Miley Cyrus may be the only girl who can say she never experienced those awkward teen years! The newly engaged actress/singer is looking better than ever and she isn't afraid to flaunt it, often leaving the gym rocking those crop tops! We may not be a pop star or engaged to her Hunger Games fiance, Liam Hemsworth, but we can certainly stay in shape and tone up with a similar fitness routine!

Just Dance

Lean, mean dancing machine! Dancing is a fun way to burn calories, tone up, and stay fit! When touring, Miley benefits from long hours in rehearsals and on stage. Try this dance workout from celeb trainer Tracy Anderson for a fun way to break a sweat.

Sip Smoothies

It is no secret that a proper diet and exercise go hand in hand with Miley's flat abs. Smoothies are a quick and nutritious solution for a post-workout snack! For bikini-ready abs, try this detox smoothie recipe.

Bike Rides

Biking is perfect for running quick errands and burns over 100 calories every 15 minutes. It beats sitting in traffic or risking a parking ticket!

Power of Pilates

Wow! Jada Pinkett Smith, 40, Flaunts Hot Bikini Bod

Forty and fabulous!

Jada Pinkett Smith shared a hot bikini photo with her Twitter followers on Saturday and an inspirational message to her fans. 

"To my Forty and over crew!" she tweeted. "Don't believe the hype . . . we do get better with age!"

In the sexy photo, Will Smith's wife and mother of Jaden, 14, and Willow, 11, walks out from the ocean dripping wet, revealing her toned abs in a colorful string bikini.

Pinkett recently shared her secret to maintaining a flawless bod with Essence magazine, explaining, "I don't eat for pleasure." The Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted star said she "had the only West Indian grandmother that could not cook. She was an awful cook, and she taught me that you don't eat for taste, you eat for nourishment. And I have kept that over the years, so I can eat anything that's healthy."

The actress also recently told Us Weekly that she's eager to get back in the spotlight. "I'll definitely be doing more on-screen acting. My kids are older now, so they're doing them," she explained. "And now I think I have an opportunity to do a little bit more."

Step Up Revolution Star Kathryn McCormick's Top 3 Hot Body Tips

Kathryn McCormick first wowed audiences as a finalist on FOX's So You Think You Can Dance in 2009 and now the star is taking her moves to the big screen as the female lead in Step Up Revolution, out now.

"I take three dance classes a day!" McCormick, 22, tells Us Weekly of her stay-in-shape plan when she isn't filming. But getting a lean physique doesn't require quite as much time. Here, the actress shares her top three novice-friendly advice to achieve a dancer's bod.

1. Adapt your diet. The Georgia native used to eat corndogs -- until a pal introduced her to vegetarianism. Now meat- and dairy-free, she credits her organic diet with keeping her 5-foot-5 body fueled for workouts: "When I eat better, I perform better," she tells Us.

2. Work your core. McCormick takes Pilates-inspired Gyrotonics to strengthen her abs: "It challenged my body," she says. "No more weak spots.

3. Start dancing! "Dance is a physical and mental workout," McCormick (who convinced boyfriend Kameron Waters to take a hip-hop dance class) advises trying beginner ballet: "Once you get your body moving, you'll see a difference."

McCormick's Step Up Revolution is in theaters now.

PIC: Lady Gaga Goes Totally Nude in Racy New Photo

No crazy costumes here, but Lady Gaga still found a way to go over the top on Thursday.

The "Born This Way" singer, 26, posed totally nude in a grainy new photo she shared on her Little Monsters fan site Thursday.

"Resting after Barney's Gaga Workshop opening in NY," reads the caption beneath the pic, in which Gaga (real name: Stefanie Germanotta) curls up in an armchair without a stitch of clothing on save for a flesh-colored thong.

(The Grammy winner seems to have posed for the shot late last year, when her Barney's Workshop opened up as a pop-up store in NYC for the holiday season.)

VIDEO: Does Gaga have better style than this pop superstar?

But Gaga (currently traveling the world for her concert tour) has more than just her svelte bod to show off: She just landed her very first film role as La Chameleon in director Robert Rodriguez's new film Machete Kills.

"Yes its true, I will be making my debut as an actress ln the amazing MACHETE KILLS BY @RODRIGUEZ IM (sic) SO EXCITED!!! AH! Filming was insane," the star tweeted.

PIC: AnnaLynne McCord Rocks Super-Sexy Black Bikini on 90210 Set

Working hard while soaking up the sun!

AnnaLynne McCord went to work on Tuesday with her fellow female castmates of 90210, and she evidently hasn't skipped a beat in maintaining her bikini body this summer.

On the Beverly Hills beach set, the modelesque star showed some serious skin in a skimpy black bikini with Brazilian-style bottoms and a teeny black halter top.

The 25-year-old actress opened up to Self last spring to dish on her non-traditional exercise regimen she used to keep her long and lean figure.

"I'm not the treadmill girl--I like to do things that are outdoorsy," she told the magazine, adding that kayaking is her favorite workout for her core and upper body. "And I just started doing Taekwando, where I work with a grand master, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu."

Although her bikini body may appear perfect, McCord knows the importance of embracing her flaws too. In May, she tweeted a photo of herself without makeup, blemishes and all.

"I woke up this morning and decided I'm over Hollywood's perfection requirement," she wrote alongside the pic. "To all my girls (and boys) who have ever been embarrassed by their skin! I salute you! I'm not perfect--and that's okay with me!"

Jordin Sparks: How I Lost 50 Pounds

At the Teen Choice Awards in Universal City, Calif. on Sunday, Jordin Sparks radiated confidence and beauty in a Chagoury Couture halter mini that showed off her toned shoulders and legs on the pink carpet.

Since appearing on the cover of August's Shape magazine to flaunt her 50-pound weight loss, Sparks dished to Us Weekly about the question on everyone's minds: what regimen is behind her slimdown?

"There is no secret," the 22-year-old Sparkle actress told Us at the event. "It's just eating better and working out! It's definitely a daily thing."

Among her favorite ways to get her sweat on: high-energy dance classes like Zumba. "My mom's best friend is a Zumba instructor and I loved it," she gushed. "I started with walking then went to jogging and then Zumba. I started [working with a trainer] and we did 30 minutes of circuit training so I didn't feel like I needed to be in the gym for two hours."

In addition to intense cardio sculpting sessions, Sparks, who had been dating fellow singer Jason Derulo since last August, had to makeover her diet as well. "I stop now when I'm full," she admitted. "I love food and I love to eat. My thing was, do I really need seconds or do I want it just because it tastes good?"

But leftovers and second helpings have proven to pay off for the season 6 American Idol champ, who admits that she got extremely emotional when shooting her first bikini cover.

"I could only dream having a cover and looking like that," she said. "I thought, 'I did it!' I had to walk back to my dressing room and I had to pull myself together because I was overwhelmed. I cried. I shed a little tear but I'm really happy with how it turned out."
