25 Minutes to Look Like Katherine Heigl

I read that Katherine Heigl (of 27 Dresses and Knocked Up fame) followed a workout regime that was 25-50 minutes long. Her trainer was (don't know if he still is) Harley Pasternak. He's the Canadian that wrote 5 Factor Fitness. He has a newer book, which I didn't like as much because it required more equipment.

I am able to follow the plan he laid out in 5 Factor Fitness with a set of 5, 8, and 10 lb. weights. Each day you do one leg, one arm, and one ab exercise which lasts 15 minutes. Then I walk for about 25 minutes. If you're the type of person who gets bored easily, this routine might not be for you. However, I like the repetition of it because I don't have to think.

Typical Workout for Heigl:
• 5 minutes of jump-roping, jogging, or stair-climbing for a cardio warm-up.
A circuit of 4 sets each of the following:
• 25 dumbbell flies
• 25 lunges
• 25 low-body crunches
Followed by:
• 5-25 minutes of cardio running, elliptical training, stair-climbing or biking, with the last five minutes working as a cool-down period.
