1. Jessica Alba : Yoga, martial arts and more
I attribute my athletic body to the martial arts, gymnastics, dance, and strength training I did while filming Dark Angel. That’s made me strong and really set the bar," Jessica Alba said to Shape, "When I only have 30 minutes, I’ll do a series of burpees, mountain climbers, squat jumps, planks, and a few sun salutations. But I’m not going to lie. Working out sucks. Which is why I love taking classes, because I’m surrounded by other people and that keeps me motivated and accountable. These days, I do power yoga with light weights in a 105-degree room, so it’s a mix of hot yoga and strength training. I also spin. The key for me is good music, like 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Beyoncé."
2. Mario Lopez: Boxing
Find something you love to do and fight to improve each day. If you love to play at it, you'll work hard at it,"Mario Lopez shared with Body Building."You know, staying healthy is a top-of-mind thing for me. It's woven into my DNA, I guess you could say. I just feel I'm at my best at work and at play when I'm taking care of myself physically. And I'm never satisfied, I think that helps. I always want to improve and get better. Whether I'm boxing, running or lifting weights, each day I look for a challenge and get after it.
3. Shakira: Dancing
"I did Zumba throughout my pregnancy," Shakira said to SELF."That helped me not gain too much weight." After she had her first baby she danced four to five mornings a week and even trained privately with its creator and CEO, Beto Perez, for a week.
4. Ricky Martin: Capoeira
The singer has exposed himself as a capoeira dancer to find personal peace, Martin said, “took me around the world. I went to India and studied yoga. After that I did capoeira. Before that I became a strict Catholic, I was even an altar boy. I’ve always been searching and once again it’s all about being well with yourself. Looking yourself in the mirror and being happy with who you are.”
5. JLo: Cardio
Jennifer Lopez credits her fit figure to several methods of exercise including running, stair master and biking. "I eat right and exercise! I put in the work like everyone else," Lopez, told PEOPLE, adding that her routine includes circuit training, cardio and workouts by celeb trainer Tracy Anderson. "You have to switch it up to keep your body and yourself fresh."
6. Zoe Saldana: Running
"Your body changes dramatically, inside and out. You grow in places you never knew you could, and you are tired beyond belief. In some cases more than others, your body experiences a kind of trauma through childbirth that is difficult to explain unless you've had that experience," Zoe wrote in a post, accompanied by a photo of the star running on a treadmill. "My case was like that, everything from my thyroid to my platelets crashed. Thank God, we are all doing great now, but my body was really bent out of shape after the boys were born.
7. Demi Lovato : SoulCycle
When Lovato was in tour with Christina Perri she revealed that they are both huge fans of SoulCycle, "so we actually brought bikes with us," the singer said. "Christina's taken a ton of classes, and she tells me what to do. It's superfun, and we usually drink a green juice or protein shake afterward and talk. It's nice to get some quality girl time in, too."
