Jan 15 2014 - 2:14pm

Celebs, they're just like us — at least when it comes to not always looking forward to a workout. But dreading a sweat session doesn't mean that they skip out. Make like a star and use these 10 tips and tricks to motivate you the next time you feel like swapping gym time for couch time.

Kate Hudson

On why you should wake up for that workout [1]: "There's no way a woman gets up to work out at 6:30 a.m. just for the mood boost. She wants to fit into her jeans and look fantastic too."

Kelly Osbourne

Her tip: Just be active [2]. "You don't have to walk on a treadmill to work out. You can hike, kayak or say 'OK, I'm going to go out with my friends and not drink, and dance my ass off, and that's the same as working out.'"

Jessica Alba

On working out when you don't feel like it [3]: "Anything where I have to do something but I can get my mind off of doing it, that's so much better for me than anything that's repetitive. Or the music has to be loud and I have to be moving."

Emmy Rossum

On what to do when you've had a bad workout [4]: "If I've had a meh workout the day before, and I'm still not feeling it, then I'll do another meh one that day, too. I think you should just do something every day."

Beyoncé

Her burn-calories-anywhere trick [5]: "I'll put on a song that I really like and do [biceps curls with] 5-pound weights [for] the whole song and just try to burn out."

Lucy Hale

Her tip for getting through a workout [6]: "I won't work out without music. I'm not one of those people who looks forward to exercising, so music gets me through it. "

Jennifer Lopez

On rewarding yourself for making it to a workout [7]: "Sometimes when I get home and I'm not feeling so great, I make myself go to the gym. Then I come home and take a shower, put on a great outfit, some makeup, tie my hair up, and I feel pepped up and great about myself."

Hayden Panettiere

On not pushing yourself too hard [8]: "I used to run an hour every day. It was too much for me, and my body shut down. So now I don't push it over the top."

Cameron Diaz

On sticking to your new workout routine [9]: "I'm consistent, and when I'm not consistent, it shows up on my body."

Julianne Hough

Her tip for staying excited for your workouts [10]: "I vary my workouts every day because, otherwise, I get bored."
