When you look at your favourite celebrities on the television or in the magazines, you cannot help but admire their amazing physiques, right?

Well, most of us may have already realised by now that these celebrities are not born with great physiques and they must work extremely hard to attain such amazing bodies.

Also, you cannot have a great figure overnight; it requires a lot of time and effort.

Most of these celebrities exercise for more than 2 hours every day and stick to strict diet regimes to attain a desirable physique.

So, if we want to be fit and toned, we must make a conscious effort towards it.

Now, there is a popular myth that says only modern exercise routines like weight-lifting, zumba, kickboxing, etc., can help you attain a toned figure.
