GWYNETH Paltrow makes it look easy, with flawless skin and a toned figure at 42.

And now the Iron Man star has spoken about how she stays in shape and motivated with celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson.

The Oscar-winner says working out is “like brushing your teeth”.

New York-based Anderson, 40, has also trained Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Nicole Richie, and built an empire around the “Tracy Anderson Method” (Anderson is reportedly worth $110 million, according to Huffington Post).

So what is the most useful advice Anderson has given Paltrow?

“I remember there was a certain point when I felt like I was going to cry,” Paltrow said, speaking to Hamptons magazine.

“When I started, I was doing it six days a week because I was trying to get in shape for Iron Man.

“I just physically and mentally couldn’t do it anymore. It was just too hard for me.

“You (Anderson) said to me, ‘Don’t even think of it like that. It’s not an option. It’s like brushing your teeth. You get up and do it.’

“I had such a powerful shift that day,” Paltrow said, speaking with Anderson to Hamptons magazine.

“You showed me how to take the option out of it and make it something you do for self-care as a woman who wants to feel good in her body and feel healthy and feel strong.”

Paltrow and Anderson — who also trains Girls star Lena Dunham — are business partners and have opened a fitness studio in East Hampton.
