Celeb Fit Tip of the Day: Megan Fox's Workout

Megan Fox's Body

I had to do a Megan Fox post because I, personally, have a girl crush on her and she is one of today's hottest celebs. Megan is one of those naturally skinny girls we all love to hate, but her taught figure still requires a lot of work (I never believe celebs who claim to "never workout" and "eat whatever they want to"). Megan has been quoted to saying she doesn't eat, and that her toned stomach comes from lots of pilates. For Jennifer's Body, Megan admitted to basically starving herself, which worked for her but left her at an alarming 99 pounds. In order to get in proper shape for the Transformer's sequel, Megan had to train to get a fab figure with toned curves. Personally, I think she looks 100X better in Transformers than she did with a waif-like figure in Jennifer's Body (see pics below). Here's how to get a tight and toned body according to Megan's personal trainer, who whipped her into shape (as if she was ever out of shape) for Transformer's 2.

Megan Fox's Workout Routine

Begin your workout with ab strength training. What a lot of people don't realize is that it is much more beneficial to start with weight training prior to cardio (I used to always end workouts with ab circuits). Why is this method more effective? Because you are working to release fatty cells from your body, then burning them off by following up with interval cardio. Here is the routine: 



Ab Circuit: 15-20 minutes
Crunches: 30 seconds                       

Hyperextensions: 30 seconds           

Leg Raises: 30 seconds                   

Supermans: 30 seconds                

Side Crunches: 60 seconds            

Leg Lifts: 30 seconds                    

Front Plank: 30 seconds                 

Side Plank: 30 seconds (ea. side)   

Try to take as few breaks as possible between each circuit. Once you complete all five minutes, rest for 90 seconds, then repeat entire circuit two more times for a total of 3 reps. 

Cardio: 30 minutes

Stationary Bicycle Version:

• Warm Up: Low Resistance of 3 - 2 minutes
• Increase Resistance to 10 - Sprint for 1 minute
• Decrease to Low/Med Resistance of 5-7 - 2 minutes
• Increase Resistance to 12 - Sprint for 45 seconds
• Decrease to Low/Med Resistance of 5-7 - 2 minutes 15 seconds
• Increase Resistance to 15 - Sprint for 30 seconds
• Decrease to Low/Med Resistance of 5-7 - 1 minutes 30 seconds

Repeat circuit two more times for a total of 30 minutes. 

Treadmill Version:

• Warm Up: Walk at Low Speed 3-4, Incline at 5 - 2 minutes
• Increase Incline to 15 - 1 minute
• Decrease Incline to 1, Increase Speed to Medium 5-6 - 2 minutes
• Decrease Incline to 0, Increase Speed to Sprint - 1 minute
• Increase Incline to 15, Decrease Speed to 3-4 - 1 minute
• Decrease Incline to 1, Increase Speed to 5-6 - 2 minutes
• Decrease Incline to 0, Increase Speed to Sprint - 1 minute

Repeat circuit two more time for a total of 20 minutes.  

This takes a lot of dedication, but isn't overly time consuming! Repeat workout 3-5 times a week, and pair with healthy eating for maximum results.
