sitting in the movie theater, watching the Oscars, or flipping through gossip magazines and just thought, "Celebrities seem to have it all, don't they?" Fame, money, washboard abs. Life is a peach for the ladies of the red carpet (personal scandals aside). However, before you get jealous of gorgeous celebs like Jennifer Aniston and Eva Mendes for their enviable bodies and income brackets, you should know they work hard for their assets -- particularly the ones men ogle over and we dream of having.
