His workout included a set of 25 pullups, 50 deadlifts with 135 pounds, 50 pushups, 50 jumps on a 24-inch box and 50 single-arm clean-and-presses using a 36-pound kettle bell. “That was a great thing, to put on that cape and put on that helmet, and not have to think, ‘****, I should have trained more.’ Instead, I was standing there feeling like a lion,” Butler told Men’s Fitness magazine.

Her weight once led Ricki Lake to be typecast in roles like Tracy Turnblad in the 1998 film “Hairspray,” but now the former talk show host has a much more slender figure. Lake dropped 140 pounds by hiring Fresh Dining to deliver her meals. “I have become a little obsessed with the scale. I get on the scale every morning to make sure I didn’t gain any weight or maybe I lost more. You want to be well adjusted and not get too extreme,” she told “Access Hollywood” in May 2007.

Celebrity Diets: Madonna
Madonna’s body defies time. The 50-year-old Material Girl is a longtime follower of the vigorous Ashtanga style of yoga and also sticks to a macrobiotic diet. In an interview with Larry King, Madonna described her diet as “fish, some kind of grains, some kind of cooked vegetable, [and] salad. Simple, but tasty.” The Daily Mail claims the mother of three uses a StairMaster for 45 minutes a day in her office as she takes calls. But the pop singer warns there is no easy route to obtaining her youthful figure. In 2008, she told the UK edition of Elle magazine, “It’s all about hard work. There is no easy way. If you want to know how I look like I do, it’s diet and exercise and constantly being careful… I’m not going to slow down, get off this ride, stay home and get fat!” (Eduardo Verdugo/AP)
