Hollywood celebrity body in just 6 weeks
Sounds difficult? A new book shows you how to do it
We have
already talked about
fitness secrets of Hollywood celebrities and their
style tips to look great, but how to get a Hollywood
body, as they call it in the world of entertainment. Well,
a lot of the personal trainers to the stars have been
spilling the beans on how most of the stars
lose weight after pregnancy, stay fit, and always look
beautiful. Of course, there are exceptions. Stars do get
fat, and many of them opt for
weight loss surgery to get rid of that ugly fat on the
tummy. In any case, one of the books sharing these
secrets is “6 Weeks to a Hollywood Body” by Steve Zim and
Mark Laska. Zim, a Hollywood trainer, is also the author
of Hot Point Fitness and has many celebrity clients and
has trained
Jessica Biel, Ashley Judd, and Layla Ali.

Zim's
suggested program includes both fitness and nutrition. The
first phase of 2 weeks is for initiation with a more
rigorous diet and an intense fitness schedule. During the
second phase, that lasts 4 weeks, the nutrition and
fitness programs are tailored to your body type: whether
you are an ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph. (Related:

There
is something else that is intriguing about Zim's approach
- “spot training” - it is not
spot reduction per se, but training. What he is
saying is that you can work each part of your body through
exercises to create a more balanced and toned body. For
example, if you want to make your upper body look more
toned, you can
weight train to develop the muscles in that zone. |
 What
we like about this program? The book gives details
on
exercise
programs
for each body type and advice on an
appropriate
diet. The advantage of this program is that it
uses affordable fitness equipment. The program
suggests a diet, but it is not a rigorous diet, as
say,
South Beach Diet or
Perricone Diet or
Oprah Diet. This means you can be flexible and
adjust it to your taste and lifestyle.

What
we do not like? It is a somewhat complicated book
so if you are new to dieting and fitness, you may
not follow the book so easily. Sometimes you just
want someone to tell you what to do, the way the
Weight Watchers or
eDiets does. You also have to like a
lot of protein in each meal.
So what do we
recommend? Not a lot of new things here, the way there is
not a whole lot of newness in the
Jerusalem Diet. It is still somewhat easy to follow
and if you put just a little bit of effort, you can really
get a
great body, if not a Hollywood body.
