America Ferrera
Voluptuous Ugly Betty star America Ferrera, used to hate her curves so much, she would burst into tears every time she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror.
“I thought I was too fat,” she says. “I wanted to be one of Charlie’s Angels, but couldn’t get into the size zero leather trousers.”
Best workout? Kickboxing offers a fabulous all-over workout for pear-shaped women like America. The high-powered exercise burns fat, tightens abs and helps to sculpt beautifully lean pins. Hilary Swank transformed her body in Million Dollar Baby with two and a half hours of intense boxing sessions daily, and Helena Christensen swears by kickboxing to keep her body taut and toned.
