• Demi Moore seems to defy age with her super-sleek figure. How does the 39-year-old star of the upcoming Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle stay so lean? Moore, a mother of three, used to bike 30 miles before breakfast and even cycled 22 miles on the day she gave birth to her second daughter – but she has long since quit extreme exercising, PEOPLE noted in November 2002. These days, Moore stays trim with swimming and inline skating.

• Reese Witherspoon, who often works long hours on movie sets, can afford a masseuse to help her relax. But, for those of us who can't, the Legally Blonde star, 27, has an alternative: tennis balls. Witherspoon uses an inexpensive, at-home trick to ease tense muscles, InStyle reported in spring 2002: Duct tape two balls together, then lie on a mat with the balls under your back. Roll your body up and down with the balls on either side of your spine for a great massage.

• Joan Collins has been raising temperatures since she first burst on the London theater and film scene in the 1950s. So how does the 69-year-old bombshell, who claims she's not a fan of plastic surgery, remain so gorgeous? "(Sex) is one of the best and cheapest beauty treatments there is," the Dynasty diva told the BBC World Service in October 2002. Luckily, Collins's husband, Percy Gibson, is 32 years her junior!

• Anne Heche knows that the best way to stay committed to a fitness regimen is to have an exercise buddy. Hers is her year-old son, Homer, PEOPLE noted in February. "Jogging strollers are really cool," says the actress, 33, who uses her son as a bit of extra resistance during runs and hikes in the Hollywood Hills. The baby also hangs out during mom's yoga practice – and the relaxation techniques have worn off on him. "Homer is a very calm baby," Heche told the magazine.

• Mathew St. Patrick, who plays the gorgeous, gay ex-LAPD officer Keith Charles on HBO's hit show Six Feet Under, is a former personal trainer – so he knows how to keep his body in fantastic shape. He plays tennis, hikes and takes 20-mile bike rides, among other activities. But no matter what workout he chooses, St. Patrick, 34, always makes sure to stretch for at least 30 minutes beforehand. "You can't expect your muscles to perform," the actor told PEOPLE in May 2002, "if they're not warmed up."
