How Does Eva Longoria Workout?
The star has her personal trainer come over for an early morning workout three times a week. Before she starts her workout she does 10 minutes on the treadmill. "Each session we do between 25 and 30 total-body exercises-lunges with torso twists and one-legged squats with clean and press, for example-with 30- to 45-second rests in between," says Patrick.
Eva's dedication to gym and her body has certainly paid off. "With all the lunges, squats and leg presses I've done in the last two months, I think I've gained an inch of muscle in my butt."
