Star trainer Senada Greca has worked with some high-profile celebrities in her life and according to the fitness expert, getting a Hollywood figure is just five minutes a day away.
The personal trainer, who has worked with stars including Kim Kardashian and Miranda Kerr, appeared on the Jay ShettyThe On Purpose Podcastwhere she shared her tips for creating healthy habits.
Senada, who is also the founder of the ReRise app, offered advice to those unsure of how to start their own fitness journey.
“I always say to start small,” he advised. “One step at a time.”
“Start with 20 minutes, start with five minutes, or even one minute, and then build that habit,” Senada suggested.

The fitness guru explained that it was about creating a consistent habit “day after day.”
“We often think that what is needed is motivation, but that is not the case,” he shared.
The expert explained that basically, building healthy habits comes down to making it more accessible for you to make your own healthy choices.
“It’s a habit we create daily,” he joked.
Senada also talked about the importance of creating a routine, suggesting exercising at the same time every day and making it as easy as possible.
“If you’re going to the gym, lay out your workout clothes and shoes the night before — some people even wear their workout clothes to bed because it eliminates another step,” she suggested.
“So how can you make it more accessible and easier for yourself to achieve it?” the fitness expert added. “Don’t leave it to chance until later in the day.”
Senada acknowledged that exercising for just five minutes seems like a tiny amount to start with, but he says it’s the foundation for a solid base to build a solid exercise habit.
She advised starting any journey by taking the smallest step first when starting a fitness journey, which can begin with five minutes of movement a day and building it up until it becomes a habit.
The expert explained that basically, building healthy habits comes down to making it more accessible for oneself to make healthy choices.
“That’s the key to making fitness a lifelong activity, because for me it’s not a sprint, but a marathon that lasts a lifetime,” he said.
Senada told Jay that he “won’t see drastic results” at first, but that it’s about building up to something bigger.
“Five minutes a day for one week, ten minutes the next week for another week, and then you start building up from there again — that makes it more accessible,” the celebrity trainer noted.
In terms of what you can accomplish in five minutes, the fitness fanatic suggests starting with a walk or run on a treadmill, followed by some squats or deadlifts.
“It’s going to target some of the bigger muscles in your body; maybe you’ll do some rows and then cover some moves,” she explained.
She had some suggestions for exercises to do at home for people who didn’t have gym equipment, such as doing squats from a sitting position to standing on the couch or using the couch to do hip thrusts.
“I firmly believe that you can turn anything you have at home into something to exercise with,” she said.
Senada spoke about working out with Kim Kardashian and described her as a very dedicated person when it comes to working out.
The fitness expert not only devotes herself to physical exercise, but also recognizes that meditation helps her mental health.
“Meditation is very important, I try to incorporate it every day,” she shared, adding that she also journals before bed and practices gratitude.
Senada spoke about training with Kim Kardashian and described her as a very dedicated person.
“She arrives on time and is ready to go, she never complains or backs down from anything,” the trainer gushed.
Senada added that working with celebrities helped her spread her message of strength.
“I believe in working with these people who have so much influence because of the impact they will have on the general population,” he explained.
“Through them I can send a message of strength to women. Strength is beautiful, strength is confidence, whatever that means,” she continued.
“Strength doesn’t have to come with big muscles, but if I can send that message of strength, especially to young women, then my purpose is fulfilled.”
