The perfect bodies and chiseled figure of the first beauties of Hollywood are the result of constant training. And the stars themselves do not hide this, but, on the contrary, are ready to tell and show clearly what exercises will help to find the body of a supermodel.
Cindy became the first supermodel who decided to share the secrets of her excellent physical shape and make money on it, by the way, very good money. In 1992, she released the video tutorial series “Cindy Crawford: Shape Your Body”, developed with renowned star trainer Radu. The video complex was a resounding success. Not only housewives, but also many celebrities became fans of shaping with Cindy Crawford.
Despite the fact that the program has already celebrated its 20th anniversary long ago, it is still popular. The complex from Cindy attracts with its simplicity and gentle exercises. At the beginning of the course, Cindy advises you to look through the entire program from start to finish, get acquainted with the glossary (at the end of the lessons, trainer Radu explains how to correctly perform especially complex exercises). According to the supermodel, she never chased thinness and did not want to be a fragile and defenseless girl. A firm, toned athletic body with good shapes is what a girl should strive for, says Crawford.

You will need a minimum of sports equipment: comfortable clothes, a pair of dumbbells up to 2 kg each, a rug and a chair. The complex includes various elements of several types of fitness – aerobics, Pilates, callanetics. The program is divided into three parts: the first two last 45 minutes each and are full-fledged workouts, and the third part is, so to speak, an express workout in 10 minutes. You can choose any of three workouts or alternate.
After the resounding success of the first fitness program, the supermodel released two more video courses. The shaping program “How to achieve perfection” is more intense and a little more difficult than the first one. The same beautiful background and pleasant music, but the workout has already lasted 70 minutes, and when performing even simple exercises, you will need weights.
But the program for young mothers “New Dimension” Cindy prepared with special tenderness and care! Three short sets of exercises are suitable for mothers who do not have much sports training, time and are just too lazy to sweat in the gym. Such easy aerobics for tired moms!
Another world superbeauty could not resist the temptation to boast of a thin waist and perfect shapes. Especially if the main competitor and girlfriend already has a successful experience. Therefore, the German beauty Claudia Schiffer, without a twinge of conscience, practically repeated Cindy’s program. But Crawford, apparently, was not offended. And was there any point if the program from Schiffer did not cause a stir, and everyone waved their legs and pumped the press in unison with Cindy.
Schiffer’s video course came out three years after Cindy’s fitness debut. In 1995, Claudia Schiffer and her personal trainer Cutty Kahler proudly presented the Claudia Schiffer – Superfitness: Strengthen Muscles program to the world. The lessons are divided into two parts, but in a strange way. In the first part, the exercises are aimed at pumping the arms, chest, abs and back, and the second – the legs, hips and buttocks. That is, one day you pump one muscle group, and the second – another. The exercises are easy to perform and are suitable for beginners as well as those who prefer lighter workouts.
The owner of an impeccable figure and ideal forms proudly bears the nickname Body. And looking at El, you understand that this nickname is more than justified. By the way, the supermodel changed her sixth (!) Ten, but she looks just as perfect as she did in her youth. As the beauty admits, in everything you need to thank not the genes, but the passion for sports and surfing. Therefore, in 2003, Elle MacPherson and her coach Karen Voight compiled the author’s course of sports lessons “The Body Workout”. If it was Elle’s debut, then Karen already had several releases of her fitness programs under her belt. This is not to say that “The Body Workout” from McPherson differs in something special from similar programs. But it should be noted that, unlike Cindy Crawford, Ehl prefers to train with weights (albeit an average weight, but still the effect of training is more significant and noticeable).
A Victoria’s Secret angel, who does most of her work in semi-nude, simply has to look stunning. Otherwise, the model can literally lose its job. Of course, now Adriana does not need to worry too much – she has already earned her millions and can afford to relax.
One of the highest paid models has repeatedly admitted that her fit and slender body is the result of constant training. Adriana more than once had to put the figure in full order in the shortest possible time. The model is already twice mom! Which, by the way, did not prevent her from going on the podium literally a month after giving birth.
On the official Victoria’s Secret YouTube channel, you can watch trainings from the brand’s leading models – Train Like An Angel with Lily Aldridge, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel. The personal trainer Justin Gelband works with the girls. And, despite the beauty and stellar status of the models, Justin does not spare them at all and loads them with training to the fullest. For example, Andriana Lima trains every day for 1,5 hours. And sometimes 2 times a day! Also in the sports “diet” includes a jump rope and … boxing. If you are ready to train with Adriana, then get ready for the maximum loads!
The actress, model, dancer and star of the series “Rescuers Malibu” is the first and only famous beauty who did not hesitate to record … striptease lessons. Her “Aerobic Striptease” is a great material and teacher for beginners as well as advanced dancers and striptease enthusiasts. The program is divided into four parts: a beginner’s course, an advanced course, a short hip-hop workout, and Carmen’s story about the objects that are used in striptease. The program ends with a staged dance in the form of a teacher, which the beauty offers to learn how to dance on her own. Despite the rather frivolous pas, you will not find obscenities in the program. By the way, Electra has released a whole series of five DVDs “Carmen Electra Aerobic Striptease”.
Carmen is primarily a professional dancer, because she has been dancing since she was 9 years old. Do not try to keep up with the flexible beauty, and even more so repeat her stretching from the first lessons. Save your ligaments and muscles!
One of the most beautiful athletes in the world at the peak of her career released a home version of a sports video. In 2001, 20-year-old Anna Kournikova invested a lot of effort and money in a fitness complex, expecting a successful start from it. But, unfortunately, the project turned out to be not very popular among sports fans, but it was wildly popular among men – fans of a spectacular blonde.
Undoubtedly, the program was filmed very beautifully and professionally, the exercises were prepared by eminent trainers, and Kournikova herself is simply irresistible. But the complex includes many complex elements, in addition, you will need extra sports equipment (mini-barbell, fitball) and even a partner with whom you must perform a number of exercises together. Training may be effective, but very troublesome.
At the time of the Spice Girls group, the red “peppercorn” was not particularly thin. After the breakup of the group, Jeri decided to work not only on a solo career, but also on her own body. The first clip of the ex-peppercorn “It’s Raining Men” simply shocked the audience. The once appetizing Jeri has shown a stunning trained and toned body. By the way, many even doubted Jeri’s authenticity – they say that the most spectacular plans are the work of the understudy. But envious people immediately bit their tongues as soon as all glossy magazines were full of Geri’s photographs, and the girl was happy to talk about her fitness program in the video courses “Geri Yoga” and “Geribody Yoga”. Of course, it was not without the help of a professional expert. Well-known yoga coach Katie Appleton, along with Halliwell, will warm up with you, give you the necessary instructions, and tell you about the most popular mistakes of beginners.
