Keep Changing Your Routine
Tracy's top trick is to continuously change your workout routine, that way your muscles always keep guessing and your body doesn't get stuck in one regime.

Train Six Times a Week
Not for the faint-hearted, if you really want to see results in the same stratosphere as Gwynnie and Madonna, Tracy says you've got to put in the time and asks her clients to show dedication. But don't panic, her top tip is to choose low-tech workout exercises and suggests loading up your iPod with half an hour of your favourite tracks, then running for one song, skipping for another and sprinting for the third. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/163095/gwyneth-paltrow.html
Arms
Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart, arms extended out to the side, hands in a thumbs-up position. Extend your arms back while you push your chest out, then return to the original position for two reps. Switch your hands position to thumbs down and repeat for two reps. Repeat 100-300 times per workout. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/163095/gwyneth-paltrow.html

Legs
Start on all fours. Bring one bent knee under your shoulder, then, keeping the leg in the air, extend it back to a straightened position, then bring it back towards the shoulder. Perform 50 reps for each leg. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/163095/gwyneth-paltrow.html
Back
Standing with legs shoulder-width apart, extend your arms out to the side, slightly bending your elbows towards the floor with the palms of your hands facing your ears. Move your arms backwards so that your chest moves forward, and try to move your shoulder blades towards each other for 100 reps. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/163095/gwyneth-paltrow.html
Backside
On all fours, extend one leg straight behind you, then slightly bend the knee with the outside of the foot facing the ceiling. Lift/pulse foot to the ceiling for 100 reps each leg. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/163095/gwyneth-paltrow.html
Stomach
Lie flat on your back, with your hands supporting your neck and head. Keeping your feet together, extend your legs 45 degrees to the left and crunch up. Holding the crunch position, gently touch each heel in turn to the ground as you move your legs gradually towards the right. Each heel should have touched the ground six times by the time youve moved your legs as far as you can to the right. Then repeat, this time moving your legs to the left. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/163095/gwyneth-paltrow.html
Chest
Lie flat on the floor on your stomach, with your legs together and arms extended out to the side in a T position, palms facing the ceiling. Lift your arms to the sky as high as you can and flick your wrists at the top. Do three sets of 100. http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/a-z/163095/gwyneth-paltrow.html
Proof is in the Pudding
Following Gwyneth's body makeover, rumours abound the star is set to produce her own workout DVD. However the 35-year-old does stress that she owes everything to Tracy Anderson. 'It's no accident,' says Gwyneth of her new look. Speaking on the Oprah show she admitted: 'I just can't do it. I just cannot diet. It's worth it to me to do that extra exercise so I can eat what I want and not think about it.' So if you're won over by the miracle workout go click below to snap up her DVD now. http://www.tracyandersonmethod.com/
