Whether you're just getting back in shape after having a baby or seeking a bikini body routine, you'll WANT to follow Jessica Alba's own shape up regimen. Trust us, before you know it you'll be the envy of every woman on the beach this summer!
Jessica's diet: Alba has said that she has never been a fan of diets because they sound "temporary" and instead opts for eating mostly clean. She told Self magazine during an interview: "Diets are for the birds. I think you have to eat in a way that makes you feel your best. I include a lot of vegetables and lean protein and fruit and grains in my diet."
Jessica's workout routine: Alba has admitted that she hates going to the gym and needs countless things to distract her there, but when she needs help to shape up fast, she turns to her personal trainer, Ramona Braganza. Bragranza has worked with Alba since she was 17 and shared with Celebuzz the 3-2-1 training method the movie star does to remain in shape. Below are some important moves through her fitness routine:
1. Cardio: Start with a 5 to 10 minute warm up, such as a jog, to get your blood pumping and avoid injuries.
2. Circuit I: Using exercises that include the legs (they burn the most calories because they are the largest muscle group).Think squat jumps, and exercises with weights like squats to shoulder press.
3. Cardio II: Up the intensity here a bit–you can add intervals to your elliptical or sprint on your treadmill for 10 minutes.
4. Circuit II: If the first set was focused on the lower body, work the upper body next. This is meant to keep the heart rate up.
5. Cardio III: Repeat the prior cardio exercise once more. Push yourself despite your exhaustion at this point.
6. Core: Finally, you need to work your abs. Mix it up by adding some planks, standing isolations, and back extensions.
