Want a Body Like Rihanna? Check Out Her Workout + Diet Regimen

A better question: Who wouldn’t want a body like Rihanna‘s?! The ‘You Da One‘ singer is almost as famous for her taut tummy and toned limbs as she is for her record breaking musical success. Lucky for you, we have all the tips and tricks from RiRi’s personal trainer to get your bod as ‘Hard’ as hers.Rihanna’s trainer, Ary Nunez, told Shape magazine that her regimen is varied but consistent. Rihanna incorporates calisthenics, martial arts and, of course, plenty of dancing into her workouts — and a lot of each. “We focus on the core muscles, and we do a ton of repetitions,” Nunez told the mag. That explains how her stomach stays so flat!

Diet and nutrition play a big role in Rihanna’s physique. While she may enjoy a few hedonistic nights (and days) every now and then, she’s very conscious about what goes into her body — the girl needs a ton of energy to entertain like that! ”It’s more about feeding her to perform,” Nunez said, so Rihanna sticks with protein-rich foods and steers away from starches. Rihanna’s typical meal consists of fish and vegetables.

However, Nunez admits that though Rihanna’s got a great work ethic, she’s a difficult client to train. “Working with an artist like Rihanna has different demands than most,” Nunez said. “We train when she’s ready … even if we’re on the road and it’s 2AM. I’m on call 24/7 with her.” Next time you claim you’re too busy for the gym, imagine Rihanna’s hectic schedule and remember that she still makes time!
