"I'm not the typical choice to play a badass,\" admits Zoey Deutch, the smiley eighteen-year-old actress who got her start on the Disney Channel and grew up on a makeshift farm outside Hollywood with pet horses. After proving her acting chops with her film debut in Beautiful Creatures, she's ready to show the world she can hold her own in a fight against evil vampires as the butt-kicking Rose Hathaway in Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters, a movie adapted from the hit paranormal book series.\n\nTo get into enemy-slaying shape, Zoey committed to an intense six-days-aweek gym-training schedule composed of boxing, calisthenics, protein-packed meals, and, of course, Kanye West on heavy rotation: \"His music is the only thing that gets me through that hundredth sit-up!\" she explains with a laugh.\n\nIt's a major adjustment for the former vegetarian, who hadn't set foot in a gym prior to taking on the role. \"I never thought I would become that person who loves working out,\" she says. \"It sucks while you're doing it, but the second you finish, it's like, Wow, I feel great! I'm stronger and much more confident.\" Zoey is quick to admit that she never would have reached this point without her training coach, a luxury she knows most teens don't have. \"I wouldn't have had the tools. Everything out there about fitness seems so extreme. It's frustrating,\" she says.\n\nBelieve it or not, berfit celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson can relate. \"Sometimes hormonal changes can trigger the onset of weight gain. I went to college on a dance scholarship and gained 35 pounds,\" she says. Without proper guidance on ercise and nutrition, many teens turn to unhealthy measures, like calorie counting, skipping meals, and obsessing over their size. That's why Tracy created Teen Meta, a four-disc workout DVD with dance-cardio sequences designed specifically for a growing girl's body. \"Teens shouldn't be doing the same workouts adults do,\" says Tracy, who works with adolescent stars like Abigail Breslin and A-listers from Gwyneth Paltrow to Jennifer Lopez. \"You need to do moves that use the entire body and challenge coordination to create flexible, long muscles and strengthen the connection between the mind and body. This helps you stay fit as you get older!\"\n\nTracy's advice to teens is to incorporate focused 30-minute ercises into your school week and eat foods that fuel your body. Similarly, Zoey believes a balanced lifestyle is the key to feeling your healthiest and happiest. \"I'm not going to give up salt and sugar because I want to look like Adriana Lima,\" she says. \"But I am going to work out to make myself feel good in my own body.\"\n\nCheck out some products to help you work out and two exclusive workouts from Tracy Anderson here."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
