Courteney Cox Arquette fights time with exercise

Healthy Aging, Fitness, Celebs & Entertainment


We all know Courteney Cox Arquette is beautiful. She's a former model and once landed on the cover of People magazine's Most Beautiful People issue. But what might surprise you is that even a stunner like Cox Arquette is feeling the effects of time marching on. So what does she do to fight Father Time? She exercises.

Cox Arquette isn't unrealistic about her looks. She said, "People who read a magazine can look at the picture and go, 'She looks great for over 40!' But guess what? That's not what I look like. Lighting is everything. When you're in your car and you look in the mirror and the sun's beaming in, you're like, 'Wow, times are getting tough.'" Personally, I think it's refreshing to hear celebs state the problems we all have. I certainly don't have make-up artists and professional photographers snapping shots of me -- but I know I've had days when things looked pretty good in my bathroom mirror, but then all the age lines and pores showed up in the light of day.

Cox Arquette fights back against the natural signs of age with cardio and weight-training five times a week. She enjoys running, hiking, and doing total-body exercises.

We all have those problem areas, don't we? Spots that we'd really like to focus on, tone up, and strengthen. Women's Health has taken some of the guesswork out of the exercise selection process with this great tool.

First you choose which part of your body you'd like to focus on: Core, Upper, Lower, or Total. The system will then suggest 12-20 exercises that you can do. Click on each exercise to review -- the tool shows you the exercise in motion and gives instruction. When you decide you want to add one just click "add exercise." What's really nice is the system will automatically remove exercise choices that are similar to one you've already selected. That way, you can be sure you're getting a well-rounded workout.
