Diminutive actress Eva Longoria is a role model for millions of women around the world who want to look as effortlessly good as she always does. The always stylish star has made quite a name for herself for how toned her body is, yet without being too skinny and this, understandably, has made many wonder about her workout routine. The secret is in regular cardio and weight training sessions, How Celebrities Lose Weight says.

As Gabrielle on the hit show “Desperate Housewives,” Mrs. Longoria Parker is anything but shy when it comes to showing off her incredibly toned body, as fans must surely know. A former gymnast, the actress has never had any serious issues with her weight but, still, she does have to work out regularly to make sure she looks her best for the camera. With the help of trainer Aimet Victoria, Longoria hits the gym at least three times a week to work on her problem areas and stay in shape.

“Eva also got a new trainer, Aimet Victoria who had had her doing cardio and strength workouts three to four times a week. Eva hits the gym four times a week to do exercise to lose weight for an hour each session. She knows that regular weight loss exercises are the best way to lose body fat,” HCLW says. Because she tends to get bored pretty quickly, Eva is always pressing her trainer to change her routines constantly so that she never loses interest.

“Eva reportedly participates in kickboxing and weight training sessions regularly. Kickboxing is a high intensity losing weight exercise that can help you burn up to 400 calories per hour. It does not only give her fat burning benefits but it also helps firm and tone her muscles with all the kicking and punching that she has to do. Her kickboxing combined with weight lifting are fast ways to lose weight,” HCLW further says of Longoria’s workout plan.

One area of her body that the actress focuses on in particular is her arms. To avoid saggy upper arms, Eva Longoria does a series of exercises meant to tone them so that she always looks stunning when on the red carpet in a fancy strappy gown, like slow curls, dips, and curls and presses.
