March 3, 2006, 10:08 PM GMT / Source: TODAY The Oscars are here and all eyes are on the stars, but fashion isn't the only thing we'll be looking at. We'll also be checking out their well-toned bods, wondering how we could get the same results. Steve Zim, personal trainer and co-author of “Six Weeks to a Hollywood Body,” visited “Weekend Today” to reveal some celebrity workout secrets. Here's an excerpt from his book: Secrets of the stars Many people have been lured into buying a magazine because they saw a celebrity’s photo on the cover and were pitched a how-to exercise story on how you can get that star’s well-rounded butt. I know that I just can’t resist these magazines, and I’ve even written my fair share of those articles. Do you really want to know how celebrities look so great?
They work extremely hard to get those hard bodies. So let’s cut to the chase — stars’ bodies look like that because stars are dedicated, they watch what they eat, and they exercise intensely and often. You probably knew that, but what you may not know is that they really do have secrets to looking their best quickly.

And Holocausts they were, for in addition to the nearly 6 million Jews, the Germans also murdered over 2. Slavs, and that’s counting Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Belarus and Czechoslovakia alone.
They do things in a very particular way, in a specific order, and there are special exercises to sculpt specific body parts to create an overall look. If they can do it, you can do it, and I’m here to help you.
Let’s get very specific about what you most admire about the Hollywood body and how you want yours to look so that your efforts have a focus. The Hollywood bodies you most admire are the sum of many parts — that is, the backs of the arms, the derriere, the sculpted chest, the well-defined obliques, and the highly toned legs all contribute to an overall look. You may notice one or two of these body parts as your favorite celebrity glides down the red carpet in a revealing designer outfit. Merely losing a certain amount of weight will not make you look like your favorite celebrity.
However, if while losing that amount of weight you work to create proper muscular balance and definition, you will indeed look great. Throughout this book, I will teach you to take what you have and improve it into the best that it can be so that you achieve a total look that more closely resembles the body of your favorite star. Spot Toning Spot toning is truly the secret of attaining a Hollywood body.

The next time you are watching your favorite celebrities walking down the red carpet or being interviewed on television, examine their various body parts. Focus on the small details and take in how and why certain areas of their bodies stand out. Look at the body parts containing large muscle groups, such as the legs, the back, the arms, the chest, and the abdomen. All of these muscle groups are the sum of many parts as well. In examining the large muscle groups of the celebrity body, you will begin to see traits that you admire and may want to emulate.
If you look closely enough, many things may begin to stick out. You will notice a certain symmetry that is dazzling.
You will see balance between the upper and lower halves of the Hollywood body. Look closer and you will see that the right and left arms are the same size. The right and left legs are equally toned and muscular.
The biceps are just about as large as the calves. As you begin, balance will be your primary focus. It is not uncommon for most people to be out of balance. When we drive, we get out of the car by placing our left foot on the ground, and that leg supports our entire weight as we stand.
As a consequence, the left thigh is generally stronger and larger than the right thigh. Also, we all have a dominant arm, and we use that arm most of the time. This dominant arm is probably stronger and larger than the other arm. This imbalance may extend to other body parts.
Perhaps one of your shoulders is larger or higher, or one side of your back is more developed than the other. The muscles in your lower back may not be strong or developed as your abdominal musculature. Aside from disrupting proper posture, these imbalances take away from looking fit. LegsPay particular attention to your legs. When you are doing your sculpting exercises, you should strive to work your legs very hard.
The harder you work them, the greater the results will be throughout the rest of your body. There should be a balance between the strength and size of the front and back of the thigh. Commonly, even with well-defined thighs, the rear of the thigh is not well-developed. When the back of the thigh (hamstring) is bowed rather than flat, it will create a better line to accentuate the curvature of the buttocks, providing you with a more athletic and toned appearance. There are some large muscles in the front of the thigh. Creating greater definition in this area will have fantastic payoffs.
