Gwyneth Paltrow Pummeled into Submission

…sorry. I got your hopes up. I didn’t mean the title literally. I should be more careful about that. It won’t happen again… until it does. Gwyneth Paltrow discusses how she worked out, hard, in order to get in shape for Iron Man 2; a movie one could guess she spends wearing knee-length dresses and sensible shoes. Apparently being so covered for the movie requires the actress to gain 10 pounds of muscle and to be pummeled into submission by her trainer.

“My trainer, Tracy Anderson, basically, like, pummeled me into submission and made me do all kinds of crazy things. She really changed my body for this movie”. [Gwyneth] Paltrow, who gained 10 pounds of muscle for the role, said her included high-intensity dance aerobics. “If I’m home with my kids, I still like to do it [workout] every day, but I don’t go as crazy. I will do cardio one day and legs another day.” [Us Weekly]
