Angelina Jolie has one of the most desired physiques in the world, which has allowed her to play roles such as tomb raider. But how does she do it? She probably spends hours a day working out with personal trainers to look like that, right? Wrong.

Angelina Joile’s workouts consist of compound exercises grouped together in a paired-circuit format.  For example;

Shoulder Press and Squats

Press Ups and Lunges.

So she would do 1 set of shoulder press directly followed by 1 set of squats. She would then take a brief rest (30 seconds) before doing a set of press ups directly followed by a set of lunges.

She would then take a further 1 minute rest and complete the process again. The rep range depends on the exercise, but when possible she keeps the reps (number of repetitions) below 12.

Not that crazy really is it? In fact there is nothing you couldn’t do right now in your own home if you wanted to.

There is no special sequence for the exercises. Just make sure the exercises you pair together aren’t too similar. For example, pairing squats with lunges wouldn’t work as you would be overworking the same muscles without rest.

You will also notice the exercises she does are compound, total body exercises. I.E. No silly crunches or bicep curls!

In my view there is an air of ‘unattainability’ about celebrities and their bodies. But the truth is, by exercising in the right way you can look just as good as them.
