Celebrity Trainer Valerie Waters Reveals All. By Staff Writer at Weekly OK Australia Jessica Biel has been staking her claim as hollywood's hottest body. From causing a stir on the red carpet to catching the eye of current beau Justin Timberlake, she's got one of the most coveted figures in tinseltown. These days, Jessica rivals the lilkes of Charlize Theron and Justin's ex Cameron Diaz with her athletic shape - and she's so keen to keep it that way, she even works out while touring with JT! Celebrity trainer Valerie Waters, who got Jessica into shape for her recent movie "Home of the BRave," says working out isn't a chore for the sporty actress, who loves all kinds of exercise. 'Jessica was referred to me through Jennifer Garner's manager,' says Valerie, who made a name for herself training super model mum Cindy Crawford. 'Cindy's been my main client for 15 years and I use her as a role model for my other star clients,' she says. 'For 15 years Cindy has been going to the gym three days a week for an hour. She lives her life with balance. She doesn't ever roller-coaster and gain 20 pounds. 'Jessica felt the workout in her butt straight away' Jessica works out five days a week for an hour each time. 'If she's not working out with a trainer, she's going to volleyball or yoga or hiking. She's an active girl - her focus is on going out and having fun playing sports.' Valerie is quick to add it's more of a passion than an obsession for Jessica. 'She likes to work out her whole body and do it hard, but she's not obsessed. She just really enjoys it and her body is a result of that type of lifestyle.' Like anyone, when Jessica's travelling, her regular exercise regime can take a backseat. But the actress has a nifty travel workout secret to fall back on - and it's one we can all use. The portable exercise pack, called the Val Kit for Travel, provides a simple 20 minute workout. It contains two pieces of equipment - the Valband and the Valslide - plus workout programs, and exercise and nutrition tips. 'Jessica like's it because she felt the workout in her butt straight away. Most celebs want the butt. If you work it, lift it and it's full, it's OK if you gain a few pounds. What's not cool is a saggy butt! Jess's Travel Regime Jessica sticks to her exercise plan - regardless of where she is. 'Whenever my clients travel, they don't want to carry much stuff and often they don't know if [they'll] have a gym close by,' Valerie says. 'I created a travel kit. You only need enough space so that you can lunge and do pushups [and] often actors will do it in their hotel rooms and trailers.' EXERCISE #1 Valerie invented the Valslide: a portable slide board that's slightly bigger than your foot. It makes lunges - which you can do at home to work your glutes and tone your bum - more effective. 'With the Valslide, you put your foot on it and instead of stepping back into a reverse lunge, you slide back into it. That keeps continuous tension on the glute muscle in the opposite leg, so it works the muscle harder but feels easier.' EXERCISE #2 The Valband is a small band wrapped around your ankles, which, when you step to the side, works your hips,' Valerie explains. You can get the same results with a resistance exercise band. 'Jessica likes to put it around her ankles, bend at the knees, bend down and take a little crab walk to the side. It's so effective. It works your hips and your glutes,' she says.
