DEFY YOUR AGE
What’s Courteney Cox Arquette’s secret to turning back the clock? Cardio and weight-training sessions five times a week. “After you turn 25, women start to lose muscle mass and your metabolism lowers,” explains Arquette’s trainer, Michelle Lovitt. “You basically offset age with exercise.” The 44-year-old, who has daughter Coco, 4, retains her muscle mass by running, hiking and doing total-body exercises, including squats with a punch. “She just wants to be a fit and healthy mom.” Learn some moves to age-proof your body on Health.com. – Jenny Sundel

WALK THE PLANK
To tone up for her upcoming guest-starring role on CSI: NY, former Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari turned to trainer Eric Paskel. “Her goals are to define her arms, particularly her triceps and shoulders,” says Paskel, who taught her the alligator push-up. “Start in a plank pose and lower down, just hovering above the ground and using hand and feet, walk yourself forward three steps and three steps back. It hits the triceps in a way gym equipment can’t.” Work your muscles with Health.com’s 15-minute total-body workout – Serena Kappes
