"Yes, that Harley Pasternak, the one who trains like, every celebrity ever (and who gave us the how-to for getting a body like Gaga&amp;#x27;s in our April 2012 issue). Guess what I learned?1) Now I know why Gaga looks like that, 2) big shocker, but I&amp;#x27;m not exactly in Hollywood shape and 3) see number 2. 5-Factor Fitness The Workout: Celeb trainer Harley Pasternak&amp;amp;#8217;s personally designed circuit workout that&amp;amp;#8217;ll make you remember why Gaga picked him to train her. I was as excited to meet the smiling, friendly muscle man as I was to try out his new signature New Balance 5-Factor 997 trainers. But after Harley and his crew took us through a cardio warm-up, abs (crunches and planks), arms (flys and dips), legs (squats and jumps) and a cardio cool down that was as intense as my normal day at the gym, I was convinced Harley had me on his People to Kill list. The workout was only a half-hour, and the short, five-minute circuits didn&amp;amp;#8217;t seem like they&amp;amp;#8217;d beat me to a pulp, but surprise! No one in our small group of fitness editors could get through the full five-minutes of reps without a breather. (Jess at Fit Chick in the City has a great breakdown of the circuits&amp;amp;mdash;that&amp;#x27;s her in the pic above!) I&amp;amp;#8217;ll just say that I knew Harley knew how to deliver results before I exercised with him&amp;amp;#8212;but now I&amp;amp;#8217;ve officially felt it. I loved how every single move could be done at home, even in front of the TV&amp;amp;#8212;not a piece of equipment necessary. Intensity Factor: 8/10. Quite possibly the most full-throttle, productive 30 minutes of my life. I felt the burn during, and carried around a souvenir of soreness for a couple of days afterwards. Would any of you take on a half-hour challenge like this? So far, I&amp;#x27;ve: *Gotten drenched from martial arts *Felt the pure burn at Pure Barre *Been tangled up at TruePilates *Gone extreme!
