Ellen DeGeneres is pulling hosting duties this year (the only reason I may not die of boredom for once), and in preparation, she’s working out with trainer Bob Harper. The good news is, she’s been posting video clips of the workouts on her website, so everyone has a chance to get whipped into shape by Bob. Try the exercise workout—especially the push-ups—if you want a real challenge.

Or you could just try the other favored last-ditch method: Colonics. Good luck getting anyone in Hollywood to admit to it, but let’s just say someone is keeping those clinics in business, and no mere mortal needs to beat the bloat that badly. Hey, it’s all part of the Oscar glamour.
