Janet Jackson's Trainer Reveals How the New Mom Lost 70 Pounds

"She thought she'd have to lose more and I knew she wouldn't. You can see how she looks. I mean her waist is tiny. She looks incredible and she's so fit, but she's also healthy," Paulette explained. "She looks incredibly healthy. She actually looks smaller in person than the pictures. If you see her and think she looks small, you stand next to her and she's even smaller."

So what are the specific steps Janet took to lose the weight? Paulette revealed that her original regiment was based around weights. In fact, the pair didn't do any conventional cardio such as working on a treadmill or cross trainer.

"We were doing three or four exercises with weights back to back. What that does—you would look at her and think she'd done like an hour of cardio with me—but when you're working with weights and you're working the muscle that way, it elevates the heart rate, but also it's creating that fat burning affect both during the session and also when she left me, and that was key."

When it was time for Janet to hit the road for her critically acclaimed State of the World tour, you can image the nightly dances alone kept the singer healthy. But according to Paulette, the focus has now turned to maintenance and "adding a little bit more lean muscle and sculpting."
