The party girl workout: How It girls stay in shape

For Reznik, a proper diet is equally as important as his "cardio that won't kill you" credo. He advises cutting down on carbs in the evening and eating small, healthy meals every three to four hours during the day to keep your metabolism up and blood sugars stable. "People binge on junk food and justify it by saying they'll just burn it off at the gym," he says. "But that's the equivalent of a person with a gambling problem saying that he'll fix things by earning more money."

It takes a careful balance of drill sergeant and gentle guide to successfully manage a savvy socialite's excuses for not working out, but part of Reznik's charm is that he takes it all in stride. "One time, I went to a client's house to train her privately," he remembers. "She opened the door, dressed to the nines, and said she wanted to treat me to breakfast so we could have a get-to-know-you chat. I told her we could get acquainted just as easily while she was on the treadmill."

Reznik's favourite whole-body moves
BURPIES: From a standing position, drop down to a squat and place your hands on the floor by your feet. Jump your legs back so that they are stretched out behind you (in a push-up position) and do a push-up. Pushing off the floor, bring your legs back under you and spring up high into a full jump. Repeat 10 times. "If this is too challenging, a lighter modification that's still very effective is the yoga exercise Salute to the Sun."

TWISTING PUSH-UPS: After completing a push-up, raise one hand up to the ceiling and turn your whole body sideways, parallel to the floor-the side of your foot and your heel should be touching the ground as well. Bring your hand back to the floor, do another push-up and repeat on the opposite side. Repeat up to four times. "This works your core and gives you flashbulb-ready arms," says Reznik.
