While spanning the world to promote box office topper 'Iron Man 2,' Gwyneth Paltrow
has been repeatedly asked how she got toned to portray the slender
Pepper Potts. The actress blogged about her intense core exercise
routine and her daily nutritional menu.
Calling the aerobics "arduous," Gwyneth
has made the routine available for fans to achieve the same lean figure
of her character. "I asked my business partner and trainer Tracy Anderson
if she would share with us the terrifically difficult leg series she
made for me to do during the filming of the movie," she said. "This 26
minute long video was an amazing start for getting the butt and legs I had always hoped for."
Do not be fooled. That is not all it
takes to transform into Pepper Potts. This series of exercises is the
grand finale. Preceding it, Gwyneth endured a 45 minute dance cardio
workout and arm drills. She stressed that eating habits are also key,
adding, "I followed her strict diet for five days to lose my extra
winter weight."
Gwyneth admits that she did not commit
to this super health-conscience lifestyle forever and sometimes resorts
to this crash diet to be red carpet ready. "Now, I am not a good dieter
and I cannot ever do it for long, only when there is a goal in sight,
which there was in this case. This regime got me into the shape of my
life and I continue to return to it when I have a specific event so
that I can do ridiculous things like be a 37 year old mother of two and
wear shorts!"
To see Gwyneth in tip-top shape, watch 'Iron Man 2,' in theaters now.
Happy getting those hot legs!
