Balance: Healthy Hollywood LivingGwyneth Paltrow Shares Her Sculpting Secrets
It's hard to believe that Gwyneth Paltrow, with her tonedand tight bod, just wrote a cookbook filled with recipes like oyster po' boys,challah French toast, and cheesy stuffed burgers. (Sure, there are healthieritems in the book, too, but we like to skip right to the good stuff.) If the38-year-old mother of two manages to eat decadent dishes like thoseand stay so lean and mean, then, well, I'm jealous.
But onething everyone knows the actress focuses on to stay in svelte shape is exercise.Gwyneth's trainer Tracy Anderson shared a few moves from the actress' workoutroutine for achieving sculpted arms and flat abs with Self.com. You may end upwith more muscles, but we can't promise the Oscar or rock star husband ...
