Anne Hathaway's Workout Secrets

Just a few years ago Anne Hathaway was playing an awkward teen-turned-heiress in a Disney movie and being praised for her "normal" body (that's Hollywood code for not skinny, folks). Today? She's racking up awards for her role in "Rachel Getting Married" and showing off a seriously svelte figure on the red carpet. She's lean and toned, and yet still totally feminine. It's the kind of body I wish I had, so I called up her trainer David Kirsch, founder and owner of the Madison Square Club and author of "The Ultimate New York Diet," to get the scoop on Anne's fitness routine.

Q: What's your typical workout with Anne like?
A: It's all about keeping workouts interesting and keeping her motivated. Doing the same thing everyday gets boring. So when she comes in I'll say 'Let's work on this today, or let's do that.' And if she has an event, like the Golden Globes and she's wearing certain kind of dress, we'll focus on a specific body part.

Q: With the Oscars just over a week away you guys must be doing daily training sessions to get her ready for that gown, right?
A: Actually she's traveling right now, so we're relying on her to follow my workout DVDs.

Q: Wow! I never really pictured a celeb doing a workout DVD in her hotel room in pajamas, but this sort of make me love her more! Tell me about the workouts.
A: She uses my Ultimate New York Body Plan and new my new DVD, 7 Day Prescription. The philosophy behind it was to create seven different workouts that can be done in 30 minutes and still give you a complete body workout. So, one day is power yoga, while another might be a mini boot camp. It's the same idea of beating boredom.

Q: So can you share a mini Anne Hathaway workout for me and all the That's Fit readers to follow at home?
A: Plie Squat with Hammer Curl Into a Should Press

1. Stand with your feet slightly wider than hips' distance apart. Turn your toes out and your heels in. Grasp a dumbbell in each hand, holding your hands at your sides, palms facing your hips.
2. Bring your body weight back into your heels as you bend your knees and squat down while pushing your butt out.
3. As you squat down, curl your arms up toward your shoulder, keeping elbows close to your sides.
4. Hold the plie squat as you press your arms overhead without fully locking out the elbows. Lower your arms in the reverse order that you raised them. Extend you legs and return to start.
5. Complete 20 -30 reps.
