The idea of a sexy body is an obsession for almost every woman, and everyone has their own concept of what a perfect body looks like, whether skinny, toned, or full of muscles, there are some rutines and habits which can help us reach our goal. And a good type of body - in my opinion is a healthy looking one. If you want to be slim enough to look elegant in a gown and yet toned to look amazing on the beach, you might like following Jessica Biel´s routine. She has not only a breathtaking figure, but a youthful toned skin, product of intense workout rutine and healthy diet.
According to Jason Walsh, Jessica´s personal trainer this isn’t as easy as Jessica makes it look like. For beginners who want to take on this routine, Walsh suggests doing less reps until you can reach the number of reps that Jessica does herself. Here is the typical Jessica Biel workout according to Walsh.
Warm-Up Phase. Start with five minutes of light cardio exercise, such as jogging, jump roping, biking, or anything that gets the heart pumping and the blood flowing.
Lunges. Follow with eight to 10 reps of walking lunges. Start by standing straight with your legs kept together. Bring your left leg forward, making a 90° degree angle with your ankle and your knee. Bring your right leg forward then do the lunge again. Repeat with the right leg. If you want more challenge, do the lunges while carrying a set of weights. This exercise is great for sculpting a perfect butt and pair of legs.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). Take a half-mile jog then follow it immediately with a 200-meter sprint. Take a one-minute rest then run a 100-meter sprint. Take another minute-long rest then run a 100-meter sprint. HIIT keeps the body in constant fat-burning mode.
Hanging Leg Raises. Walsh says this isn’t one of Jessica’s favorite exercises, but it definitely helped her get that flat tummy toned even when it’s not bikini season. Hanging from a high bar, raise your knees a little bit above the waist and hold for two seconds before letting go. Repeat 15 times.
Stair Jumping. Plyometrics is a fancy name for this exercise. Begin at the bottom stair and jump to the third stair. Continue jumping up the stairs, skipping one stair every time, until you have reached the top of 20 stairs. This isn’t fun, and every muscle in your body will be screaming out loud in pain, which means every muscle has been worked out.
Weight Training. For a toned instead of a beefed up look, use lighter weights and do more reps.
Russian Twist. To train the obliques, sit down slightly leaned back. Hold a five-pound exercise ball and twist to the left, then to the right. Repeat 15 times for each side.
Bicep Curl. With knees slightly bent and 10-pound dumbbells in hand, curl weights to chest, turn palms forward, then push the weights upwards over your head. Bring them down and do three sets of 10 to 12 reps.
Mix the Jessica Biel workout with your own brand of physical activities. Play tennis, take some dance classes, or, as Jessica does, hike with your dogs. The variety in activities works a variety of muscle groups and keeps your muscles getting ready for more.
