Want a hug from Gwyneth Paltrow? You might just get one starting December 16 with her new AOL web series alongside Tracy Anderson, titled The Restart Project. In the trailer, Paltrow and Anderson embrace women who have triumphed over adversity, injury, and setbacks through the power of diet and exercise—though their hugs might not be the coziest given their toned physiques.
Anderson emphasizes that the show isn’t focused on fitting into “skinny jeans,” perhaps hinting at a preference for her signature, form-fitting leggings. The duo appears to divide their roles, with Gwyneth taking on the empathetic host position—offering a literal shoulder to cry on—while Anderson steps into the role of the fitness expert, demonstrating a low-impact side-squat exercise for one of the participants. Of course, it wouldn’t be a fitness show without some butt exercises making an appearance!
