You dont need to eat breakfast as soon as you get up. I do not think its important or necessary, Valerie reveals. The breakfast rules have been rewritten.

Motivation = success. You need to decide how bad you want it, Valerie says. That answer will determine your results.

Mix it up. Warming up is crucial, but boring. Mix stretching exercises in with the actual workout, so you are doing what you need to do and also having fun.

hey all do it Hollywood stars Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Biel have all turned to celebrity trainer Valerie Waters for a body transformation before a movie or big event. Now you can, too. Valerie has devised an amazing workout that will turn you from regular girl to red carpet-ready in just 10 days. Hot in a Hurry is a celebrity fitness regime created for women keen to look fabulous fast. The reason I called it Hot in a Hurry is I literally have clients who go, I have to be ready for a nude scene, movie or awards show in 10 days, says Valerie, also the inventor of the Valslide, a sliding-disc exercise tool (see www.valslide.com). While most of my programs work fast, theyre typically six weeks, at least. This is about speeding up the process without making people hate it and doing damage. Its the closest you can get to apersonal session with the woman whos responsible for the gorgeous figures of stars like Jennifer Garner (the most amazing person), Jennifer Lopez and Charlize Theron. I did it myself and lost three kilos, Valerie says. You could lose three kilos in 10 days. The plan lays out a series of circuit-training-style exercises which take 30 minutes, all up, to complete. You do a different circuit each day while following ahealthy eating plan. This is strength training 10days straight, but I mix it up, she explains. Youre not always hitting the same muscles. Your workouts will make you thinner, give you more muscle tone, lift your butt and flatten your abs.

This 30-minute circuit represents one day of the full 10-day workout. Do itthree times in a row and feel firmer fast. Stay open and keep your posture strong while youre training, Valerie says.

Get in a plank position, with your hands under your shoulders and your abs tight. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor, tucking your elbows tight to your torso. Press back up to the top position and repeat. Do 10.

Lie on your back with your knees bent, dumbbells in hands, arms straight and palms facing each other. Open wide, with a slight bend in the elbow, until your elbows touch the floor. Return to starting position to complete a rep. Do 15.

Get an A-List body

Jessica Biel trains with Valerie to get in shape for filming. Theyfocused on a specific butt workout... which obviously worked a treat!

The result, she insists, will be the best version of you. The other reason I call it Hot in a Hurry is that when youre in shape you feel hotter, you feel sexy, she says. In the process, that empowers you and gives you more confidence. Visit www.hotinahurry.com for more. Note: If you dont have dumbbells, you can use cans of food or full water bottles. Fitness balls (or Swiss balls) are sold at sports or department stores.
