Rihanna is known for her amazing vocals, revealing outfits and goddess-like legs and curves. It’s evident she works hard to keep that body and in past interviews she has even confessed to working out at midnight to keep her body in shape. Now, her workout habits have landed her in some legal trouble as she is being sued by her past personal trainer, Cindy Percival. Percival filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles last week claiming $26,144.14 in unpaid wages during 2009.

According to Percival she was hired by Rihanna for “exclusive personal training services” at $1,500 per day. What a salary! The two trained together in September and October of 2009 and Percival has yet to see any of that money. In addition, she’s seeking $2,644.14 in travel expenses for the time she worked with Rihanna while traveling in Europe.

So far, Rihanna’s representative has not made any comments but before jumping to conclusions let’s remember that this occurred approximately the same time when Rihanna was living a nightmare with singer Chris Brown. Paying a trainer was probably the last thing on Rihanna’s mind.

The R & B diva Rihanna has one amazing body and considering her reputation for wearing skimpy reveal-all outfits on stage it’s only natural that she has to be careful with her diet and exercise plan. Her personal trainer, Ary Nunez, gave OK! magazine the inside scoop on Rihanna’s on-the-go diet and strict exercise practice. In regard to working out Ary likes for Rihanna to have a total body workout and at all times keeping her heart rate up at 75 to 85 percent so that she’s always burning fat. Ary said,

“She starts with working the core stabilizer muscles, then the lower body and upper body. I aim to target all muscle groups.”

In addition, Rihanna is very dedicated so if they have to wait until midnight to workout, then that’s what they’ll do and they actually have a 12am workout.

When it comes to Rihanna’s eating habits she has to eat light meals and snack a lot since she’s so busy with touring and making special appearances. For example, she’ll eat bbq-flavored popchips that are only 100 calories or she also like hard-boiled eggs and fresh papaya. Ary said,

“Rihanna eats when she gets hungry and has fruit and protein at every meal.”

Rihanna is a disciplined woman who’s serious about her art, her music and her body.

Summer’s her folks, and celebrities are dishing out their secrets to sexy beach bodies. In the latest issue of Life & Style magazine, Rihanna, Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and Cameron Diaz were a few of the celebs doing just that.

Rihanna says she plays up her long legs with a little wrap, but also does a little preparation before she spends a day in the sun.

“I like wearing a bikini with a cover-up that’s loose, not too long and a little bit sheer. If I know I’m going on vacation, I’ll do Pilates for two weeks straight.”

And when it comes to choosing a swimsuit, Kim prefers tie bottoms because they allow you to adjust the amount of coverage. But she’s also a fan of working out before hitting the beach.

“I love to put the treadmill on maximum incline and run backward. It’s good to switch it up – run forward for 10 minutes, then backward for 10 minutes. Repeat for 40 minutes total and you’ll really see results in your booty.”

We recently profiled Rihanna’s diet and exercise plan that got her in the best shape of her life. Looks like it is paying dividends as the 19-year old Barbados singer was just named 2007 Venus Breeze’s “Celebrity Legs Of A Goddess” by Gillette Razors. She’ll also be promoting their 2007 “Legs of a Goddess” competition, a nationwide contest to find the women with the most beautiful legs in America.

In time for her June 5th release of her new CD, Girl Gone Bad, Rihanna has told Us Weekly that she has been hitting the gym and revamping her diet to make a “complete transformation.”

She works with her trainer on strength training and runs the treadmill three times a week. Rihanna has replaced skipping meals with frequent small meals and snacks every 4 hours. She’ll have pineapple and lemon water for breakfast, soup for lunch, snack of egg whites, and chicken for dinner. Her hard work is obviously paying off. Recently she dropped a size and looks fabulous!
