WORKOUT ROUTINE:
“I do a lot of Pilates, kick boxing and weight training in L.A. and when I’m in Austin I run or ride a bike,” says Bullock who splits her time between L.A. and her Texas Ranch. The lovely comedic actress doesn’t shy away from variety; she mixes up her fitness routine. The variety of fitness activities helps Sandra stay motivated and keeps workout boredom at bay.Bullock’s L.A.-based trainer, Eden Paul, trained with Bullock 3-4 days a week to prepare her for The Proposal. “She wanted to emulate her character and look buff and smashing in suits,” Paul says.

This just makes us want to adopt her work hard, play hard routine. “We love to incorporate plyometrics, weights, Pilates and boxing. ” Bullock says the variety keeps her workout regime fresh and helps her maintain motivation to stay healthy and fit, but don’t think that’s her only incentive. “People ask, ‘How do actresses do it?’ Um, they pay us to do this in order to look good on film.”
Work your whole body with a 35 minute circuit. It is recommended that you warm up for 4 to 5 minutes on the treadmill before doing this workout:
• Alternate three sets of 20 standing squats with three sets of push ups (as many as you can do in good form).
• Alternate three sets of 20 reverse lunges with three sets of 15 dumbbell dead lifts (Squat with dumbbells in each hand. Make sure your back is flat and knees don’t reach past your toes).
• Alternate three sets of 15 side lunges (alternate sides) with three sets of 20 dumbbell bicep curls to shoulder press (with palms up curl dumbbells into your chest keeping your elbows close to your sides, press dumbbells up, bring your arms back down, reverse curl and repeat).
• Lie face up in a crunch position (legs in the air, spine flat on the ground) and scissor kick the legs for as many seconds as you can in good form. Rest and repeat three times.
The Diet:
Sandra uses some easy diet plans that anyone can do. “Last night I had brown rice and black beans and some steamed vegetables so today I’m going to have all kinds of good stuff! I love sweets, like Viennese pastry, raw cookie dough, or a nice bowl of Lucky Charms with milk that I eat in bed watching SNL. That’s heaven right there,” says Sandra, who balances her healthy diet with one “cheat day” each week- from Friday night to Saturday night.
I really changed my eating habits, from pizza and Diet Coke to something like maybe a piece of chicken and some vegetables on the side.”
Sandra eats what she wants, but tries to stay away from junk food until the weekend. She eats a balanced diet and uses portion control to stay slim.
About the yo-yo dieting when she was younger - “I’m going to get really fat.” ‘Then I’m going to complain about how fat I’ve got, then I’ll have to go on a diet, then I’ll complain about being on a diet. It’s just a vicious circle. I’ve been a junk food junkie most of my life.’

Here are the key elements of the NBA jump training.
1. Jump Squats! Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands behind your head. Bend your knees and crouch so that your legs are parallel with the floor. Now jump as high as you can, keeping your back straight and your hands behind your head. Instantly when your feet touch the ground, repeat the whole process. Do about 20 jumps, 3 times or until you cannot do anymore.
2. Stairs! This is easy and effective. Start by simply running up the stairs and walk back down. Then run up the stairs skipping a stair with each step. Then Hop with both feet up the stairs. Ten Hop on 1 foot up the stairs. All of these exercises work your calves tremendously, which is a huge part in jump height. Do these workouts every day.
3. Sprints! Sprints are much more effective in improving jump height than long distance running. Sprints force your muscle to become much more explosive. Do at least 5 sprints, 100 yards long, every day. You will see your quickness begin to skyrocket and you will start jumping higher in no time.
