SUPERSTAR Adele broke the internet earlier this month with a new photo showing off her “100-pound” weight loss, and, now, her former trainer is sharing the secret to her success.

Pete Geracimo revealed he had specific ways in which he would keep the 32-year-old singer motivated during workouts.

Adele, who filed for divorce from ex-husband Simon Konecki in September, has been keeping a low profile while working on her fitness, but she shared a very slimmed-down photo of herself thank fans for their birthday wishes earlier in May.

After training the Grammy winner from 2012 to 2016, Pete was proud to see his former client make large strides in her fitness journey, and he told Us Weekly he helped give her some motivational tools to do so.

He shared: “When we had low days, I would alter the workout so that it would ease her into training, get her mind off of what was bugging her and then, before you knew it, we were having a good session and working hard.”

The duo would work together for an hour, two to three times per week, and he always loved watching her “really get into the challenges” he put her through during their sessions.

Pete continued to the outlet: “The funny thing is, I never treated her any differently than I would any of my other clients.

“I don’t get starstruck and just trained her as if she was not famous. I loved her sense of humor and we’d laugh a lot of the time.”

It was Adele’s newly-formed competitive side that helped propel her forward in her weight loss journey.

She always wanted to improve from the time before, the fitness coach shared, causing her to work harder and really push herself, even though she “wasn’t a fan of training in the beginning.”

In the time since the trainer and trainee parted ways, Adele has continued to ramp up her exercise regimen, leading to the newly-toned figure she’s been giving fans rare glimpses of over the last few months.

On May 6, newly-single Adele showed off her slimmer face and leaner legs in a little black dress on Instagram, writing alongside it: “Thank you for the birthday love. I hope you’re all staying safe and sane during this crazy time.

“I’d like to thank all of our first responders and essential workers who are keeping us safe while risking their lives! You are truly our angels. 2020 okay bye thanks.”

The mother of one’s close friend Lauren Paul also shared a glam throwback snap of the singer from their time in Las Vegas together, where she posed in a tighter, short black dress, black tights, tan boots and an updo.

Fans immediately reacted, commenting on how “unrecognizable” Adele looks in both photos, while also telling her how “amazing” she looks and how tiny her waist is now.

Aside from her new look, the 32-year-old might also have some new music on the way.

Michael Ashton, the English singer’s make-up artist, shared a photo of the star doing her eyeliner while on a video call with him, teasing: “BTW…. EXCITING NEWS COMING SOON!!

“GET READY TO GET ON BOARD.”

The singer has not released an album since 2015’s 25, and had previously said she would release her fourth studio album in September of this year.
