Celebrity fitness secrets--revealed!

Jessica Simpson's lean, long legs, Sheryl Crowe's sculpted arms, Angelina Jolie's, well, everything . . . What's the secret to these celebs' buff bodies? It's not genetics, and it's not luck: They work hard for their beautiful physiques under top Hollywood trainers, and now you can too!

In The A-List Workout, ten of the most in-demand celebrity trainers have come together to give you their favorite exercise plans and tips--the same advice superstars pay top dollar to get. Each trainer outlines easy-to-follow plans that target a specific body part--abs, legs, butt, arms, and more--and then each plan is synthesized into full-body workouts for beginners, all-over toning, trouble-zone busting, or weight loss. With The A-List Workout, you'll get your dream body by learning how to:

• Set realistic, attainable goals to keep you motivated
• Design a fitness plan that fits in with your busy schedule
• Save money by using common household items for workouts
• Target a specific problem zone, such as your butt or thighs
• Begin an exercise program--even if you've never worked out before
