Healthy Moves
Can't Get Moving? Your Ultimate Get Motivated Guide
By Bethany Lye








We helped 3 women launch themselves off the couch and start meeting their goals to firm up and shed pounds.

TOO TIRED. TOO DISTRACTED. TOO ... Whatever. We all have those days when we just can't seem to make working out a priority. And that's OK. But a fitness-free month or two-or three or more-could spell trouble for your health (not to mention your figure).

We found three women, each with different reasons for skimping on their workouts (which may sound distressingly familiar to you). Then, we asked Valerie Waters, personal fitness trainer and motivational guru to stars like Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner, for expert exercise tips to help each of these women get back on track.

10 Pound Meltdown - Part I







This Program Won't Just Help You Drop 10 Pounds
It's going to make you look forward to exercising. That's because each day brings a different workout, and this change-it-up strategy puts your body on the fast track to firm. "When you challenge your muscles with something new each workout, they're constantly trying to adapt, so results come quickly and you keep getting toned," says celebrity trainer Valerie Waters of Brentwood, California. She designed 21 sculpting moves, then we added three fat-blasting cardio routines; mix and match for a fresh workout everytime (don't worry, we tell you exactly how to get started). Plateaus will a thing of the past-and so will flab. Resolve to start our plan today and your New Year will be a heck of a lot healthier and happier.



YOUR WEEKLY WORKOUT PLAN
To lose 10 pounds in a month, do at least 300 minutes of cardio and 2 or 3 strength sessions a week, and follow "The 100% Satisfaction Diet," page 124. Here's how it all comes together.

Monday: Do Monday's moves and the Speed Play cardio workout.*

Tuesday: Do the Power Hour cardio workout.

Wednesday: Do Wednesday's moves and the Incline Challenge cardio workout.

Thursday: Do 45-60 minutes of any activity at a moderate intensity (the level at which you can hold a conversation).

Friday: Do Friday's moves and the Incline Challenge.

Saturday or Sunday: Do the Power Hour or up to 60 minutes of moderately-intensity exercise (see Thursday's plan, above). Rest on the other day.

CUSTOMIZE IT: Follow this plan weekly, or mix it up. Just never do the same routines back-to-back and always rest for 48 hours between strength workouts. If you're trying to firm up and maintain your weight, skip one of the cardio and strength days.

Valerie Waters is a "celebrity" trainer, but she isn't a Hollywood narcissist. She welcomed us so enthusiastically, you'd have thought her client Jennifer Garner had just walked in. While warming up on the elliptical, we went over our history and goals-and then started the first of two circuits of lunges, squats, biceps curls, thigh work, back and shoulder presses, and step aerobics. Every exercise challenged but didn't overwhelm us. One hour session, $250 and up.

Trainer to the stars, Valerie Waters, shows Nikki Boyer how to get that JLo booty in TV Guide's special Celebrity Bodies report on Hollywood 411.

How To Get A Celebrity Body (Without Being One!)

Attention Ladies!!
“Who Else Wants To Get A Tight Butt, Small Waist, Toned Arms, and a Lean Sexy Body In Just 6 Weeks From The Comfort Of Your Own Home?”

Subject: How To Get A Celebrity Body (Without Being One!)



Dear Friend,

If you want a lifted tight butt, flat stomach, and no more jiggles when you walk but you want all this without getting buff with a ripped 6 pack and bulging muscles then this is the most important letter that you will ever read.

Here's Why....

My name is Valerie Waters.

For the past 15 years I have been helping Hollywood stars like Cindy Crawford, Jennifer Garner, Poppy Montgomery, Elizabeth Berkeley, Kate Backinsale, Lauren Graham, and Lauren Holly get the sleek and sexy bodies that they need for their roles in Blockbuster Hollywood movies or Primetime TV shows.


Now, I want to help you.

First you should know something very important – you've also been lied to about celebrity weight loss secrets.

This is very important….

You don't have to be a celebrity to have a movie star body.

The insider celebrity weight loss secrets that you are about to learn have nothing to do with money, fame, live-in personal chefs, or one-on-one personal trainers that work with you 8 hours a day. NOTHING.

But the thing is….you WILL have a movie star body with a tight butt, toned and sexy arms, lean legs, and a taut waist….no matter what your age or what you life is like – married, single, kids, no kids, if you work all day…none of this matters.

I was able to try on "normal" clothes and actually feel good about how they fit!

HOORAY! I am now officially 10 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight!!

Not only that, but my clothes are starting to fit again!! There arenít words enough to describe just how excited I am! I can't thank you enough, Val! Not only for putting together such a fantastic and effective program, but for creating a community where we can be encouraged and held accountable.

Honestly, without this program, I would most likely have finished off a batch of cookies and be

sitting in front of the TV, sobbing about how fat I am this evening.

Instead, I just finished a fantastic shopping trip with my husband, where I was able to try on "normal" clothes and actually feel good about how they fit! THANK YOU!!! "

What you are about to discover is the same system that Cindy Crawford used at age 31 when she was called to be on the cover of Playboy Magazine and needed to look as good as she did at age 21. Not only did Cindy look amazing at the photoshoot- we transformed her body (knocking 10 years off her 'look') only working out for 50 minutes, 3 days a week.

That's right ONLY 3 workouts a week for 50 minutes a piece.

I'm going to give you the exact blueprint of what we did and I can tell you what it is not.

It is...

NOT 8 hours of training a day

NOT endless hours on a treadmill

NOT exercise programs written for men but just given to women.

I know you may be skeptical as if I were in your shoes I would be thinking ...

"Yeah but celebrities have personal trainers for all their workouts and personal chefs for all their meals. I don't have either!"

I can tell you from personal experience that this is NOT the case. I am going to take you step by step showing you exactly what to eat, exactly how to exercise and exactly how to get the body of your dreams...

Without a personal trainer...

Without a Personal Chef...

Even Without a Gym...in JUST 6 Weeks

n JUST 6 Weeks


How is that possible??

Over the years working with my different celebrity clients I have been faced with my hard deadlines - whether is was Cindy Crawford's playboy shoot, Jennifer Garner's shooting of the pilot for the show Alias or Rachel Nichol's first day of shooting as Shana "Scarlet" O'hara in the G.I. Joe movie...as their trainer I needed to deliver a top notch, sexy, toned body (you know the kind that could kick a bad guy's butt, yet still look great in a dress).

To get these girls into that movie star shape I usually only have 6 weeks. That is why I had to craft and hone my toning, tightening, weight loss system to get amazing results in 6 weeks or less.
