Figure-Flattering Leggings from Trainer to the Stars

Tracy Anderson and Gwyneth Paltrow appeared together on Oprah

Fitness guru Tracy Anderson has created a capsule collection of body-type-specific exercise clothing at Edition01. Anderson partnered with one of her famous clients, Gwyneth Paltrow, who told this month's InStyle Magazine, "These leggings minimize each woman's problem areas and are stylish and comfortable."

Anderson says she believes that we tend to perform better when we look in the mirror and like what we see. She had had a history of custom-cutting pants for her celebrity clientele and that is how the idea for the line emerged.

Anderson's renowned work-out program, which was recently profiled in The New York Times, divides women by body type and tailors the exercise program accordingly, with the routine changing every 10 days to keep the body challenged.

Similarly, the leggings, which are available online, are also designed for specific body-types. Selections include the Glutecentric (instant butt lift), the Omnicentric (all-over control), the Abcentric (waist slimming) and the Hipcentric (thigh-thinning).  

If you need help selecting the right style to flatter your body, Anderson's web site has a feature called a "Body Type Calculator" that allows you to figure out your specific body type.
