Since you all chose Jessica Biel's trainer Jason Walsh as your favorite celebrity trainer, I asked him to share a workout with us.
Jason thought this three part circuit workout that he does with his clients would be fun for us too. It will get your heart rate up and strengthen your body at the same time. That is what I call a win-win workout. It is full of mutli-joint exercises that work more than one muscle group at a time and the more muscle you use in a movement the more oxygen you need for those working muscles.
Keep track of your rest times and weights, so you can decrease the rest time and increase the weights from week to week. If you are new to weight training, Jason recommends starting with no weights and 1 min rest between sets. On the flip side, decrease the rest time if it feels too easy, but remember you have a lot to do so don't get ahead of yourself.
To see the workout just read more.
You will need: dumbbells (DB) or a medicine ball (MB), a step ( I used one of my daughters' kiddie chairs), and a pull up bar or lat machine (if you are trying this at home just improvise – I used the top of a door jam with a chair and did super slow supported pull-ups). This circuit take 25 to 30 minutes to perform depending on how long you rest in between sets.

I just did this workout, started with 10 minutes on the elliptical to warm up, stretched and then went for it. It was fun and challenging and I feel like my entire body got worked! Just a word of caution for those with lower back problems: straight leg sit ups can put a lot of pressure on the lumbar spine, try 90 seconds of crunches instead. Try it and let me know what you think in the comment section below.

Great tips.
1I don't think I could do some of those moves very well. I am going to try the lateral lunges because I SUCK at regular ones
2I might try this out today! Looks like a really good over all workout, even if I have to change some of the moves.
3sounds hardcore!
4This sounds like it would be great during an evening TV show.
5I love a great whole body workout!!!
6Pull ups are my nemesis! Love jump squats!
7I cannot wait to try this.
8What is meant by active stretch? How does one stretch a torso?
9lol that photo looks so weird!! Like there's a little alien jessica biel head stemming from his collarbone!
10this is a great workout. if i can look like jessica biel afterwards even better!
11I dont get the lateral lunge... I thought you were supposed to keep your knee aligned with your heel but the video shows is passes the heel when he goes down...
12The workout sound like every school book workout I've ever tried.
13I'm glad someone is buying into this.
I'm in pretty good shape, and this circuit had my legs shaking afterwards. Awesome!
14This workout routine is awesome and really targets the spots that you want toned and helps create a nice "S" shape to the womans body.
15I wanted to see what Jessica does to sculpt her sexy body and found out that im doing the same exact things at the gym. Im already slim and lean but not quite like Jessica. Genetics really plays a part in how your body looks and having a trainer really pays off to
