We were not only dazzled by the plunging necklines and sexy cutouts on those gorgeous gowns at last night’s Oscars, but by the toned, chiseled bodies the leading ladies were flaunting, too. And we made a mental note to put down the chips (post show, of course), and ramp up our sweat seshes, pronto!
Check out these 3 moves that help keep Naomi Watts, Jennifer Aniston, and Scarlett Johansson red-carpet ready.
Power up your arms like Naomi Watts
Trainer: Simone De La Rue
Go-to-move: Triceps Shredder Triangle Push-Up
“This move is so specific, hitting only the triceps, and results in great muscle tone in that area,” De La Rue says.
How to do it: Start by kneeing; press forefingers and thumbs together to make a triangle. Place hands facedown on mat with wrist under shoulders, then step feet back, coming into a plank (A). With core engaged, slowly lower body halfway down to the floor (B). Push back up to “A.” Do 10 reps every other day, working up to 30.
