Swiffer Your Way to a Hot Bod With Tracy Anderson and Gwyneth Paltrow

The cleaning gods have smiled upon us because you can now exercise with your Swiffer — or if you’re like me, that thing your man brought home one day, which you ignored for a month until you finally broke down and used it.

Anyway.

It’s tough to work out in sub-degree weather but we can’t let mother nature stop us from getting our Beyoncé on, amirite? Thankfully celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, who trains and is friends with Gwenyth Paltrow — which means she is probably hella annoying very knowledgeable about this kind of stuff — says we can stay fit with a stick because science.

There are four distinct moves, the stick crunch, the stick lean kick, the stick plank lift and stick twist reach, writes Elle. Apparently these movements will help us to avoid the Paltrow “long butt” that strikes fear into the hearts of women everywhere. As for me, I’ve not spent a bunch of time ogling GP’s backside, but I dare say that I’ll pass on Mrs. Coldplay’s rear and request a Beyoncé or, even better, a J.Lo “ass like a shelf.” Can Swiffer do that for me?
