Penelope Cruz: Workout

Penelope Cruz is up for an Academy Award this weekend for ‘Best Actress in a Supporting Role’ thanks to her striking performance as Maria Elena in the Woody Allen movie, Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Regardless of being on or off the movie set, Penelope stays in shape year round with her personal trainer, Gunnar Peterson. According to Peterson,
“Being ready and available for whatever opportunities present themselves at any moment is vital in Hollywood. She has the motivation she needs to get by. The motivator for women in Hollywood is always trying to be the best.”
So how does Peterson keep this motivated woman so fit? During the filming of Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Penelope did a variety of strength training, cardiovascular and stretching exercises. In particular, during her strength training sessions, she utilized equipment such as kettle balls, free weights and medicine balls. Penelope Cruz always comes across as a strong, solid and healthy woman in Hollywood, and from the sounds of this routine, it must be her dedication to year-round exercise that keeps her true to herself and fitness.
