I have seen the Golden Globe Awards this year, and I can’t help, but noticed Christina Aguilera in her fabulous strapless pink Versace gown that more than emphasized her enviably fit figure. Her trainer Tee Sorge reveals that all the dance rehearsals for the “Burlesque,” she also found the time to set and stick to a regular workout routine. This involves basic exercises that are meant to burn the calories and increase strength and resistance, the trainer says.

She starts her strength training sessions with a 10-minute warmup on the treadmill. It’s a great way to get the blood pumping before lifting weights. Get your heart rate up with my treadmill workout for beginners or the more advanced. Backward lunge with bicep curls: Trainer Tee Sorge says bicep curls are a great way to work Christina’s upper body: ‘Christina does three sets of each exercise and uses weights ranging from five to 15 pounds.’ During your next workout, change up a basic bicep curl and do 10 sets of this backward lunge with bicep curls.

Christina also does tricep dips. Tee says that Christina is strength training two to five times a week because ‘she doesn’t lose her muscle mass or too much weight’ due to her long days rehearsing for Burlesque. Sit-ups: Christina’s favorite thing to do is work those abs. It’s no joke either – she’s doing 300 to 500 sit-ups a session!

Other than that, in order to become this fit, the singer has banished all whites from her diet, which means no flours, rice or sugars. However, because all this without some fun would be almost too hard, Christina gets one cheat day per week, the trainer adds.
