Free celebrity workouts

What did we ever do without YouTube and the internet? What it means is that it's now possible to get expert personal training workout and tips from trainers responsible for getting the Hollywood stars into shape.
In under a hour, I've already revamped my own training regime and have picked out some of the best free sites for you guys...

Gunnar Peterson
Responsible for getting Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani into shape, Gunnar is one of the top trainers in the world. This site is brilliant with easy to follow video instruction on a number of functional exercises. This is the new buzz word in the fitness world, meaning that you exercise in a manner that replicates the movement patterns that your body usually does day to day.

The Body Doctor
Otherwise known as David Marshall, this is the man credited with the amazing transformations of Sophie Dahl and Rachel Weisz. He's most famous for a six week plan which, in three 90-minute sessions completely transforms your body. At a cost, of course. That's why it's worth logging on to his website for free stuff! The vidoes are a bit cumbersome to watch and the exercises aren't that challenging but it's great for beginners.

Kathy Kaehler
She's trained Claudia Schiffer and Lisa Kudrow, which is good enough for Fitbitch as they both look fantastic. Unlike the other's, Kathy provides both a 30-minute cardio workout to help burn fat, as well as an easy to follow resistance exercises. These are just as vital as muscle burns more calories at rest so it helps you slim. And it's particularly important for those of us who are over 30 as we lose 0.5kgs of muscle every year.

Mark Jenkins
He's helped Beyonce develop her enviably toned curves and notably helped Missy Elliot completely metamorphose. And when you watch his workouts you understand why. This video workout focus on plyometric exericses. These are short, explosive exercises usually practised by those training for a sports event and develop spped and strength. To follow this workout you'll need a lot of equipment and it's not stuff you'll get at your local gym. Still, if you're ready for the burn, then this is the one.
