Jessica Biel reveals workout that gave her an ‘unattainable' peach-shaped butt on ‘The Better Sister'
Prime Video's new thriller series 'The Better Sister' has earned lots of fans, thanks in large part to leading ladies Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks.
But the thing that no one can get over is how absolutely incredible Biel, 43, looked in that white dress — in fact, Biel has heard so much about how terrific her tush looked that she's sharing the workout that got it that way.
'Everyone is talking — or telling me that they're really enjoying — The Better Sister, which is amazing… and also talking about the white dress,' she said on TikTok, responding to a commenter who begged her to 'drop the workout routine.'
But first, Biel said, let's temper our expectations.
'I wanted to share that that peach shape in that show is not maintainable unless you are living the strictest, most rigid lifestyle with your nutrition and fitness — which I cannot do,' she said.
So while she got there for the series, keeping her butt like that full-time is, according to the star, a tall order.
Having made everyone feel a little bit better about themselves, she went on to say that she is 'trying to get a little bit back towards that shape' and shared some of the workouts — courtesy of Pilates guru Ashley Brown — that gave her that delectable derriere.
Lie with your upper back supported on a bench, feet flat on the floor. Drive through heels to lift your hips until shoulders‑to‑knees form a straight line, squeezing the glutes at the top.
If you don't have barbells, you can also use double dumbbells — as Biel does.
Do 10 reps and 4 sets.
Stand tall holding dumbbells or a bar.
Keeping your knees slightly bent, hinge at your hips and lower yourself down with your back straight, then squeeze hamstrings/glutes to stand back up.
Also 10 reps and 4 sets.
Lie on your back with your feet on a stability ball. Lift hips, then curl the ball toward your glutes with your feet.
Repeat 10-12 times with three sets.
Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell at your chest, then step backward (or laterally) into a deep lunge.
Three sets of 6-8 reps.
Anchor a resistance band or cable low and attach it to your ankle. Extend your leg straight back and up to activate the glute, especially the side/lateral muscles.
Two sets of 10-12 reps, using a stronger band for the second set.
Lie on your back, holding a kettlebell with arms extended. Simultaneously lower opposite arm and leg toward the floor with control.
Twelve reps total and two sets.
Proving that she is in, fact, human, Biel was out of breath by the end of the video.
'Whoo, I'm tired,' she said. 'My body is not 20 years old anymore.'

Cindy Crawford shares the morning routine that helps her feel in control of her day — before she even checks her messages
Cindy Crawford, 59, says she starts her mornings offline. During an appearance on the "Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky" podcast, the supermodel spoke about her morning ritual and how it sets the tone for her day. Crawford told podcast host Monica Lewinsky that she gets up 20 minutes before her kids so she has time for herself in the mornings. "I didn't want to wake up to 'Mommy, I need this,'" Crawford said, adding that she had to take care of herself first so she has "a better chance" of being her best self for the day. In recent years, Crawford says she's made it a habit to avoid checking emails or messages first thing in the morning. "I probably heard it on a podcast, but it was like 'Think about it. What is the first input you want?'" Crawford said. "I listen to a Bible podcast or whatever. Every morning, they read a Bible verse, and then someone does a summary of it. That's my first input while I'm doing my dry brushing and I'm putting body oil on. I don't look at my messages or emails until I've taken that time for myself," she said. Dry brushing is a beauty technique that involves using a dry brush to exfoliate the skin. It is said to also encourage blood circulation. But even spending those 20 minutes offline can be a challenge, since she has to turn on her phone to access her Bible app and inevitably sees messages come in. "I'm controlling the first input because what if someone has sent you a stressful text or email, and that's the first thing you wake up to?" Crawford said. "And now you're in response mode, or like, adrenaline gets going, because someone said the wrong word in a text that you took the wrong way. I just don't want that. I want to control my input for as long as I can." In addition to avoiding messages, Crawford says she likes to spend time outside in the mornings. "We live in Malibu. I'll go to the jacuzzi. I'm outside, I'm in nature, my feet are in the grass. I have this connection to nature, to source. All of that helps ground me," she said. "By the time I come in from that, I'm like, "OK, I can I can do whatever," she added. A representative for Crawford did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours. Other high-profile individuals, such as Hollywood celebrities and business leaders, also have their own morning rituals. Keke Palmer told BI in May that she usually gets up between 6 a.m. and 6.45 a.m. and practices Pilates in the morning. "It's the moment of my day that I get to myself, even if I'm in a class with other people. It's just me, feeling it, existing in the world, and doing something for myself. It's really meditative," Palmer said. Disney's CEO, Bob Iger, said he gets up at 4:15 a.m. and avoids looking at his phone until after his morning workout because it helps him clear his head. "I think it's vital, in terms of the ability to run a pretty complicated company in a very, very fast-paced world, to have the energy but also to have spent the time to organize one's thoughts," he said.

Horror Hit '28 Years Later' New On Streaming This Week, Report Says
Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Alfie Williams in "28 Years Later." Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodi Comer and Ralph Fiennes' hit horror thriller 28 Years Later is reportedly coming to digital streaming this week. The third film in the horror film series that began with 28 Days Later in 2002, 28 Years Later reunites the original film's director, Danny Boyle, and its screenwriter, Alex Garland. The film was released in theaters on June 20. The summary for 28 Years Later reads, 'It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. 'When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.' According to When to Stream, 28 Years Later is expected to debut on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, July 29. While the streaming tracker is typically accurate with its PVOD reports, When to Stream noted that 28 Years Later Sony Pictures Entertainment has not announced or confirmed the release date and it is subject to change. When it is released, 28 Years Later will be available on several digital platforms, including Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Prime Video and YouTube. Prime Video currently has 28 Years Later listed for pre-order for $24.99, which is also the film's purchase price on PVOD. Since PVOD rentals typically run $5 less than purchase prices, viewers can expect to rent 28 Years Later for $19.99 for a 48-hour period. The film is still playing in theaters. So far, 28 Years Later has earned $70 million domestically and $80 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $150 million. The film had a $60 million production before prints and advertising costs, per The Numbers. Danny Boyle Says '28 Years Later' Is Not A Zombie Film While those who have the Rage Virus in 28 Years Later have zombie-like qualities, Danny Boyle insisted in an interview with TIME Magazine before the film's release in theaters that the antagonists are not zombies. 'We had this thing about, 'No, they're not zombies. They're infected,'' Boyle told TIME. 'We wanted them to behave in a different way physically, but they also weren't undead. They could die and they will die, but so will you if they catch you.' In 28 Years Later, Aaron Taylor-Johnson's character, Jamie, takes his 12-year-old son, Spike (Alfie Williams), to the mainland where the infected roam over the objections of his wife and the boy's mother, Isla (Jodie Comer). The trip to the mainland is a rite of passage where the younger people sheltered by their island community learn to hunt the infected. Bold told TIME that part of the storyline was influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. 'When COVID first happened, we wore gloves, we disinfected groceries,' Boyle told TIME. 'But gradually over time, you start taking more risks. You don't stay in that super alert stage. You evolve. And so it is in 28 Years. They begin to take risks. Jamie takes his 12-year-old son to the mainland even though, as the mom says, that's f---ing crazy.' Rated R, 28 Years Later — which is executive produced by 28 Days Later star Cillian Murphy — is expected to arrive on PVOD on Tuesday.

‘Gen V' Season 2 Trailer Promises Uncovered Secrets, Lots of Blood
The first season of Gen V never shied away from gore — as one would expect from a spinoff of The Boys — and it looks like the second one won't either. Prime VIdeo unveiled a trailer for the forthcoming season of Gen V Friday at Comic-Con, and it skimps on neither the over-the-top moments that are a hallmark of the Boys-verse nor the intrigue at Godolkin University, where the show's supes-in-training attend college. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Alien: Earth' Screens Blockbuster First Episode at Comic-Con 'Rick and Morty' Spinoff 'President Curtis' a Go at Adult Swim 'The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon' Renewed for Fourth and Final Season at AMC The trailer debuted as part of a Comic-Con session that featured castmembers Jaz Sinclair, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh and Hamish Linklater and showrunner Michele Fazekas. Chace Crawford, who will reprise his role as The Deep in season two, also made an appearance on stage. Watch the trailer below. Also revealed during the panel (and in the trailer) are the casting of Wicked's Ethan Slater as Thomas Godolkin. Additionally, Sean Patrick Thomas has been upped to a series regular for season two. Gen V's season two description reads, 'School is back in session. As the rest of America adjusts to Homelander's iron fist, back at Godolkin University, the mysterious new dean (Linklater) preaches a curriculum that promises to make students more powerful than ever. Cate (Phillips) and Sam (Asa Germann) are celebrated heroes, while Marie (Sinclair), Jordan (Thor), and Emma (Lizze Broadway) reluctantly return to college, burdened by months of trauma and loss. But parties and classes are hard to care about with war brewing between humans and supes, both on and off campus. The gang learns of a secret program that goes back to the founding of Godolkin University that may have larger implications than they realize. And, somehow, Marie is a part of it.' Sony Pictures TV and Amazon MGM Studios produce Gen V in association with Kripke Enterprises, Point Grey and Original Film. Fazekas executive produces with Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Ken Levin, Jason Netter, Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson, Michaela Starr, Ori Marmur, Thomas Schnauz, Steve Boyum and Brant Engelstein.
