Work It Out! Stars' Secrets to Shaping Up

Jennifer Garner

Actress Jennifer Garner hit the red carpet with her husband this awards season for the first time in nearly five years. The mother of three (Violet, 7, Seraphina, 4, and Samuel, 11 months) has preferred to keep a low profile as a stay-at-home mom recently, but with her husband's (Ben Affleck) new film Argo she knew she'd be back in the limelight. To get red-carpet ready, Garner ramped up her usual routine of yoga for extra definition and toning according to Self.com. The 40-year-old actress' tight abs, muscular arms and overall slim figure have already been downright inspiring -- we can't wait to see what she pulls off for the Oscars! If regular yoga doesn't provide enough of a challenge, kick things up a notch by incorporating cork blocks. "I designed these exercises on blocks to throw you off balance, which forces your abs to kick in to help you stabilize," New York City trainer Terri Walsh says.
