Halle Berry is dedicated fitness fan

Friday Jan 6 2012

Halle Berry keeps in shape by working out "four muscles at once".

The Oscar-winning actress is well known for her slim frame and killer curves.
However, her trainer Nat Bardonnet has revealed that it takes a lot of work to get Halle's enviable physique.

"If we can work four muscles at once, we're going to!" Nat told Us Weekly.
One of their favourite moves is a cycle of quick squats with arm raises. Nat believes the move is great for working on all of Halle's problem areas.
"You work the thighs, butt, biceps and core!" she revealed.

The actress also has to give her body enough energy to get her through the intense hour-long, four-day-a-week workouts with Nat.
Halle likes to refuel with protein shakes from West Hollywood's Earth Bar and "she also eats energy bars," Nat added.
As well as looking after her appearance, the stunning star also concentrates on her health. Halle suffers from diabetes so she grazes regularly throughout the day to keep her blood sugar level and metabolism up. She prefers to stick to healthy snacks such as fish, salad and soup.

Halle Berry sports a splint on her foot... as she flashes ring on engagement finger

That must ease the pain! Halle Berry sports a splint on her foot... as she flashes ring on engagement finger

Halle Berry’s foot is back in a splint following an incident last year.

The actress broke her foot while filming Cloud Atlas in Mallorca, Spain last September and at the time it was reported she heard a crack after taking a bad step while out walking.

Although the injury was thought to have healed, it seems it didn't completely mend as Berry was spotted wearing protective gear again while on the school run this morning.

The 45-year-old stepped out in one espadrille-style shoe on the left foot and fashioned a large black plastic splint on the right.

Teaming the look with long-sleeved white top, cropped trousers and aviator sunglasses, the star opted for the casual look as she drove her three-year-old daughter, Nahla, to school in West Hollywood.

The pixie-haired starlet appeared to be struggling as she led the way for her adorable daughter – who donned a pink top with floral embellishments and styled her hair in cute pigtails.

Ouch! Berry looked as though she was struggling as she held her daughter and carried a bag

As she held on to a cuddly toy and her mother carried a small butterfly print bag, Halle flashed a ring thought to be one given to her by partner Olivier Martinez, also 45.

Reports suggest the Gothika actress could be taking the plunge and getting married for the third time as she flaunts a gold ring with a large emerald gemstone in the centre on her wedding finger.

It is not the first time rumours have circulated that the couple have become engaged.

Is she getting married? Berry was wearing what is thought to be her engagement ring from Olivier Martinez

In January 2011 it was claimed they had agreed to tie the knot after she was spotted wearing a ring on her engagement finger, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

It would not be the first time Olivier will have been close to marriage either, though the 45-year-old has never wed.

He was rumoured to be close to marrying his ex Kylie Minogue, who he dated for over four years.

Halle has said previously she was through with marriage following her devastating divorces from David Justice and Eric Benet.

Sharing duties: Three-year-old Nahla's father and Halle's ex-boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry picked their daughter up from school

Later on in the day her ex and Nahla’s father, Gabriel Aubrey, literally picked her up from The Doheny School.

The French-Canadian model, 36, – who has donned clothes for Next, Gianni Versace and Calvin Klein – swooped up his little one up in his arms and she clearly adores her doting father.

Meanwhile, Berry’s ex-husband Eric Benet and his wife of five months have welcomed their first child into the world.

Manuela Testonlini gave birth to Lucia Bella Testolini Jordan on December 21 in Los Angeles.

She has been photographed sporting a ring on her engagement finger fuelling rumours she is set to wed Olivier Martinez.

And Halle Berry was still wearing the sparkler when she picked up her daughter Nahla from school this afternoon.

The 45-year-old actress held her adorable daughter's hand as they strolled the streets of Hollywood in the sunshine.

Mother daughter bonding: Halle Berry enjoyed some quality time with Nahla today

The Catwoman star was carrying a yoga mat and dressed in a casual outfit of grey T-shirt, ripped jeans and a khaki trucker hat.

Her daughter showed she is developing her own style in a cute and girly ensemble of pink jumper, plaid skirt and white tights.

Three-year-old Nahla, who seems to be lookng more like her mother every day, may soon be welcoming a stepfather into her family.

Halle Berry sports ring on her engagement finger... so has Olivier Martinez popped the question?

She famously said she was through with marriage following her devastating divorces from David Justice and Eric Benet.

But perhaps Halle Berry may be ready to try for third time lucky with her latest squeeze Olivier Martinez. The 45-year-old actress has set tongues wagging after being spotted with a sparkler on her wedding finger.

The Catwoman star was snapped wearing a golden ring with a large emerald gemstone in the centre as she enjoyed New Year's Day with her family on Malibu Beach.

And again: She was also wearing the ring when the pair had a romantic lunch in Beverly Hills on December 29

The Oscar winning star sipped on a drink as she showed off the impressive piece of jewellery.

Very nice: A ring with a genuine emerald this size would be extremely expensive

If the pair, who have been dating since filming unreleased thriller Dark Tide at the end of 2010, have become engaged then it means Halle has changed her opinion about the virtue of marriage.

If her beau Olivier has decided to make an honest woman of Halle, it seems to have happened over Christmas.

The Monster's Ball favourite was first spotted with the ring on December 29 as she enjoyed a romantic date with the French hunk

In 2009 she said: 'I will never, never get married again.

'I've come to a place now where I think two people can share their lives without the ring, without the piece of paper.'

Do you have something to tell us? Halle Berry was spotted with a ring on her engagement finger as she enjoyed New Years Day with her beau Olivier Martinez

Of course, at the time she was dating hunky model Gabriel Aubry, and her opinion on him has also changed a lot since then.

Despite the fact they had daughter Nahla together in 2008, they had a less than amicable split in 2010, and have been fighting in the courts over custody of their child.
X-Men star Halle was spotted today in Brentwood, California, however the ring could not be seen as she was carrying a bag.
It is not the first time rumours have circulated the couple have become engaged.

Where's the ring? Halle was spotted in Brentwood today but her ring could not be seen

In January 2011 it was claimed they had agreed to tie the knot after she was spotted wearing a ring on her engagement finger, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
It would not be the first time Olivier will have been close to marriage, though the 45-year-old has never wed.
He was rumoured to be close to marrying his ex Kylie Minogue, who he dated for over four years.

Close: Olivier Martinez has become close to Halle's daughter Nahla and they played together on New Years Day

But the Aussie warbler and French thespian split in February 2007.
At the time they said the decision to separate was mutual and added that they remained 'very close friends'.
So close he even took Halle to see his former lover's show in May last year.
Halle has been married twice before, to baseball star David Justice from 1992 to 1997, and to musician Eric Benét from 2001 to 2005.
The Mail contacted Halle's representative, but have yet to receive a response.

He used to be renowned for his reputation as a serial womaniser.

But since striking up a relationship with Hollywood actress Halle Berry, it seems Olivier Martinez has become far more paternal in his ways.

The 45-year-old French actor was spotted playing the role of doting stepdaddy with Halle's three-year-old daughter Nahla.

Clearly the youngster is a big fan of Olivier, who started dating Halle last year following her split from model and Nahla's father Gabriel Aubry.

Nahla has enjoyed spending New Year with her mother and Olivier.

On Saturday, the couple took the tot to a New Year's Eve children's party in Los Angeles.

Afterwards Halle was spotted leaving, carrying her daughter who had a clutch of balloons in hand.

Last week, Nahla spent some time with her daddy Gabriel, with the pair heading out to the parking wearing matching outfits.

Oscar-winner Berry is currently starring in the movie New Year's Eve alongside stars such as Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher.
