SECRETS OF AN A-LIST BODY
How to get the enviable physiques of the stars
THIS week: Zoe Saldana’s lower legs ZOE SALDANA’s legs suggest lots of time spent in the gym. Not so. The Guardians Of The Galaxy actress, 40, limits sessions to 20 minutes. ‘I run in place for 30 seconds, then do squats, then carry a heavy ball a few times in a row until I get my heart rate up,’ the mother of two has said.
‘I work out three times a week, but if I do a lot of cardio, it means I’ll be dragging my feet for the rest of the day.’
WHAT TO TRY: Weighted calf raises. Sit on the edge of a chair or bench with good posture — head and back in line.
Hold a dumbbell on your right knee, with both hands stabilising the weight. Lift the heel of your right foot as high as possible. Pause, then lower your heel and repeat.
Do 12 repetitions then change sides. That’s one set. Perform four sets.
