Description:
Harley Pasternak works with a slew of A-list celebrites, including the stunning Megan Fox, Jessica Simpson, Lady Gaga, Natalie Portman and Jordana Brewster, but his expertise goes far beyond the gym. He has a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology and Nutritional Sciences from the University of Toronto and an Honors Degree in Kinesiology from University of Western Ontario, and he worked as a scientist before turning to personal training. He’s also a motivational speaker, author, and television host, and shares his insights on food and fitness using his handle @harleypasternak.
He won't stroke your ego or let you off easy—even if your name is Katy Perry, Amanda Seyfried, Megan Fox, Lady Gaga, or Jennifer Hudson. He'll push you hard and you'll love it (or at least the results you'll get). Yes, this fitness and nutrition pro, author of The 5-Factor Fitness Plan, is known as a formidable taskmaster. But his philosophy (an ongoing lifestyle plan) is actually pretty simple: Eat five meals a day, plan five-ingredient meals, do 25-minute workouts, and treat yourself to five cheat days a month. If you can do simple math and follow his straightforward orders, you'll be hugely successful.
