If you're looking for motivation to get your butt to the gym, often you don't have to look further than the nearest celebrity gossip magazine. Yep, it's the jobs of celebs to look good on the red carpet, and they definitely excel at it. Well, most of them. Of course, the ones who are the most fit get our seal of approval.

And, as we wind down 2008, we wanted to know who your favourite fit celeb of the past year was. Here are your top three picks:

• Kelly Ripa, who admitted to working out every day this year, got 18 percent of the votes.
• Jennifer Lopez, who ran a triathlon after giving birth to twins, scored 15 percent.
• And Hugh Jackman, who was too blindingly gorgeous for us to even care what his workout was, also had 15 percent of the votes.
  

All excellent choices. Thanks for your input!

Here at That's Fit, we're constantly telling you what we think about things, but sometimes it's nice to know what you think. So from time to time, we'll ask you a question. Don't be afraid to speak up -- we love feedback.

The year 2008 was a good one for many celebs -- some slimmed down, some shaped up, some just made some plain old positive changes in their lives and the world. The following fit celebs were some of our favourites to follow this year -- who was on your list?

According to People magazine's December 1 issue touting the "Sexiest Man Alive," the guys in this gallery have the best chests in Hollywood. I have to admit, they've done a really great job of choosing the winners in this category. The only one I can think of who may have been wrongfully left out is 50 Cent. But a ton of other hottie bodies were included, so we'll forgive the People folks for that oversight.

If you'd like to develop your chest to look like hard, rounded mounds of muscle, try some of the advanced push-ups in this video.

Hugh Jackman was just named "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine, and with good reason. According to his Australia co-star, Nicole Kidman, "Women's jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room."

Jackman didn't always look like the uber-hottie he is now -- in fact, when he was a kid, his legs were so skinny that his nickname was Sticks. Maybe that's part of the motivation behind his wicked hard workouts.

While preparing for his role as Wolverine in X-Men: The Last Stand, Jackman was able to bench 315 pounds and leg press 1,000 pounds, and it showed on his 6'2" frame. He's still incredibly muscular, but has also become more flexible, which is important since he does most of his own stunts. In fact, he trained daily doing yoga for a full year in order to hold the lotus pose long enough for a certain scene in The Fountain.
