Movie Star Workouts

Nichols's Routine

"She not only had to help get the bad guys, she had to do it in skin tight clothes, high heels, and with big hair!" says Waters. "Her body looked fierce."
TRY IT
"Action Hero Babe" Circuit #1
• Warm up with some leg swings and squats.
• 12 step-ups on each leg to a high step.
• 6-8 chin-ups (okay to use assistance).
• 10 "star push-ups" (five on each arm): At the height of the push-up, rotate to one side and raise opposite arm so it's perpendicular to your body and return.
• 12 "Valslide pushaways": Start in a push-up position with Valslides (see below) under your hands, then separate hands as much as possible and return.
• Repeat three times, resting 1-2 minutes in between.
