As a fitness writer I think Jessica Biel's workout is great – but it comes with a caveat
You might be familiar with the phrase 'comparison is the thief of joy'. This expression is particularly applicable to celebrity workouts. Yes, we can use the exercise regimes of our favourite actors and influencers as inspiration for our own efforts to stay in shape. But the two should never be put side by side, as Jessica Biel has highlighted in a recent Instagram post. After earning an avalanche of admiring comments for her strong physique in new Prime Video series The Better Sister, the 43-year-old pointed out that the 'peak shape' she was in while filming 'is not maintainable unless you are living the strictest, most rigid lifestyle with your nutrition and with your fitness, which I cannot do'. The caveat with celebrity workouts As a fitness writer, Biel's transparency is refreshing to see. Actors achieving an optimised physique for a role has become ever-more commonplace in the post-Avengers age, but it's important for viewers to note that recreating what they see on screen is rarely a viable option. Case in point: Zac Efron has been open about the impacts of his training for Iron Claw – 'Your life goes out the window during prep'. His intense efforts and diuretic use before filming Baywatch also led him to 'fall into a pretty bad depression' and 'develop insomnia', he tells Men's Health. Meanwhile, Chris Hemsworth's long-time trainer Luke Zocchi previously told me the pair approach top-off scenes in films like preparing for a bodybuilding show. They will know the exact date for filming months in advance, then fine-tune many factors to optimise his look for those few seconds of screen time. As a fitness fan, he's in great shape year round, but even Hemsworth doesn't look like Thor for all 12 months of the year. In summary, not even the actors themselves can maintain their on-screen physique for the long haul, so viewers shouldn't expect to either. After shining a spotlight on this on via Instagram, Biel goes on to share a workout from 'her plan to get a little bit back towards that [The Better Sister] shape' – and it's solid stuff for celebrities and the rest of us alike. Jessica Biel's workout Exercise Sets Reps Rest Dumbbell hip thrust 4 10 60 seconds after each set Dumbbell Romanian deadlift 4 10 60 seconds after each set Tempo Swiss ball hamstring curl (three second negative, or lowering phase) 3 10-12 60 seconds after each set Kettlebell goblet step-through lunge 3 6-8 each side 60 seconds after each set Resistance band kickback 2 10-12 each side 60 seconds after each set Kettlebell dead bug 2 12 60 seconds after each set This is a strength training workout. The targeted muscles are overcoming resistance – whether that's provided by a dumbbell, kettlebell, resistance band or your own bodyweight – to perform a movement. In the case of this particular session, the main working muscles are those of the glutes (backside), quads (front of the thigh), hamstrings (back of the thigh) and core (a collection of mid-body muscles responsible for supporting the spine, aiding balance and many more functions). The target number of sets and reps per exercise are geared towards building and maintaining muscle. If you want to try this workout for yourself, Biel has helpfully demonstrated the exercises in the video below. You can also substitute the Swiss ball hamstring curls for prone resistance band hamstring curls, and swap the kettlebell for dumbbells during the lunges and dead bugs, if you only have a couple of dumbbells and bands handy. Benefits of Jessica Biel's workout The body adheres to the SAID principle, which stands for specific adaptations to imposed demands. As a result, if we apply a resistance that challenges us during each of these exercises, and progress this resistance over time as our fitness improves, the body will build muscle and become stronger. Put simply, it's adapting to get better at the specific thing we keep asking it to do. It's not just the muscles that benefit either; strength training will bolster your bones, tendons, ligaments and more. This reduces your risk of injury and improves physical capacity, often increasing quality of life as a result. It can also boost balance, coordination and mobility by working your joints through a wide range of motion under load – if you can comfortably sit in a squat and lift objects overhead, chances are your hips, knees and shoulders are in pretty good nick. Another perk Biel highlights is the benefits of strength training as you grow older. 'My body's not 20 years old anymore, so I am adjusting my workout to what I need to do,' she says. The video then cuts to the actor in what appears to be the splits. 'You've got to build muscle, so that is a key part of my particular routine – [that] and a ton of flexibility,' she continues. '…Let's get older and stronger together.' As she alludes to here, strength training can counter a condition called sarcopenia: the age-related loss of strength and muscle. This process can start as early as your 30s, with an article from Harvard Health Publishing reporting that people can lose 'as much as three to five per cent [of muscle] per decade'. 'As you move through midlife and into your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond, age-related muscle and strength loss – sarcopenia and dynapenia – become more significant concerns,' Ollie Thompson, an experienced personal trainer specialising in longevity, tells me. 'However, if you've built greater reserves earlier in life, you'll be in a stronger position to maintain muscle mass and physical function as you age. 'For someone who has dabbled in fitness during their younger years but hasn't prioritised staying fit through midlife, I recommend a minimum effective dose of two full-body resistance training sessions per week, along with approximately 150 minutes of cardiovascular exercise,' he continues. 'This approach helps slow muscle loss, maintain strength and support overall cardiovascular health.'

Gwyneth Paltrow slammed as 'insufferable' after admission about how she educated Brad Pitt during their relationship
Gwyneth Paltrow has been slated for her 'classist' admission about how she would educate Brad Pitt during their relationship. The 52-year-old actress and Goop founder dated the F1: The Movie actor, 61, from 1994 until they called off their engagement in 1997. In the new biography about her life, Gwyneth: The Biography by Amy Odell, one chapter reveals how Gwyneth started to question her relationship with Brad during the filming of the Jane Austen adaptation Emma in 1996. According to People magazine, she expressed her doubts to one crew member and admitted that she had a crush on Hugh Grant instead. As per the publication, 'Brad and I had very different upbringings,' she told an interviewer. 'So when we go to restaurants and order caviar, I have to say to Brad, 'This is beluga and this is osetra.'' Social media users on Reddit have hit out at her remarks about her time with Brad, with one branding her as 'insufferable.' 'Classic classist snob with no taste, no humor,' another said. 'Please educate us more on the differences between caviar and keep preaching about how to not eat.' A third agreed and added: 'She is exhausting.' But others weren't totally put off as one admitted: 'I'd actually read this book lol.' Nepo baby Gwyneth is the daughter of movie producer Bruce Paltrow and actress Blythe Danner. Gwyneth and Brad never publicly explained the exact reason for their 1997 breakup. However, Odell's sources recalled rumors that it might have been linked to Gwyneth's alleged fling with her Sliding Doors co-star John Hannah. Reflecting on the split in a 2015 interview with Howard Stern, she admitted: 'I wasn't ready, and he was too good for me.' Following her relationship with Brad, she went on to date Ben Affleck. She would eventually go on to wed Coldplay front man, Chris Martin, whom she married in 2003. The pair, who split in 2016, are parents to daughter, Apple, born in May 2004, and a son, Moses, born in April 2006. In March, Gwyneth spoke highly of her romance with Brad, whom she worked with on the film Seven. 'He's a very intriguing character,' she said, before comparing him to a royal. 'It's like having dated, I don't know, Prince William or something. That's always going to come up.' Brad is now dating jewelry executive Ines de Ramon after divorcing Angelina Jolie, while Gwyneth is married to producer Brad Falchuk.

Inside Britain's ‘plane graveyard' filled with 1,400 jets that's used for Hollywood films, Doctor Who & SAS training
AN EERIE plane graveyard in the UK houses more than 1,400 jets that have been used in Hollywood films, Doctor Who and SAS training. The private airfield in Gloucestershire is where jumbo jets from around the world are ditched. 4 4 4 Mark Gregory's Air Salvage International (ASI) has been chopping, disassembling and recycling planes at the airfield, which sits just two miles from Kemble, for 30 years. In the early 90s, Mark bought his first plane with his redundancy money and spent six months breaking it down into sellable parts. More than 1,400 aircraft later his business is thriving, employing dozens of people to handle growing demand from an expanding aviation industry. Many plane owners send their ageing aircraft to Mark as a commercial jet's MOT costs a whopping £1 million. Mark can sometimes salvage as much as £12 million from them in reusable parts or recyclable materials. But the business doesn't stop there. ASI provides dramatic training scenarios for organisations such as the SAS to help them practice plane-related emergencies. In one mock situation, Mark and his team crushed a van with a plane fuselage as special forces dealt with hijackers and "injured" passengers on board. The jets have also starred on the big screen. An array of films have been shot at ASI including The Fast and the Furious 6, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Mission Impossible and Batman. You may also recognise it from small-screen appearances such as The One Show, Casualty and Doctor Who. So the next time you spot a dramatic plane disaster or runway scene on the tele, you may spot the Gloucestershire countryside in the background. Many of the firms who send their jets to ASI know what they want back with demand lists that can stretch to 2,000 parts from a single plane. Other aircraft meet a different fate - one big chunk of fuselage was even used for The Swarm rollercoaster at Thorpe Park. And aviation buffs use pieces to decorate their homes. Through ASI's sister site, you can purchase a pilot's seat for £6,000 or small sections of fuselage with a window up for grabs for £150. Cash-stuffed wallets have been found in seat pockets too but most of these find their way back to the owners. On another occasion 15 years ago a large stash of cocaine was found behind some panelling in the rear toilets. "Needless to say, we informed the authorities, police and boarder and they removed," Mark explained. "After the investigation, it was found that the value was fairly high and it would look like the contraband was being smuggled into Europe by a person who must of hidden this rather than getting caught taking it through customs." Mark's team are also sometimes called to aviation crash sites. Their expertise in breaking aircraft down makes it useful when it comes to identifying remains and helping determine what went wrong. The team were part of the investigation into the Afriqiyah Airways crash in Tripoli, Libya, in 2010, which killed 104 people. But while flogging off bits of jumbo jet can sometimes fetch millions, Mark can't bear to part with certain flying machines that come his way. This includes a VIP-fitted Boeing 727 that was once part of Saddam Hussein's fleet after he instructed Iraqi Airways to steal all of Kuwait Airways' planes during its 1990 invasion of the country. It was kitted out with plush velour seats with extendable footrests and cutting-edge JVC TVs built into mahogany walls. Before the Iraqi forces took over the Kuwaiti fleet, the Kuwaiti family used the plane to jet-set around the globe. The Emir would even sit on a specially constructed throne, using radio equipment to issue commands to his staff from 30,000 feet.# Mark's plane graveyard isn't the only in the UK either. The Sun reported in May how an explorer had revealed the remnants of an abandoned ex-military plane field - including a rotting 1951 Hawker Hunter jet. Left behind were iconic British fighter jets that would've been used in wars dating back to as far as 1951. 4
