Achieving an A List body doesn't mean you have to have the bank balance of one, according to a personal trainer to the stars.
Harley Pasternak says he keeps celebs like Rihanna and Megan Fox in shape by getting them to wear a pedometer, which can be bought for as little as £3.
'I tell her (Rihanna) to make sure she takes 10,000 steps a day,' the fitness expert told Grazia magazine.
In shape: Rihanna showed off her slim figure at this week's Met Gala... and got in a few of her 10,000 steps a day walking the red carpet
As well as walking, Harley gets the singer to do a workout five days a week that takes just 25 minutes and can be done anytime, anywhere.
'I've put her on a special 25-minute-day workout that consists of five mini workouts,' he explains. 'She does it five days a week, wherever she is in the world... it's easy for her to fit around her busy schedule and even her holidays.'
The workout involves five phases - the first and last are a cardio warm up/down of jogging or skipping, while the middle section involves repetitions for the upper body, lower body and abs (for more information see box below).
Results: Rihanna has been asked to model Armani underwear and this shot shows how her workouts have paid off for her figure
The exercise regime has clearly been paying off as Rihanna has been showing off her toned figure while on holiday in Hawaii recently and hasn't been shy of tweeting pictures of herself in a two-piece.
But the results aren't just achieved through exercise alone.
Harley also gets Rihanna to follow his 'five-factor' diet plan, which he details on his website www.5factor.com.
Instead of the traditional three meals a day, his diet recommends eating small five meals. Each of these meals must contain five key ingredients - protein, fibre, 'healthy' carbs, (eg fruit and vegetables) a 'healthy' fat (eg avocado or nuts), and a sugar-free drink such as green tea or vitamin water.
One perk of the eating plan is that dieters can have a 'cheat day' once a week, when they are allowed to eat treats like chocolate. Harley says this helps his clients like Rihanna keep their diet on track.
'If you're good all the time, you're more likely to slip up and feel bad about your self. If you allow yourself to have a day where to eat anything you like, you'll sta y on track the other six days. That's the secret to a great body and it keeps Rihanna happy,' he revealed.

Get Rihanna's body in just 25 minutes! This is a con. I paid my £3 over half an hour ago and Rhihana still hasn't turned up.

taking 10 000 steps is harder than you think ...I walk 4 miles to work in the morning and thats about 6000 steps, obviously I dont work seven days aweek so, for 2 days aweek I dont get any where near. I think its a bit ridiculus for the average person tbh.

Wow, all the nastiness! I was thinking it's a pleasant surprise to see a celebrity diet which is actually what doctors would reccommend! I'm diabetic and been told 5 small meals was better at keep sugar levels normal and prevents a spike in insulin requirements (which causes the body to store fat and makes you hungry). And as long as your food intake is sufficient for the exercise, 5 small bursts a day sounds perfect! I'd love her figure! Not skinny, not fat, just sleek curves without the bulges :-)

No thanks, I'm 48 and I already have a better figure than her as it is. She has chunky thighs and her calves are out of proportion to them. She also has a flat chest. - Jayne, Gold Coast, 09/05/2012 02:15 And you are so modest too Jayne!

I think this is really irresponsible of the Daily Mail to post. Rihanna does not just work out for 25 minutues five days a week then sit on the sofa eating mars bars does she? She is constantly working which includes physical demanding performances plus a food restricted diet. Yes working out more than you do already is going to have benefits however it's not going to magically transform you into her.

All you have to do to get Rhiannas body is be under 35.
