Use the image of your favorite celebrity's body as motivation for your work out. Celebrity's often consult with personal trainers that provide effective exercises to attain the desired results. Perform exercises that focus on more than your problem areas or you can end up with an unbalanced physique. Do strength training exercises targeting all major muscle groups and add aerobic activities to your workout routine.

Lindsey Vonn

Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn provides five exercises she does with an exercise ball as part of her extensive lower-body workout routine. Start with plankups, holding the pose as long as possible rather than doing repetitions. Follow with six to 12 repetitions of an exercise called the twist-tuck. For the third exercise, do three sets of 12 to 15 repetitions of the hamstring curl. Balance on top of the exercise ball to do three sets of the quadruped pulse. For the last exercise, complete three sets of 15 repetitions of single-leg ball squats.

Cameron Diaz

Try these three exercises Cameron Diaz used to get a superhero body for the "Green Hornet" movie. Start with 20 repetitions on each side of the jumping kick. The second exercise features dumbbells and five repetitions of a modified pushup called Up, Up and Away. Target your abs by performing 20 repetitions of ab attack, a situp you do with dumbbells.

Chelsie Hightower

Follow these five workout moves from celebrity dancer Chelsie Hightower's exercise routine designed to be performed outside the gym. Start with three repetitions of a wall sit with a single leg lift. Next, place your hand on a sturdy chair for balance and do three to five repetitions on each side of passé to second position on your tip-toes. Lie down for 15 to 25 repetitions of scissors leg lifts. Stand next to the wall again for one to three minutes of the ballroom swivel. Get into a modified pushup position for 10 to 12 repetitions of the triceps pushup.

Hilary Swank

Tone your arms and shoulders like Hilary Swank with your resistance band. Start by doing as many repetitions as you can of the chest-fly exercise, tying one end of the resistance band to a sturdy object. Next stand on one end of the band and grasp the other in your hand to do as many repetitions as you can of triceps extensions. Biceps curls with your resistance band exercises require you to place both feet on the band and grasp each end with your hands.
