According to research conducted by the University of Scranton and published
in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, the No. 1 New Year’s resolution
people make is to lose weight. In fact, nearly 40 percent of individuals
in the United States vow to improve their weight during the New Year.
If you are one of these individuals, you might be wondering where to start. Along with following a healthy diet, adhering to a consistent exercise routine is vital for losing weight. To help you keep your New Year’s resolution this year — finally! — here are six celebrity-inspired workouts. Doing one a day will help keep liposuction specialist Dr. Sayah away.
Hiking
When you need to get in some cardiovascular exercise but don’t feel like hitting the pavement for a run, try hiking. Being outdoors imparts a sense of calm while providing beautiful views at every goal marker (i.e., hill top). Some of the celebrities who love hiking include Lea Michele, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel and Amanda Seyfried.
Kickboxing
Kickboxing is a high-intensity, high calorie-burning workout. That must be why so many celebrities — including Victoria’s Secret model Candice Swanepoel, Nikki Reed, Queen Latifah and Denise Richards — are fans of the full-body workout.
Ballet Barre Classes
Ballet-inspired workouts are cropping up everywhere. From Barre Method and Pure Barre to Dailey Method and Studio Barre, there’s a ballet barre class near you. Want to know which one is the celebrity favorite? Just ask Alexa Chung, Elle Fanning, Kelly Ripa or Natalie Portman; these women stay lean by regularly attending ballet barre classes.
Soul Cycle
Soul Cycle started in New York City but has quickly spread to the West Coast, with Soul Cycle studios open in San Francisco, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, San Diego and many places in between. Karlie Kloss, Julianne Hough and Katie Holmes are just a few of the fans of this indoor cycling class that provides inspirational coaching, rocking music and a full-body workout, thanks to the hand weights and core work included in the 45-minute class.
Yoga
Not only does yoga provide a sanctuary from the paparazzi, it also helps improve flexibility and build strength. So many celebrities are fans of yoga, whether it is the Ashtanga, Hatha or Vinyasa variety. Some of the most well-known celebrity yogis include Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna and Lady Gaga.
Bootcamp
Yes, people actually sign up for bootcamp-style workouts, during which participants can burn up to 1,000 calories in a one-hour class. Getting yelled at for an hour while performing high-intensity interval training? “Yes please!” say Katie Holmes, Jessica Biel, Sandra Bullock and Katie Couric.
Need Help With a Pesky Problem Area?
If you have tried these celebrity-inspired workouts and adhere to a healthy diet but still have pockets of stubborn fat that do not respond to your exercise and diet efforts, contact Dr. Sayah for help.
