These hot Hollywood stars are not to be messed with!
Killing two birds with one stone, these lean leading ladies and buff big screen hunks got in shape by learning how to fight. SHAPE has all the details about the tough workout trend.
Way before she was dancing with the stars (and romancing George Clooney) 32-year old Stacy Keibler was throwing her hat into the Hollywood ring as a WWE female fighter. Now that her wrestling days are gone (but not forgotten), Keibler's long and lean frame can be attributed to a mix of cross-training, stair-climbing, and kettlebells, as her trainer Juliet Kaska previously revealed to SHAPE.
Actress Hilary Swank famously got into rip-roaring red-carpet shape while heavily training for her role as a female boxer in 2004's box-office hit Million Dollar Baby. At the time, Swank told a magazine that she put on nearly 20 pounds of muscle for the role of Maggie Fitzgerald by stepping into
the ring for more than 4 hours a day and eating a whopping 4,000 calories.
