Fitness Magazine has compiled a 'fit list' of the stars with the best bodies and body parts for this year -- take a look.

Which famous personality has the best legs of 2012? Or cleavage, for that matter?

In the following pages, we bring you a list from Fitness Magazine's December 2012 issue, intended to provide you with a little added inspiration to hit the gym!

Best Revenge Body: Katie Holmes

The former Mrs Tom Cruise divorced her husband earlier this year and has never looked better, earning her the title of 'Bet Revenge Body'. She beat out pop star Katy Perry, who the magazine declared runner-up.

With her rock-hard mid-section, it's hard to believe that Gwen is going on 44. And yes, she's a mother too!

She's a professional dancer, so it's only natural that two-time winner of Dancing With the Stars Julianne has a body worth showing off.

According to the magazine, her star attraction is her toned back, which bumped Charlize Theron to second spot.

Best Baby Bump: Claire Danes

At 46, Halle Berry is still in amazing shape and so this honour went to her. Aside from hitting the gym, she also follows a careful diet, particularly since she is diabetic.

American TV personality and actress Brooke Burke was also given a mention.
