Award winning actress and singer shares her secrets to losing weight and keeping it off.
She described her current workout routine which combines strength training and cardio:
“On days when I’m short on time, I do this workout called Trilogy, which is cardio and strength combined: I do 25 squats, 25 push-ups and 25 ab moves, then rest a minute. Then I do them in reverse and rest another minute. Fifteen minutes and I’m done!
Self Magazine September 2011
Alston’s signature workout routine, the "Trilogy of Terror".
I gave the workout a shot to see if I could handle it. After 20 minutes of cardio to warm up, we started the Trilogy: 25 squats, 25 crunches, and 25 pushups, followed by a one-minute break. Then again, and again, for a total of four sets. Around my 15th pushup in the first set, Hudson got to that song where she belts out, "And I’m telling you, I’m not going," and Alston started singing along in falsetto. When I couldn’t do any more pushups, he let me do "the girl version," with knees on the floor. Alston, 44, designed the Trilogy for people on the move, for people who like to work out at home—and who go on tour.

People magazine said “With the help of trainer Lafonza Alston, Oscar Award winning celebrity went from a size 16 to a size 10.”
US Weekly magazine said “Chicago based trainer Lafonza Alston gave celebrity actress a plan she can do on the road.”
The Beverly Review quoted Alston saying, “it’s not natural for people to want to go beyond their comfort zone. They want to stop after that initial burn, but that is just the beginning of the workout.”
TV show “Extra” featured Lafonza Alston’s signature workout the “Trilogy of Terror”.
Chicago Magazine calls Lafonza Alston Chicago ‘s very own celebrity trainer and featured Alston ‘s signature workout.
Alston, although Chicago based,
has also trained in Miami, Atlanta,
Los Angeles, Hollywood, Minneapolis, D.C., and in New York
“Lafonza credits the combination of running and a workout called “Trilogy of Terror”. It’s just a simple routine of 25 sit ups, 25 press-ups and 25 crunches repeated four times,” explains Lafonza. The first week you do it, you rest for 60 seconds between sets, the next week knock off five seconds of your rest. Repeat that for 12 weeks so eventually you do four sets with no rest”.
