While swimming is a well-known celebrity favorite, many are now doing more than laps. Water-based resistance training, using tools like aqua-bells or simply the resistance of the water itself, has become a go-to for stars like Jennifer Aniston and Tom Hanks. It's a complete workout that builds muscle and cardiovascular fitness without the stress on joints that comes with land-based exercise. The water's buoyancy provides a safe environment for high-intensity moves and full-body circuits, and the constant resistance ensures every movement is an effort. It’s the ultimate zero-impact workout, offering a full-body burn that’s as restorative as it is challenging.

Often associated with barre workouts, the plié squat is a favorite among stars like Margot Robbie and Natalie Portman for its ability to build strong, toned legs without excessive bulk. This graceful movement targets the glutes, quads, and inner thighs while also improving balance and core stability. It's a low-impact, high-repetition exercise that can be done anywhere, making it a powerful tool for sculpting the lower body and enhancing posture. The plié squat's elegance belies its effectiveness, proving that a celebrity-worthy physique can be built with grace as well as grit.
