In the fitness of things

Angelina Jolie

I made Original Sin right before I did Tomb Raider, so I only had 10 weeks to get into shape for Lara Croft. I worked out with a trainer in London three to four times a week, starting on a treadmill and then doing lunges, squats and resistance training. I got good at chin-ups and push-ups. I drank lots of water and ate six small meals a day,

each containing one portion of protein and one portion of carbohydrates. In general, though, having sex keeps me in shape!

Charlize Theron

I have always been very athletic. I studied ballet for years, but I used to sneak out to do ice skating, squash, running, everything. I still love exercise, natural exercise and dance. I love red meat. Barbecue is a big part of my life. For breakfast, it’s steak and eggs. But I will not mix sugar and salt, like the American breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon.

That’s gross.

Jennifer lopez

I’ve always been into sports. I did gymnastics, competed nationally in track and was on the school softball team. Now I work out with a trainer doing aerobic and weight exercises. I don’t believe in beating yourself up. I have egg whites in the morning, carbs for lunch and a salad for dinner. I keep fit and look after myself, but I’m not going to be anorexic, ever. I have

too much hot blood inside me.

Jenna elfman

I take ballet lessons at home three times a week and do yoga. I drink about 100 oz of water every day and try to avoid sugar.

JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT

When I knew I was going to play the Princess of Darkness in The Devil and Daniel Webster, I really wanted to get toned and fit. I worked out with trainers in LA three times a week, 90 minutes a session. I started off jumping, then did squats on a high step for my bottom. The push-ups, dips and kick-boxing were for my upper body. I like kick-boxing because it uses every muscle, my entire body.

DEMI MOORE

When I did G.I. Jane, I followed the Navy SEAL training regimen of obstacle course training, running, swimming and hundreds of push-ups, sit-ups and squat jumps.

Cameron diaz

I do Pilates for stretching and flexibility and work out with a trainer. I drink tons of water. I think women’s bodies are beautiful no matter what shape and I’m not afraid of gaining weight.

HOLLY HUNTER

When I had to play Billie Jean King for the TV movie, When Billie Beat Bobby, I needed my shoulders more defined and more muscle. I worked with a trainer up to two hours a day, five days a week for five months. I did time on the treadmill and weight training. I stuck to dumb-bells lighter than five pounds, though, because I wanted to look strong, not overdeveloped. I also did three hours a week of Pilates and ran.

LINDA HAMILTON

When I did Terminator 2, I prepared by in-line skating, cycling and weight-lifting.

ELIZABETH HURLEY

I do not like to exercise and I do not belong to a gym. This is the way I look naturally.

CATHERINE ZETA-jONES

I ate for Wales when I was pregnant. I weighed, like, 180 pounds. I gained 50 pounds. But then I went on a diet, I did a lot of walking and got a lot of sleep. Now, I never eat carbs after five ’clock. And I have this frenetic energy that’s unbelievable.

DENISE RICHARDS

I go to a nutritionist that Neve Campbell recommended and get my food delivered ? lunch and dinner, five days a week. Just nuke it in the microwave. It’s very convenient. When I was growing up, I was really skinny with bushy-bushy eyebrows and fat lips. You know, I bet all those girls who made fun of me and called me Fish Lips are getting collagen injections now. I’m very comfortable with my sexuality now.

RENEE ZELLWEGER

I put on 20 pounds for Bridget Jones’ Diary. I ate six pizzas and three candybars a day, plus fettuccine Alfredo and peanut-butter sandwiches. I think I was the only actress in Hollywood with weight-gain powder on her kitchen counter. It was like force-feeding. And I stopped working out. Then, when I wanted to lose the weight, I just started exercising again and cut out all the calorie-packed, sugary food. Basically, I hate rich food. Given my choice, I’d eat raw spinach and an egg white. I don’t have a sweet tooth. I don’t drink a lot. I don’t like sweets. I don’t like cookies. Except, once a month, I go for a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.

BRITNEY SPEARS

I love stretching and sit-ups but if I exercise too much, my legs get bigger. Dancing makes me leaner, and I do yoga every day. When I’m working, I go for high energy foods like cereal, Caesar salads and soup. I can’t get enough turkey sandwiches, but I’ve tried to get away from burgers.
