How Jessica Simpson buffs up

For the role of Daisy Duke in the upcoming film "The Dukes of
Hazzard," we wanted Jessica Simpson to have a lean, toned look in
those short shorts. So we focused a lot on resistance training,
particularly with lower body exercises like lunges and squats to shape
up the buttocks, hamstrings and thighs. The training schedule was
intense. Jessica worked out four to six days a week prior to the shoot
and three to four days a week during filming. Workouts generally
consisted of 45 minutes of strength training followed by 30 to 45
minutes of cardio (such as jogging on a treadmill or using an
elliptical trainer).
If you're hoping to firm up your backside like Jessica did, try
starting with a three-day-a-week workout that consists of
cardiovascular exercise plus the following strength activities:
*Squats: Stand with your feet apart, slightly wider than your hips,
and your arms out in front of you, parallel to the ground with one
hand on top of the other. Keeping your heels flat on the ground and
your torso leaning slightly forward, squat down as though you are
sitting, then straighten up again. Repeat 25 times.
*Lunges: From a standing position, lunge forward with your right foot
until your thighs are parallel to the floor, then straighten back up.
Repeat 15 times and then switch legs.
*Leg extensions: Start with your hands and knees on the floor. Next,
straighten your right leg behind you until it is fully extended and
parallel to the floor. Bring the leg back to the starting position.
Repeat 15 times and then switch legs.
*Step-ups: Stand facing a step that is about a foot higher than the
ground. Step up on the step with the right leg and then back down.
Repeat 15 times and then switch legs.

weights are imperative for keeping your body young. resistance
training builds muscles around your joints and will keep your
flexibility and range of motion (being able to reach the top shelf of
your cupboards). i would talk to your doctor about what weight
exercises would be good for you based on your overall health and
fitness. :)
