At an awards ceremony last month, Anne Hathaway wore a gown that highlighted her waist.

The Oscar-winning actress, 40, was attending the Clooney Foundation For Justice’s 2023 Albie Awards at the New York Public Library.

‘I’ve always thought skinny was the goal, but with this job I have to be strong,’ she said while training for her role as Catwoman a decade ago — and this attitude has seen her through, because she now feels ‘stronger than ever’.

What to try: V-sits will target your abs, obliques (waist muscles) and hip flexors while improving balance and posture.

Lie on the floor on a mat and extend your arms above your head and legs out straight.

Keeping your legs straight, bring hands and toes up towards the ceiling to touch each other, so you are balancing on your lower back.

Lower down, then tap your hands and feet to the floor. Repeat three sets of ten, three times a week.
