Hollywood's 25 hottest fit celebrity women - Muscle & Fitness (2024)

Julianne Hough

As the Dancing with the Starsstunner has told Elle and Self, she maintains those amazing abs from workouts five mornings a week, mixing up everything from spinning to hot yoga to super-intense dance cardio routines with celeb trainer Tracy Anderson. She and fiancé, hockey player Brooks Laich, are also huge juicing fanatics. But Hough also swears by once-weekly indulgences like pizza and pasta.

Jennifer Lawrence

X Men and Hunger Games star has worked with trainer Dalton Wongto maintain her toned but voluptuous physique, using a regimen that breaks up a busy workday into three or four 15-minute workouts focusing on core training, stretching, or “power circuits” targeting the legs and butt. Wong also helped J-Law learn how to eatmostly healthy(hummus, veggies, turkey) but still hold onto her beloved pizza and fries from time to time!

Kerry Washington

The svelteScandalstar worked with celeb trainer and former gymnastNonna Gleyzerto craft a several-days-a-week, hour-long Pilates routine with a special focus on calves and Achilles tendons to offset the long hours on set that Washington spends in high heels. All this helps her maintain a long, lean silhouette, as does a diet heavy on veggies and lean protein, not to mention daily doses of coconut water.

Jessica Biel

The7th HeavenandValentine’s Daybeauty (AKA Mrs. Justin Timberlake!)works withceleb trainer Jason Walsh tomaintain that luscious bod with an intense mix of plyometrics, walking lunges, weight training, and yoga. She alsoreportedlyadheres to a Paleo diet—no starch, sugar, or processed foods. Hmmm, we wonder if she occasionally cheats atAu Fudge,her own killer L.A. restaurant.

Jessica Alba

Even post-motherhood, theSin Citystar andHonest Companyeco-products entrepreneur rocks a slammin’ bod,thanks in partto trainer Ramona Braganza’s 321 method, which evenly balances cardio, weight training, and flexibility work while keeping the heart rate elevated. Alba herself has said, “If you don’t feel the intensity, then you’re not pushing yourself.”

Elsa Pataky

When you’re married to Thor (Chris Hemsworth, that is), your workouts better be next-level. And for this Spanish knockout, they are, including everything from Thai boxing and Pilates tousing her baby’s stroller to do crunches and planks in the park,doing yoga, and limiting her cake consumption to two bites.

Rachel Bilson

The former O.C.has said that she keeps her physique through morning walks and yoga, as she is no fan of the gym. And when she starts to feel down, she defaults to juicing with kale to feel healthy and clean again.

Jennifer Lopez

The 47-year-old bombshell, who did a triathlon in 2008,stays superfitwith celeb trainer Tracy Anderson’s method, which focuses on shredding fat by focusing on working the small muscles throughout the body. (She also works with New York-based trainer David Kirsch.) She mainlyrestricts her dietto tons of veggies and lean protein like salmon, though she likes her childhood comfort food of rice and beans with chicken or pork.

Nicole Scherzinger

The former puss*cat Doll andX Factorjudge throwslots into the mixto maintain her sleek physique, from intense dance sessions and jogging to exercise-ball crunches and 10-minute high-intensity treadmill sessions to respark herself when she gets off a plane and has to go straight to work. She’s alsoworked withBeverly Hills-based trainer Adam Ernster to get that beautifully sculpted upper body. But lest you think she’s all work and no fun…she loves her occasional red velvet cake!

Lucy Liu

At 47, theCharlie’s Angelsstarlooks amazing, thanks to a very intense Pilates regime she’s followed the past decade—which, in turn, has motivated her to eat healthy, with a focus on nothing but freshly squeezed juice before noon or perhaps a breakfast burrito with spinach and egg, then usually steamed fish and veggies for dinner. She’s also said that she runs at home on a treadmill while watchingDownton Abbey, pushing up her speed to intense levels, then dialing back down. Seems to be working!

Beyonce

The most bootylicious body in perhaps the history of civilization is attributable in part to celeb trainer Marcos Borges, whotaught Beya simple buttough4-part regime of jumps, lunges, lifts, and squats to help her maintain her incredible butt and thighs. And it seems that the woman who once popularized the Master Cleanse diet and even went vegan for a while at Borges’ urging nowadheres toamore moderate dietof salads for lunch, light dinners, and a little cheating here and there.

Margot Robbie

To get in killer shape forSuicide Squad, the former dancer worked with personal trainer Andie Hecker ona routinethat bypassed the usual high-intensity intervals for a turbo-charged Pilates course and a ballet-inspired regimen involving a jump rope and a mini-trampoline. She worked out so hard that she was able to eat whatever she liked alongside it…annoying costarAlexander Skarsgard, who was on a strict diet.

Gabrielle Union

TheBeing Mary JaneandBirth of a Nationstarstays tautby getting her heart rate up to the 120-160 fat-burning range on cardio machines, running with her dogs while her step sons (the sons of her husband, basketball star Dwayne Wade) hoverboard alongside them, and eating lots of lean proteins like fish and two servings of leafy greens a day. She’salso saidthat she’ll eat vegan during the workweek and indulge with a burger on days off.

Christina Milian

At 35, the costar of the upcoming Fox TVRocky Horrorremakestays bodacious with whatshe callsa “balanced” fitness regimen of cardio (brisk LA canyon hikes) and strength training, but no bootcamps or Crossfit (“too rough for me.”) She also doesn’t sweat it, so to speak, if she misses a day here and there, but when shedoeswork out, she prays. “In that moment,” she says, “I’m thankful because of my health and how my blood is flowing.” Her healthy go-to snack? An avocado with lemon, salt and olive oil.

Mila Kunis

To prepare for the filmFriends with Benefits, the Ukraine-born hottieworked withceleb trainer Brian Abercrombie on an intense protocol consisting of six movements done in a circuit over 40 minutes with no rest—incorporating walkover pushups, mountain climbers, TRX rows and more. Then, to slim down to play a ballerina inBlack Swan, the dark-eyed beauty worked out hard and restricted herself to 1,200 calories a day (plus tons of cigarettes, a habit she’s since kicked). “I don’t recommend anybody ever doing it,” shesaid laterof her weight-loss plan.

Michelle Rodriguez

Fast and furious! That’s how the super-sexy star of the aforenamed action movie franchise likes herworkouts, which aren’t overly regimented and incorporate everything from kickboxing to surfing. Maybe all that getting up on the board accounts for those lean muscles and six-pack abs. Well, that, and a vegan diet, which Rodriguezreportedlytook up after getting involved in animal-rights advocacy. “You can’t be sitting there trying to save animals and then killing them,” she said. “That’s just weird.”

Nina Dobrev

TheVampire Diariesstar knows you can’t sleep all day like a vampire to get a hot physique like hers. That’s why she’sworked withtrainer Steve Moyer on a turbo-charged one-hour circuit focused on core strength. It requires only a medicine ball and a mat, but boy, it’s intense, reflecting a mix of several kinds of lunges, jumps, and plank routines. Surelooks likeit’s paid off, though!

Halle Berry

TheX-Menstar, 50, has beenknown tofollow celeb trainer Harley Pasternak’s diet plan, whichincludesmart choices (snack on fruit and nuts, keep burgers lean) to help Berry keep her diabetes in check. Plus, she mixes fitness into her busy schedule with a 25-minute, five-times-weeklyworkoutthat devotes equal time to warmup, upper body strength work, lower body moves, core training, and fat-burning cardio.

Gwen Stefani

Can 47 really look this abs-olutely fantastic? No doubt! Pop icon andThe Voicejudge Stefani has long maintained that notoriously sculpted stomach with aworkout routine,designed by trainer Mike Heatlie, that involves sets of four to five intense exercises (barbell squats and lunges, military presses, speed-cycling) done super-fast, with no rest in between. Another wellness secret? Knowing when to give your body a break.Stefani did just that last yearafter the birth of her child, Apollo—and the break seems to have done her good!

Vanessa Hudgens

You don’t rock a bikini through the entirety ofSpring Breakerswithout having a killer body to back you up! And sure enough,High School MusicalsweetheartHudgens, 27,has admittedshe’s a workout addict, putting everything from Pilates and SoulCycle toaerial yogainto her personal fitness mix. A manager at a Santa Monica gym she frequents says that Hudgens does thefold-over glutealexercise to maintain that slammin’ booty.

Maria Menounos

The flat-out most fantastic stomach in Hollywood may belong toExtrahostMenounos, whoclaimsthat she usually forgoes the gym for bits of exercise woven into her day, such as quickie situp sessions or swapping out the elevator for the stairs. Though she does love the Israeli self-defense system Krav Maga and long hikes! And would you guess shealso loveswrestling? Yes, indeed!

Amber Heard

TheFriday Night LightsandMagic Mike XXLTexas-born beautyswears bycooking her own food (mostly veggies and lean protein) and sticking to whole foods to keep up her sleek physique. But these days, post-divorce from Johnny Depp, she’s doingintense three-hour workouts, in both gyms and parks, inLondon as she prepares to play Mera in the Justice League and Aquaman films.

Zoe Saldana

Shortly after giving birth to twin boys, the smokin’ hot 38-year-old got herself into sick shape by working with trainerRamona Braganza, who’s also worked with Halle Berry. But theGuardians of the Galaxystar has also worked with celeb trainerSteve Moyer, who puts her through intense 30- to 60-minute circuits, usually thrice weekly, involving groaners like squat plank pushups, jumping lunges, and hanging knee raises.

Kate Upton

You don’t end up on the cover of theSports Illustratedswimsuit issue and in films likeTower Heistby being merely beautiful! No, you have to have a physique to match—even if it means dragging weights across the flooron your hands and knees (while your dog watches, baffled!), courtesy of trainer Ben Bruno. He urges her to dothree or four strength-training exercises,with no rest in between, from weighted hip thrusts and TRX rows to single-leg Romanian deadlifts!

Khloe Kardashian

You can’t deny Khloe’s got one badass body. That amazing midriff comes courtesy of gruelingab rollersvia her trainer, Gunnar Peterson.Another secret? She works outin earrings and makeupbecause it motivates her.
