We reveal how to get the enviable physiques of the stars.

This week: Halle Berry's waist.

Halle Berry, 47, is regarded as one of the fittest women in Hollywood, and keeps up her exercise regimen despite running around after her two children.

Halle does cardio work, kickboxing, hill-walking or stair running, free weights and core strengthening

Five days a week, she does a 25-minute, high-intensity session with a personal trainer - including cardio work, kickboxing, hill-walking or stair running, free weights and core strengthening.

The tough sessions are the equivalent of an hour-long workout at a more sedate pace.

What to try:

The standing oblique flexion targets the oblique and abdominal muscles around the waist.

With a dumbbell or bottle of water in each hand, stand with feet shoulder-width apart and elbows slightly bent with palms (and the weights) facing inwards.

Keep your abs tight and slowly slide the right weight down the outside of the right thigh as far as you can, bending the torso from the waist but keeping the hips square to the front.

Hold for two seconds, then slowly draw back. Repeat 12 times on each side.
