Gwyneth Paltrow worked hard for her buff Iron Man 2 body.

Her trainer put her on a super strict workout plan for the action flick (out May 7), Paltrow, 37, told UsMagazine.com at the Hollywood premiere Wednesday night.

"My trainer, Tracy Anderson, basically, like, pummeled me into submission and made me do all kinds of crazy things. She really changed my body for this movie, Paltrow -- who gained 10 pounds of muscle for the role -- said of her workouts, which included high-intensity dance aerobics.

She's since scaled back her gym routine.

VIDEO: Want a six pack?

"If I'm home with my kids, I still like to do it [workout] every day, but I don't go as crazy. I will do cardio one day and legs another day," she told Us.

Paltrow is looking forward to a laid back summer with her husband Chris Martin and kids Apple, 6, and Moses, 4.  "I just want to hang out with my kids and my hubby," she said.

Even though she calls her children "a lot of work," she said on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show to air Thursday, "I would love to have another child at some point. I feel very, very lucky that I have two healthy nice ones."

Moses and Apple "sometimes" have screaming temper tantrums, she admitted.

"They're kids and they have to do what they have to do. You just have to wear earplugs sometimes..." she joked.

    You don't even know Gwyneth personally. Who are we to judge. I agree with ohwoman, if you don't like her, don't post.

    Kendall: no that would be Scarlett "Slutface" Johansson: she's been on the alld*ck diet as long as we all can remember-but Ryan was still fool enough to take a chance with the little d*ck sucking whore! Gwenyth is MUCH TOO CLASSY to do that!!!

    LOVE Her, hate the outfit!

    Gwenyth looks BEAUTIFUL- LOVE her!! She could have worn that slinky catsuit and done it justice as easily as Scarlett Johansson.. Gwenyth is taller and thinner anyway- if I'm gonna pay 10 bucks per movie ticket to see an actress in a catsuit, I want to see someone thin and graceful llike Gwenyth- NOT someone who has too many bulges and is zaftig like Scarlett! Scarlett didn't crash diet??!! PLEASE!!!!She HAD to-they told her to- like she had to get that gross dye job that ages her a million years and is MUCH too dark for her skin tone...

    She went on the all d*ck diet!

  • April 28, 2010 - 12:47pm ?????

    She looks the same as she always has...skinny...I don't see any difference from the way she looked before.....

    I know we shouldn't be such haters, but with Paltrow I just can't help it. She is so darn smug. She is a total B-lister who somehow has the media believing she is an A-lister. She doesn't even headline this movie and she has never been able to get butts in the seats at the movies.

    She's every bit as weird as Tom Cruise. (Well, almost...)

    I like GP. I read her newsletter GOOP often and have learned a lot from her. She is thin and not curvy but that must be what makes her feel the best. As far as what she and her husband do and how much time they spend together or apart is their business, not ours.

  • April 28, 2010 - 7:25am Does Gwyneth Paltrow have any other thoughts in her head besides starving herself, diets, detoxes and exercise.

    I agree with others, she's a total weirdo.

  • April 28, 2010 - 7:15am ohwoman

    good grief people, hate much? if you don't like her, don't post...period. don't get nasty.

    This Paltrow is an all around fraud and fail. She is such a liar. Fun to call her out on it. I bet she never wants another kid w/Martin. They live separate lives. Who does she think she's kidding?

  • April 27, 2010 - 10:05pm jen

    Her body looks nice but she has no curves. Besides that she's WEIRD.

  • April 27, 2010 - 9:15pm Paltrow is the most self absorbed woman on the planet. Can't stand her.

    Let's face it, she anorexic. All she EVER talks about is diet, detox, exercise, etc. Of all the things in the world, this is what Gwyneth Paltrow obsesses about - her body. She's beyond shallow. I cannot stand her.

    I'm happy that Gwyneth didn't polish her verbose regarding children, "children "a lot of work...tantrums...". I'm so sick of hearing parents said, "It's wonderful to be take care of my kids...". B@#$sh#t.

  • April 27, 2010 - 6:37pm shanna

    Does she wear any other color besides white or beige? I find it quite odd.

  • April 27, 2010 - 6:27pm Nicole B*tchie

    SHES A HATER AS B*TCH, GLAD WYNONNA DUMPED HER PASTY WANNABE ANOREXIC A$$

  • April 27, 2010 - 5:36pm CKSW
