How much is too much to spend on fitness? If you're Demi Moore, you'd think nothing of spending thousands. But what about six figures?

Hottest Celebs Over 40

    By AOL Health Editors

    Courteney Cox Arquette

    Our favorite 'Friend' and soulless tabloid journalist has only gotten better looking with age. Cox Arquette's secret weapon for those cut arms and toned legs? Tennis and Budokon, an intense workout integrating yoga, martial arts and meditation. Cox Arquette has also been said to use the Blood Type Diet.

    Kim Cattrall

    Our pick for sexiest of the 'Sex and the City' pack is also the oldest. And at 51, we think Kim Cattrall looks even more fabulous now than she did when the show first debuted. Cattrall has said that exercise is crucial for her and that without it she feels sluggish. When she can't make it to the gym for a 30-minute workout, she likes to walk.

    Daniel Craig

    How does hottie Daniel Craig get Bond buff? It's no surprise that there's a lot of weight lifting in his fitness routine. Craig has said that a routine centered around weights was the only way to bulk up in the short time he had to prepare for 'Casino Royale.' But for his next Bond venture, the 40-year-old stunning star is mixing up his heavy lifting routine with boxing and running.

    Madonna

    Madonna may be single-handedly responsible for helping yoga and Pilates go mainstream. With her enviable arms and taut abs, her body is a walking advertisement for the two fitness disciplines which she has long practiced. Her high water intake (3 liters a day) and strict diet that bans processed foods, alcohol, caffeine and dairy also helps keep the 49-year-old slim. But we're sure the two-hour sessions of dancing and hitting the Hybrid Body Reformer (a pulley-system machine) that she does six times a week don't hurt.

    Jamie Foxx

    The Jamie Foxx workout doesn't involve exclusive gyms or personal trainers. He keeps it simple. Every morning he does four sets of pushups, situps and crunches. But not all at once, mind you. He breaks up the workout with chores. A set of pushups. Brush teeth. One set of ab exercises. Take a shower. And so on. That way, he doesn't have to make time for exercise, it just part of his morning routine.

    Elizabeth Hurley

    As mothers around the globe know, kids will keep you young. Sexy Elizabeth Hurley, 42, credits her 6-year-old son, Damian for helping her keep fit and trim. "I don't do a lot of exercise," she says." As for her glamour, these days she says she doesn't mind a little airbrushing. Launching her new Elizabeth Hurley Beach line earlier this year, the model-actress-businesswoman said: "I like a certain amount of retouching, like anybody."

    Jamie Lee Curtis

    This soon-to-be 50-year-old is known for doing some pretty racy things with her body including showing off her lovely gray locks and bare top on this year's May/June issue of 'AARP The Magazine' (don't worry, it's PG) and gracing a 2002 cover of 'More' Magazine without any photo touchups. Curtis is adamant, however, that whatever goes into her body be healthy. This former alcohol addict gained weight after sobering up, but has since shed the pounds through cutting out foods that are high in sugar and white flour like crackers, breads and cereals, reports 'People.'

    Chris Noth

    We hear this sexy 53-year-old doesn't eat carbs after 5 pm, avoids pasta and drinking, and has given up beer altogether. He's a bit of a fitness buff too. To get back in shape for his role as Mr. Big on 'Sex and the City' movie, Noth told 'People' he needed to head to the gym. He reportedly enjoys running, playing basketball and lifting weights at the gym.

    Andie MacDowell

    This actress makes 50 look glamorous. She hasn't tapped into some secret fountain of youth -- that we know of. Instead, she fills her life with spirituality and peaceful activities like yoga, as well as healthy organic eating, according to an interview on 'Gaiam Life.' "Yoga has made a big change in my life. It can change your body -- make your tummy strong and all your muscles toned. But it has also helped me with old injuries and pains." An unlimited supply of L'Oreal products probably hasn't hurt either.

    Sheryl Crow

    This Grammy winner is nearly as famous for her albums as she is for her show-stopping body. At 46, Sheryl Crow has made many personal triumphs -- beating breast cancer, adopting a child -- and has shown the world what resilience looks like. Crow has said that exercising and eating a healthy diet are just as important to feeling good as are meditation and relaxation.

According to recent reports, the actress spends well over six figures annually on her fitness regime. This includes the cost of personal trainers, equipment and gear and covers a multitude of activities like Pilates, circuit training and weights. Sources say she's determined to be in the best shape possible, even if that means spending enough money to feed a small country for a decade.

Well, it's working for her because she looks fantastic. What do you think?

Is six figures too much to spend on fitness?

Susan Lucci Loves Malibu Pilates

Susan Lucci
Susan Lucci, the first lady of soap operas for almost 40 years now (wow!) looks pretty good for 62, don't you think? She recently shared the secret to her hot bod on the Rachael Ray Show, and no, it's not regular visits to the plastic surgeon (well, it could be but that's not what we're talking about right now). Lucci admits that Pilates is what keeps her in tip top shape. And considering she's been doing it for 14 years, I'm guessing she's pretty good at it by now.

Here's what Lucci had to say about her workout: "The greatest thing is that it introduces cardio to a traditional pilates workout, so you are lengthening, toning, sculpting really long, sexy lean muscles, and you're also getting that cardio workout. So you're multi-tasking -- it's the best use of your time ... and you're getting more stamina so you can you can go on Dancing with the Stars!

These days, Lucci is into Malibu Pilates -- as you might have gathered from the infomercial. And be sure to check out her video on Rachael Ray if you're interested in seeing just how she uses this 'Pilates chair.'

Christie BrinkleyDespite being 54 and having just gone through what must have been the worst year of her life, supermodel and mom extraordinaire somehow manages to look better than most women half her age. How does she do it?

According to People magazine, she credits her eating and fitness habits to her good looks: "Nutrition has always played a huge role in my life," Brinkley said in a recent interview. "I became a vegetarian when I was 13 and then got my entire family to become vegetarians. I have always been active my whole life. I genuinely enjoy sports and I spend time on my total gym."

Her positive attitude can't hurt either -- says Brinkley, the most recent poster girl for the Got Milk campaign, "I want to seize the day and take advantage of this year ... I am so energized."

Well, it's obviously working for her, don't you think?

Hugh Hefner Calls his Ex-Girlfriend Fat

Not to burst anyone's bubble or anything, but if you want to live in the Playboy Mansion, you gotta look hot. Gain a few and you'll face the wrath of the Hef. That's what his ex-girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson told US Weekly, anyway, in an interview with fellow ex-girlfriend Bridget Marquardt. "[I said] 'I'm getting kind of fat' and Hef Said 'yeah, there is a gym downstairs' ... I was crying so bad!"

Still, you won't see either Kendra or Bridget signing up for Jenny Craig anytime soon. "The word 'diet' is stupid and I don't believe it!" Wilkinson says, and 110-pound Marquardt adds, "It's a bad word." But they do believe in fitness. Kendra sweats it out at the gym, while Bridget loves Trapeze. "[I love it when] I've performed a trapeze routine and done a really great job. And even though I'm sweaty and nasty and gross from it, I just feel so accomplished and good."

Wanna know some other secrets of these Playboy pin-ups? Right here,
they dish on Hef, diets, fitness and everything in between.

Uma Thurman's In-Flight Yoga Routine

Uma ThurmanIf you happen to read the back section of the in-flight magazine, you'll notice that the airline advises you to stretch throughout the flight to keep the blood flowing. Usually, that means doing a few knee lifts while still buckled up in your seat, but it seems Uma Thurman recently took this advice a a little too literally.

The actress reportedly stunned fellow passengers when she started doing yoga in the aisle of a flight bound for Salt Lake City. Says one passenger, "Uma started doing yoga in the aisles. She used the flight-attendant station as a ballet barre, where she stretched and did plies for 20 minutes." The most ironic part of the this story? "After we left the plane, she ran for an exit and then chain-smoked like crazy." Ick.

Chain smoking aside, what do you think of yoga at 30,000 feet in the air? Bizarre or perfectly normal?

Emma Thompson Hires Madonna's Trainer

Emma Thompson is known more for her acclaimed acting than her killer bod, but maybe that's all about to change. The British legend recently hired Madonna's person trainer, Tracy Anderson, to help her shape up in time for the release of her new film with Dustin Hoffman, Last Chance Harvey.

"I'm not the sort of person... who can say 'I'm completely happy whatever shape I'm in," she recently said to More magazine. "That means I have to work hard to regain a shape I'm happy with, which is very feminine. I've never been a skinny monkey."

So what can Thompson expect when working out with Anderson? A lot of hard work. As Thompson says of her new routine, "It's a combination of stuff: cardio and running around until you start to sweat and go red in the face."

Jenna Fischer's New Year's Resolution

Jenna FischerTV's cutest secretary manages to look great, despite spending her time behind a desk at The Office. Jenna Fischer, aka Pam, recently shared her healthy habits with the folks at Health.com. "I tell myself that from Christmas to New Year's, I'm not going to worry about what's happening foodwise," she says. "The start of the year is an easy time to commit to a new health plan. If I know I'll be eating a lot around the holidays, I make sure I set up extra training sessions. And I'm fortunate to live in L.A., where I can go hiking and be active outside year-round."

But what about the rest of the year? Her goal is to avoid preservatives. "I spent two weeks in France last summer. I ate everything and came back 2 pounds lighter. Someone told me it's because of all the fresh food I had while I was there. So now I try to eat preservative-free."

She does treat herself every so often -- to sushi, her favourite meal. Sounds like my kinda girl.

Demi Resolves to Take It Eas(ier)

Demi MooreDemi Moore has always been known for her smokin' body, especially a few years ago when, at 41, she outshone her much-younger co-stars as the hottest star of 2003's Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. But her career has slowed down a bit since then ... has her workout schedule done the same?

You bet, says Demi in an interview with Britain's Hello magazine. "I must admit that I did nearly kill myself years ago, but I've not had that kind of time for quite a while. There was a time when I took on several film roles that made it absolutely necessary for me to be buff, but I took it a bit too far I think," said Moore. "I used to love running, but I have replaced that with brisk walking - it's less impact on the bones. I also do Pilates to stretch and elongate the muscles, and some light weights."

Good for her -- giving up a rigorous routine doesn't mean becoming a couch potato. If you want to take your workout down a notch, do what Demi did and replace it with some gentle exercises.

Elle - Stays in Shape With Cycling, Surfing

Filed under: Celebrities and Entertainment, We Love To Gawk At Fit Celebs


Elle MacPherson got the nickname 'The Body' for a reason -- because she's got the body we want, even as a 44-year-old mom. You know, it's really not fair that she looks better in a bathing suit than me, a 20-something non-mother, but whatever. The question is: What does she know that the rest of us don't?

Apparently, the hot-body secret she's hoarding to herself is not really a secret at all -- it's fitness. The stunner fits in activity with everything she does. For instance, she spent the recent holiday season surfing up a storm in her native Australia. And what about when she's back at home in Notting Hill, London, where surfing isn't an option? She and son Aurelius bicycle everywhere. "We have so much fun," Elle says of her cycling addiction, adding, "it helps keeps me in shape."

That settles it. As soon as this darn snow melts, I'm breaking out my bike.

Kelly Ripa Works Out Every. Single. Day.

I try to get some sort of exercise every day, but in reality, it's more like five times a week -- when it's not -20 out. So I'm pretty impressed with Kelly Ripa's recent admission that she never misses a workout. In a recent issue of OK magazine, Kelly told reporters, "I work out every day. I try never to take a day off. For me, one day leads to two days off, leads to five days off. I'm an all-or-nothing person."

As for finding time to work out? She says it's easier now that all her kids are in are in school but adds, "If you want something bad enough, you have to get up early and do it or wait until the kids go to bed. I go during lunch break."

Good for Kelly but if you're just starting a fitness regime for the first time come 2009, I would recommend giving yourself a day or two off. You can read more on Kelly's workout tips here, here and here.

Tom Cruise is Slimmer, Beckham to Blame?

Tom Cruise
Superstar actor and general nutbar Tom Cruise made a recent public appearance. That fact, in and of itself, certainly isn't news, but what caught the eyes of reporters was the fact that Cruise is looking slimmer than he has in the past few years. Weight Takes Years Off His Appearance, proclaims The Daily Mail and while scary skinny is never a good thing, in Tom's case, I have to agree.

So how has Tom trimmed down? With help from a friend, a very famously-fit friend. According to Healthy Hollywood, David Beckham has been helping Tom shape up in his home gym, and Tom's been sticking to strict diet of 1,200 calories a day, leading to a 10-pound weight loss in six weeks. No wonder -- 1,200 calories is not very much food.

Working out with David Beckham? Yes, please -- where do I sign up?

How 'Scrubs' Star Sarah Chalke Stays Slim

Sarah Chalke, best known for her work on Scrubs, has always been slender on-screen, but she doesn't look that way by accident, especially now.

Sarah ChalkeAfter turning 30, Chalke says, "I had to really keep up with working out. You can't get lax about it anymore." At 32, she's looking as great as ever, so it seems she's figured out what she's got to do.

Apparently, what she has to do is mix up her workout. "If I do one thing I would get way too bored," admits Chalke. And so, she shakes it up, hiking with Lola, her chocolate lab, doing yoga, and sweating it up with boot-camp workouts.

How about you? Did you notice a change in your metabolism at a certain age?

Isla Fisher Is Stunned That Pregnant Women's Bodies are Criticized

Every woman's body responds to pregnancy differently -- some stay reasonably slender through the third trimester, while others pack on the pounds immediately. Isla Fisher fell more into the latter category and was stunned to find her weight criticized while carrying her first child, Olive.

Isla Fisher"When I was pregnant, I remember someone wrote on a blog that I had gained too much weight. I remember being really shocked that even during something as incredible and beautiful as pregnancy, you are still subject to body fascism."

Isla gained 55 pounds during her pregnancy, but she shed the pounds pretty quickly, especially considering she didn't sweat them off at the gym. "I have never been a big fan of working out and I've never been a sporty person ... I've been blessed with good genes. My mum is little, and I'm fortunate that I don't like eating junk food. I just don't like the taste of it."

Jessica Alba - What Baby Weight?

Jessica Alba has looked fantastic at every public outing since giving birth to her first child in June, but none of that prepared the world for a calendar Alba posed in wearing swimwear, evening gowns and a whole lot of sex appeal. The calendar is for Campari, an alcoholic apertif. Maybe next time we'll see her posing in a campaign for fruits and veggies, which seems a little more up her ally!

Jessica AlbaWhile it's entirely likely that a decent amount of retouching went into the calendar (good grief, I hope so), there's no disputing she's looking hotter than ever, with an hourglass figure to die for. She's relied on a strict diet and exercise, as well as a personal trainer, but admits that she generally sticks to baggier duds these days.

"I'm usually walking around in comfy clothes, with a baby on my arm," the fit-but-curvy Alba says, adding that she enjoyed getting all dressed up. I think everyone else will enjoy it, too -- either for gawking purposes or, in my case, for motivation. I think I need some of the images taped to my gym bag!

Britney Spears Says Getting in Shape Took Hard Work

Britney Spears is looking great these days, but she wants to make sure everyone knows it didn't come easily. She told Glamour, "I have had to work hard at getting [my body] back to where it used to be. I used to be obsessed with working out ... But I can't get motivated right now because I'm so focused on my music."

Britney Spears at the 2008 Bambi AwardsWhether she says she's motivated to work out or not, she definitely has been working hard getting ready for her recent live performances. Dancing hasn't just gotten her in shape, but it's helped her emotionally. And, adjusting her eating (and drinking) habits has certainly helped. Still, she doesn't exactly look forward to working out.

"It isn't fun, so to do it every day would be horrible. Three days a week is cool, even two. It makes me feel good and feel like I've done something. It's important to take care of your body." She is even more aware of this now, after having two children, saying, "Recently, I started to appreciate my body a bit more from before I had kids."

The full interview will be in Glamour's January issue.
