Celebrity Diet & Workout routine of the week

Jessica Biel:




Walking Lunges:
One of her favorite warm-ups is the walking lunge. "This stretches out the larger leg and glute muscles," says Walsh. How-to: With feet together, lunge first with right leg. Bring left foot alongside right. Lunge with left. Do 8-10 per leg.
Cardio:
"It's the cardio that leans her out,” says Walsh. After a ½-mile jog, they hit the track for two 200-meter, 150-meter and 100-meter sprints.

Core:
"Hanging leg raises don’t build a six-pack, but they flatten," says Walsh. "Jessica hates them, but she powers through!" How-to: Hanging from a high bar or rings, pull knees up slightly above waist. Do three sets of 15 repetitions.

Plyometrics:
Plyometrics: "These hurt," says Walsh of stair jumping. "Even athletes hate them. After Jessica did these the first time, she would've punched me if she had the energy." How-to: Jump from the bottom step of a flight of at least 20 stairs to the third. Keep going, skipping a stair each jump.

Weight Training:
Jessica's trainer suggests she use lighter weights with more  reps and keep moving, so it becomes a cardio workout.

For the mid section:
The Russian Twist. Sit down and lean back slightly. Hold a 5-lb. medicine ball and twist from side to side, 15 twists per side, three reps.

For shoulders/biceps:
Stand with knees slightly bent. Hold 10-lb. weights in each hand. Curl to chest. Rotate hands, palms face outward. Press overhead together. Do 3 sets of 10-12 reps.




Jessica's Diet
"Clean foods"
— those that aren't processed—are on the menu Walsh created. "She eats complex carbs at the beginning of the day," he says, "and tapers off by the end."
