Today’s media has put a lot of emphasis on health and so called “sexy bodies.” It seems that the Hollywood celebrities are able to get a hold of the latest workouts and exercises; which leaves the rest of us in the dark. Well, I have researched a few secrets that the “celebs” take advantage of. Below is a list of the featured celebrity fitness tips.
1. Hit the road – Secret one is all about hitting the road. Penelope Cruz takes advantage of the open road for her fitness needs rather than being cooped up inside the gym.

4. Sports – Secret four, par four, celebrity Catherine Zeta-Jones secret is that she enjoys a round of golf to fulfill her fitness needs. Walking a round of golf is not only fun and relaxing, but burns a couple hundred calories per hour as well.
