A-list body secret: how to get arms like Salma Hayek

However, the 5ft 1in actress has admitted to neglecting diet and exercise in the past, saying: ‘I fight with it every day. I eat pork and love red wine.’

Since the birth of her daughter four years ago, she does Bikram yoga (performed in a hot room), and weights.

TRY THIS: A recent U.S. study found the triangle push-up was the best exercise for the triceps muscles in the backs of the arms.

Lie face down on the floor. Place your thumbs and forefingers of each hand together, palms down, to form a triangle beneath your face.

Extend your arms until they’re straight (but not locked) and get into a push up position, balancing on your toes and hands while keeping your hands in the triangle shape. If this is too tricky, put your knees on the floor.

Slowly lower your body, keeping your head aligned with your spine.

Don’t allow your lower back to sag or your hips to move up during this downward phase.

Continue until your chest or chin touches the floor. Next, press up through your arms imagining you are pushing the floor away from you, until your arms are fully extended (but not locked) at the elbows.
