Health Sure there's no place like home. But there's no place like this, either. Celebrities' Stellar Workouts ALISON ASHTON Special to The Jewish News elebrities are just average folks, insists trainer-to-the-stars Mark Stevens, even if they don't believe it. Well, OK, but the rich and famous don't work out like you and me — unless, of course, you follow a grueling routine two hours a day under the watchful eye of a trainer like Stevens. That's why actors preparing to go before the cameras go to Stevens' Brentwood, Calif, studio that goes by the no-non- sense name The Gym.

'We don't recommend that people do hard-core, intense workouts," he explains. But actors often come to him with limited time to get into picture- perfect shape. He'll design a schedule based on their needs — which usually depends on how much skin they'll show on- screen. "Some people are known for one area of their body and we'll work on that," he says. An actress who knows she'll spend much of her time in a tank top might work on toning her arms, while an actor who will take off his shirt will want to add definition to his chest, abs and shoulders. Nude scenes require overall perfection. Just think of actor Brendan Fraser, who spent four months pumping iron to bulk up to the car- C Introducing The Heritage Wing.
