According to Angelina and her personal trainer, Gunnar Peterson, it’s all about circuit training and a little yoga on the side.

“Like every mother, my wish every birthday is for my children to stay healthy, for my family to remain healthy, so I will continue that,” she told E! Online. And Angelina does just that.
According to reports, the A-list actress not only focuses on eating a high-protein, low-carb diet to help her stay in shape, she also makes sure to focus on circuit training combine with a 5-10 pound dumbbell. Movie time also kicks it up a step for Angelina; when she was preparing for her role in “Sleeping Beauty,” Jolie was put through tough yoga training sessions to build up her core strength.
Not only was the star expected to be able to perform in the air while hoisted by a harness, she needed to be able to do so with a pair of giant, heavy wings attached.
“She made me do yoga, and I have no patience for yoga,” Jolie recently told USA Today. “It’s not something I do easily because I’m not a still person. But I was forced to do yoga because (to fly) you have to have your core strength to be able to hold yourself.”
