Be about 15 lbs underweight!

Hee, LMonet, I was thinking the same thing before I read your post - starve yourself and do a LOT of weight training, basically. Also, be prepared to live with a skinny, bony body (look at those collarbones - yikes). I think Jen Aniston could gain about 10 lbs. and look WAY better, but that's just me.

I absolutely agree.  But this isn't a 'real life body' - she looks great (and actually pretty normal) on TV but she probably looks much skinnier in person.  Kinda like when you think you're doing really well weight-wise, but then you see a picture of yourself and think "Day-um!  I look like that!?!".  If you always look 10 lbs heavier in a picture, then she looks 10 lbs heavier on TV than she looks in real life . . . . scary!

I think Jennifer Aniston looks great there, but I am one of those who likes skinny better without all the hard muscle.  To get those arms, you need a lot of cardio and a lot of reps with low weights.

good luck!!

damn, she does have perfect arms huh? there are websites that show celebrities' clothing but are there some that show there workout routines? I feel like my arms are bulking up, getting too muscular. i actually stopped doing bicep exercises cuz they are getting too big. I'm gonna try to work my shoulders, chest and triceps harder instead.

I think Krista might be coming from more of a bodybuilder perspective that says First - gain, build bulk, gain gain gain, build bulk Then - cut, eat lean, cut cut cut. Which I'm assuming you don't want to do. (it doesn't sound like fun to me at all )

When I joined a gym I started lifting weights and doing cardio but didn't change the way I ate (I eat a decent amount of a variety of food - good and "bad") and put on muscle without getting fatter. I mean, I gained weight, but I didn't gain fat. That won't be good if you aren't eating enough, though. I just looked at it as though I shouldn't use working out as an excuse to eat whatever the hell I wanted. But you do need energy for workouts and maintainign muscle, so you might not want to do exactly what I did, you know?

Also, since having muscle raises your metabolism, and lifting weights itself is a calorie-burning activity, I'm not sure why you'd need to get fat to gain muscle?

Here are lateral raises -

and front raises -


You can do rear raises for that sexy shoulder blade muscle look -


I hate that guy and how he swing the weights around all the time, but that's the general movement. I would focus on isolating the muscles you're trying to work (unlike that clown.)
