When Girl Meets 30

Minka Kelly Voted Hottest Body – Her Secrets

June 13, 2011 By Erin Kennedy 1 Comment

 

Minka Kelly, 30, was just voted as best body in Hollywood. Minka beat out other starletts with amazing bodies like Jennifer Aniston and Blake Lively. Minka just stared in the movie The Roommate and shared her staying in shape secrets, so we can all get there, right?


“It’s essential to combine a healthy diet (avoid these 4 diet mistakes) with exercise. Eating regularly and staying hydrated throughout the day keeps your metabolism cranking,” says Braganza, who recommends eating three meals and two snacks daily. “Make sure your meals and snacks include lean proteins, complex carbs, plenty of fruits and vegetables, and lots of good fats.”

Braganza stresses that although a good workout is important, eating right is 50 percent of the equation. Check out the moves below to sculpt your body in all the right places.

LEGS

The Move: Curtsies with Weights

Tip: Any move that involves stepping across your body will target more than just the main muscle groups in your legs.

Instructions: Stand with feet hip-width apart and hold a 5-lb dumbbell in each hand by your sides. Step back on a diagonal with your right leg as you bend your left knee, reaching arms to the ground with the dumbbells. Try to keep your back leg straight in a lunge and drop your butt down as far as possible. Return to standing. Repeat on same side.

Reps: 10 on each side, then switch legs. Repeat 2-3 times.

ABS

The Move: Plank with a Twist

Tip: “To achieve Minka’s flat abs and small waist, remember to train your entire core, including your obliques,” says Braganza.

Instructions: Planks are the best way to take your ab workout to the next level. While you’re in plank position (on your toes and forearms, your body in a straight line), add in a twist. Drop your right hip to the ground, then your left.

Reps: Keep alternating for 10 reps, rest, then repeat 2-3 times.

BUTT

The Move: Deadlifts

Tip: “Minka’s butt has definition, which can be achieved by doing exercises that target hamstrings along with glutes,” says Braganza.

Instructions: Stand with feet hip-width apart and hold a pair of 10-lb dumbbells against your thighs. Keeping your back straight and your knees slightly bent, hinge forward and lower the weights. Lower only as far as you comfortably can, then as you squeeze your glutes, raise the dumbbells back to starting position.

Reps: 2-3 sets of 20.

    Interesting. I recently started paying closer attention to my daily food intake. I got the workout thing down pat, but eating right is my daily struggle. Thanks for sharing this!
