How did she do it? All of America is wondering how Jennifer Hudson became a fitness icon. Hard work!!! Nothing more, nothing less. She worked her butt off - no pun intend. Her focus and determination has been an inspiration to all, men and women alike.

So, you understand the right mindset is crucial but how did she do it? Proper diet and exercise routine.

According to Hollywoodlife.com, Jennifer worked with Celebrity Trainer Harley Pasternak. She designed a 25-minute circuit training regimen that included cardio, lunges, shoulder presses, and ab exercises five days a week. Jennifer worked her way up to 50 minutes and an additional 25 minutes of cardio.

For 2012, Jennifer has a new redesign program as reported on Dr. Oz. She still has a circuit routine, which I love. Her routine is short, sweet and simple. Yet, it targets her upper and lower body, core and cardio. Let’s take a peek:

“PERFORM 25 REPS OF EACH EXERCISE BACK TO BACK AND REST FOR 1 MINUTE. COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT 4 TIMES.”

"KEYS TO FITNESS...Your Favorite Celebrity's Training Program"

I know you ladies see how your man looks at the body on Alicia Keys. I get it, because I look at her and say, “DAMN, Swiss is a lucky man”. Well, ladies don’t be jealous, just change it because you have the control to change it. Here is what I’m going to do, I’m going to show you the workout routine that Celebrity Trainer, Harley Pasternak, has put together for Alicia Keys according to fitnessmagazine.com, then I’ll give you my thoughts on what I would keep and what I would change. I have not assessed Alicia so my comments are strictly based on what I see in the routine. Let’s get to it:

• 1. Standing Oblique Flexion
• 2. Bench Step-Up
• 3. Reverse Incline Row to Rear Fly
• 4. Cross-Twist on Bench
• 5. Bench Wide-Grip Push-Up
• 6. Bent-Knee Deadlift
• 20-Minute Calorie Busters

This is an amazing total body workout. This is similar to the type of functional training circuit that I design for my clients. BUT, there are a few things that I would change. First, Standing Oblique Flexion, ladies remember that your oblique develops just like any other muscle. So, if you are performing oblique flexion, they will start to grow outward giving you that boxy shape. Focus more on your core abdominals by doing planks, crunches, mountain climbers, etc. Your cardio and diet will trim that abdominal fat around the waist, giving you that V-shape you all want. As I look at the rest of the routine Harley has designed, I honestly love it.

This is a great routine that most people can follow. If you have any lower back injuries do not perform the Cross-Twist on Bench. Instead, choose an alternative abdominal exercise that does not cause spinal flexion or rotation.

Guys don’t worry, next week will be your turn. LADIES FIRST
