Adele's ex-trainer shares motivational tip that helped her weight loss journey

Adele’s former personal trainer has explained one of the secrets that helped the chart topping star shed an incredible seven stone in the space of a year.

Hello singer Adele, 32, stunned fans earlier this month when she showcased her slimmed down figure as she shared snaps of herself wearing a little black dress.

And now former trainer Pete Geracimo has explained the power of positive thinking proved to be a key tip that helped Adele focus on her training.

The London based fitness expert worked with Adele from 2012 until 2016 and says he is proud to have seen the ongoing progress of his star client.

He told Us Weekly: “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.”

He also said he never felt uncomfortable around Adele – despite her wealth and success.

He said: “The funny thing is, I never treated her any differently than I would any of my other clients.

He added: “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.”

Pete used to train Adele for one hour at a time, two or three times per week.

The Rolling In The Deep star underwent a radical transformation in recent months following the collapse of her businessman Simon Konecki.

The singer and the philanthropist began dating in 2011, welcomed son named Angelo in 2012, wed in 2017, and split in September 2019.

Adele said she was addressing her heartache by throwing herself into the gym, saying in an interview: “I used to cry but now I sweat.”

Patient fans of the singer are hopeful 2020 will see the release of her long-awaited fourth studio album.

Adele’s last record, titled 25, was released back in 2015, while a new album was rumoured to be expected this year – however may have been pushed back due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
