Did you happen to see the April issue of Glamour magazine? If not, you are in for a treat today! Glamour chatted with Lady Gaga’s personal trainer, Harley Pasternak, who helped her get that ridiculous body and he gave away all kinds of tips on how to get that body in 4 weeks!

For full disclosure, Pasternak is the creator of the 5 Factor diet, so you have to take into consideration Gaga most likely follows his diet of 5 small meals a day.

Like most of us, Gaga hates working out and wanted to find a workout that was efficient and can be done in 30 minutes or less. Pasternak suggests starting with 30 minutes of cardio two days a week, then do the following circuit on three days. It only takes 25 minutes and then you can get on with your day, after all you do have a wedding to plan! 🙂

The First Week

1. Start with five minutes of cardio like jogging or jumping jacks. Then, without resting…
2. Do 30 reps of a lower-body strength move like squats or lunges.
3. 30 reps of an upper-body strength move like push-up, bicep curls or shoulder presses.
4. And 30 reps of an ads move like crunches (STILL NO REST)
5. Then do a 15-second cardio burst of “phantom” jump rope.

Repeat steps 2 through 5 two more times (so you’re doing a total of three sets), swapping in a different upper and lower body move and ads exercise for each step. Finish with another five minutes of cardio.

Then amp it up!

Week 2: Do four sets of 25 reps of each move, and a 30-second cardio burst.

Week 3: Do five sets of 20 reps and a 45-second burst.

Week 4: Do six sets of 16 reps and 60 seconds of cardio.

After your done with this workout you’ll need to take in your dress one more time. Good luck! 🙂
