Reese Witherspoon is hooked on yoga, and her favorite yoga studio is YogoHop in Santa Monica. Reese’s usual workout routine was running, which is a passion of hers, but she recently added yoga to her workout regime to help relax and deal with stress.

What makes Reese’s class so special? YogaHop plays rock, pop and hip-hop music during class and each class has different music to shake things up. The first hour Reese moves from one pose to another every few breaths. In the last half hour, the pace slows and Reese switches to flexibility moves and stretches which she holds for up to a minute or more.

As an added push, Reese’s instructor has her do 5-10 pushups betweens poses. “At first Reese did these on her knees, now she can do full push-ups,” says YogaHop owner Matthew Reyes.

Reese’s favorite pose is the Side-Angle, which strengthens her legs and stretches her chest. To try it at home:

• Stand with feet hip-width apart. Lunge forward with left foot (so thigh is parallel to the floor) and turn right foot out.

• Place left hand on floor, inside left foot.

• Rotate torso to the right and extend right arm toward ceiling, palm facing right. Hold for 30 seconds, repeat on opposite side.

In order to have a great workout, Reese makes sure she has all her favorite gear with her including Yogitoes skidless premium towel – which helps her keep a grip on her mat,  Lululemon head wraps – to help keep her blonde hair out of her face with posing, and her favorite Havaianas flip flop – Flash Hit.

You can see Reese is looking amazing!

The ladies of Girls Next Door revealed to Us Weekly magazine how they stay fit and trim. Kenda Wilkinson is know as the jock, and has a very athletic figure, while Bridget Marquardt is the more voluptuous bunny.

When is comes to diet secrets, Kendra says she always starts the day with a bowl of Cheerios filled with milk and a bowl of fruit, such as strawberries and bananas. Bridget says she makes sure not to eat too late, and to just eat in moderation – so she doesn’t starve herself of her favorite treat, ice cream. Instead of 3 scoops she’ll just have 1.

Bridget stays in shape with her new favorite activity, trapeze . She says it tones her body in areas she’s never felt before and it makes her stomach very toned. Kendra stays fit by running with her dogs, snowboarding and playing softball.

Before a big event Kendra does a 22-minute drill on the treadmill at a 15% incline, then she does squats with weights and some situps. Bridget drinks plenty of water before a big event and cuts down on any carbs.

The girls have their own personal workout routines on their DVD: The Girls Next Door Workout . Check out some segments from Bridget and Kendra’s workouts.

Gwyneth Paltrow was on the Oprah Winfrey show, and she dished about how she got into the best shape of her life after having two children, and all about her diet and fitness routine.

Gwyneth told Oprah after she had her second child with husband Chris Martin, she had trouble losing the baby weight, “I could not get off these 20 extra pounds,” she says. “I don’t know if something changed. I don’t know if it was being older and being in my 30s instead of my 20s. … I [was] 34 when I had him, and I just couldn’t get it off. It was kind of demoralizing.”

Gwyneth began working out 6 days a week for 2 hours with trainer Tracy Anderson. “She’s the exercise genius of all time,” Gwyneth says. “She developed this system of kind of doing dance aerobics so that you’re not doing anything repetitive.” The actress later introduced her trainer to Madonna, who also helped her get into amazing shape.

One important secret to Gwyneth’s weight loss is turning up the heat, her trainer comes to Gwyneths home gym and helps her lose inches by cranking up the heat to 80 degrees. “She likes it hot in the room so you sweat, because she says if the room is hot, you’re also burning calories to maintain homeostasis,” Gwyneth says. “She’s always coming up with new ways to kick up the calorie burning.”

Using cardio dance routines and resistance training, Tracy has helped Gwyneth transform her bodies. “She makes everything small,” Gwyneth says. “She wants women to be long and lean and defined.”

The routine starts with Tracy’s band system. “I developed the band system for Madonna, specifically, which we use to warm up the arms,” Tracy says. “It just offers me a new way of getting to the muscle and the angles that I need to get a little bit deeper.”

Then, Gwyneth moves on to arm exercises that require little to no resistance. “Only 3-pound weights,” Tracy says. “No woman should lift more than 3 pounds.”

When she’s away Gwyneth uses her trainers DVD’s, “I do those DVDs whenever I travel. She completely changed my body.”

As for her diet, Gwyneth says she pretty much eats what she wants because she works out so hard. “I don’t eat four-legged animals, but I eat birds, I eat cheese, I eat dessert,” she says. “I eat everything.”

Gwyneth says dieting has never worked well for her. “I’ll immediately gain like 5 pounds even just by thinking about cutting out dessert. It’s a nightmare,” she says. “I decided, for me, the healthiest thing was to eat what I want and just exercise. Some women can watch what they eat, but I just can’t do that.”
