15 Weird Celebrity Workout Habits
With rockin' bods at all ages, is it any wonder why everyone wants to know what celebrities do to get in shape—and stay in shape? The Hollywood crowd seems to be able to transform themselves overnight and lose weight in an instant.
Yes, many have personal trainers, but those trainers aren't doing the work for them. And just like you don't necessarily love barre class like your best friend and she can't run half as long as you, the A-listers also find different workouts that appeal to them the most. Not everything is that conventional, though. So, we decided to take a peek into some of the craziest workouts the stars have gone on the record to swear by—but you can always get some less-wacky tips with these 31 Sneaky Ways to Work Out—Without Hitting the Gym.
Shape House: Kardashians
We know that a good sweat can detox the body, but what about only sweating as a full workout? The Kardashians have all tried LA's Shape House, a "sweat lodge" where you sit under 160-degree blanket—while watching all the Netflix you can handle—and burn anywhere from 800-1600 calories. That's right, you don't move a muscle to get rid of the excess fat. Sounds a little too intense for us. And if it sounds too good to be true, well that's because it is. Experts say that the heat only ups your heart rate to a quarter of what it would be if you were actually running. For some get-slim ideas that don't involve so much sweat, check out these 15 Amazing Weight Loss Tips from Kim Kardashian's Nutritionist.
The BBS Workout: Taylor Swift
How do Taylor Swift, Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, Naomi Watts, Julianne Hough and Emmy Rossum have such insane physiques? They all swear by the Body by Simone workout. The studio offers five 55-minute classes: Dance Cardio; Full Body; Hips, Thighs, Buns; Upper Body; and Tramp Cardio on mini trampolines. When you leave dripping in sweat after a recommended 4-6 classes a week, you deserve a killer bod!
The Ranch 4.0: Rebel Wilson
Ranch 4.0 in Malibu is a four-day program that celebrities like Rebel Wilson have endured. For a $4,100 price tag, guests are taken on multi-hour hikes while being given a very small amount of food–like in the amount of six almonds, or an apple, or four carrot sticks—and that's it! You have to do a 30-day detox before you even get there and there's no sneaking in any of your own food for a late night treat. Don't feel too bad for the stars, though; the rest of the time, they're put up at the Four Seasons, have afternoons free for naps, stretching, core exercises—and, of course, massages. Like the idea of detoxing but actually like to eat, too? Then check out our 21 Healthy Ways to Detox Without Juicing.
