David Higgins, Robbie's longtime trainer, recently spoke with about what it was like to train the Barbie cast. And he was happy to share some of his favorite behind-the-scenes memories.

That included the day he saw Robbie kick off her heels and do a full Pilates workout in her Barbie hair, makeup, and costume.

She was dressed up in one of the 'Barbie' outfits, full wig and everything, Higgins recalled. She jumps on the Reformer and we do a quick 30-minute express workout. She said, 'Don't make me sweaty!'

She just needed to move, and that's the beauty of Margot, he added. She knows her body so well. She knows what she needs to do and will sneak it in when she can. I was talking to her as she's doing whatever she's doing on the Reformer and I was like, 'This is crazy.'

Higgins, who is also the author of The Hollywood Body Plan, said he still regrets that he didn't take a photo of the moment, although he did snap a picture after Robbie beat the Barbie cast at a plank challenge.

While Higgins took the top spot with a plank that lasted five minutes and 32 seconds, Robbie wasn't far behind after holding her plank for four minutes and 10 seconds.

She beat out costars Ryan Gosling (three minutes and two seconds), Hari Nef (two minutes and 15 seconds), and her husband Tom Ackerley, who clocked in at one minute and 36 seconds.

The Barbie cast worked out together during filming, and Higgins said the atmosphere in the gym was always full of laughs — which was different from the superhero movies he's worked on, including The Batman.

What was fun about the 'Barbie' movie was, because of the subject matter, it sort of promoted a sense of fun and a sense of levity that other films might not have, he said. Like 'Batman, ' for example, Batman's quite a dark character and that kind of translates into other areas of the film as well, and that was quite an interesting experience. Having Barbie be so pink, it really infiltrated every aspect and every area of the film.

Robbie stayed committed to her role as Barbie throughout filming, implementing mandatory pink days on set, drinking cups of special tea to keep her skin glowing, and doing four days of Pilates per week with Higgins.: ‘I love food, I love wine and I love having a good time with my friends. But I also don’t love the feeling of knowing that I don’t look my best.’

She’s big on #balance, like all of us. It’s a case of ‘walking the line between having as much fun as possible and continuing to take care of myself, ’ she said. ‘Eating well and exercise need to be prevalent in my life so that I can feel my best, but I don’t want to dwell on it too much.’

Margot Robbie's Secrets Behind Her 'barbie' Physique And It Isn't As Extreme As Ryan Gosling's Training For Ken

When it comes to prepping for movie roles, however, she doesn’t mess around. She puts in some serious graft, but she’s always made the purpose of these extreme training regimes clear: to embody a particular character, and you needn’t do the same.

, Margot also refused to sign up to the film until there was more diversity in manufacturer Mattel’s line of Barbie dolls (they recently added a “curvy” design and a Down’s Syndrome Barbie), saying: ‘If [Mattel] hadn’t made that change to have a multiplicity of Barbies, I don’t think I would have wanted to attempt to make a

‘I don’t think you should say, “This is the one version of what Barbie is, and that’s what women should aspire to be and look like and act like”.’ With that in mind, then, here’s everything we know about Margot’s exercise routine and what happened when I tried it for a week, to inspire or motivate you - not for you to take as a training blueprint.

That exercise is simply part of her lifestyle (‘I like to play tennis, run around the park or do a dance class with girlfriends’), she credits a dynamic version of Pilates as her go-to discipline.

‘If I’m making a conscious effort to exercise, I work with a Pilates trainer on a reformer machine, and that suits me and my body best, ’ Margot said.

Margot told Australia's Body & Soul that her regime involved plenty of time in the gym to build muscle, including ‘weights, mostly, and lots of sit-ups. It's all the stuff you know you're meant to do, but just can never be bothered to do.’

I Trained With Barbie Star Margot Robbie's Fitness Coach

, Margot’s former trainer, Andie Hecker, shared that Margot did ballet and barre-inspired workouts for two to three hours a day, five days a week, per Insider.

In particular, Andie told People they would focus on outer glute and thigh moves. ‘We did a lot of heavy-weighted, low reps of arabesque pulls hooked up to resistance pulleys, as well as arabesque lifts with heavy ankle weights in order to build and lift the butt, ’ she said.

One key difference: ahead of a movie, Margs trains for much longer per day - her trainer Andie said she would work out for two to three hours a day, five days a week, but described it as ‘very intense’ and told Shape that she wouldn't recommend it ‘as the norm for anyone who isn't a highly trained athlete.' Needless to say, I was happy to take Andie’s advice. Don’t get me wrong, I know that the above routine certainly isn’t easy, but I’ve been on the hunt for a new challenge for a while, and I was keen to see just how strong I could get. Here’s what happened.

Today isn’t too different from my norm. I head to my usual weekly reformer Pilates class at Power Pilates UK and, as usual, love it. I’ve been going for almost two years now, so I take the intermediate/advanced class, but the studio also offers beginner sessions.

Core strength is a key principle of Pilates, and today’s session includes three sets of hundreds and three sets of hollow holds. My abs are shaking, and I start to feel apprehensive about the 100 sit-ups to follow.

I decide to give myself a break before I tackle them; class finishes at 1.30pm, and I take on my sit-ups straight after work, at 5pm. This definitely helps as it gives me time to refuel and hydrate (I aim for at least 2L of water per day), but I quickly realise I probably would have been better off splitting my target of 100 into sections: 50 in the morning, 50 in the evening.

The Barbie Movie Trainer Talks Cast Workouts

I’ve learnt my lesson from day 1, and so I bash out my first 50 sit-ups as soon as I wake up. Interestingly, I find that barely being awake means my mind can’t quite compute what I’m doing, and they feel easier.

I then go straight into my 60-minute lower-body weight session, using a pair of dumbbells and ankle weights I have at home. I had pre-empted needing to go for lighter weights since I’d be training more frequently this week than usual, but I find I don’t feel as weak as expected yet and am able to stick with the same load.

‘For the glutes, we did heavier resistance and lower reps to work on building that muscle a little more. I included heavier ankle weights than I would normally give someone — I would give her 5-pound ankle weights. We’d do lower reps, so 20 leg lifts with that ankle weight on and then take a break to move on to the other leg to do another 20, making sure her glutes were doing it and not her hamstrings.’

Although challenging, I’m surprised by how do-able the session feels, but by the time my second set of sit-ups comes round in the evening, I’m pretty whacked. Every exercise included in my workout requires a lot of core strength, and I can feel my mid-section is fatigued, but with a few rests, I manage to hit 100.

Margs takes two rest days per week, and I'm relieved - there’s no chance I’m getting through this week without a break. Plus, I know that rest and recovery is when your muscles get the chance to grow back stronger after tiny tears are created during weight training (a process known as hypertrophy), and if I’m going to continue with this routine, I want to give them the best chance of growth.

I spend the day working from home, bar a 30-minute walk around the block at lunchtime, to encourage blood flow to the muscles in my legs and reduce Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).
