Yeah, that plays in, too.

I do think her role in "Savages" could be a reason, though. From what I read her character's supposed to be tiny and thin, right?

Celebrity fitness special: Blake Lively's body secrets

Her birthday is just around the corner and as 'Gossip Girl' star Blake Lively enters her 24th year, this one looks set to be a little different.

The actress embarked on a demanding new fitness program 18 months ago and the amazing results are plain to see.

Here celebrity trainer Bobby Strom, the man responsible for Blake’s athletic new shape, reveals the secrets behind her toned frame.

Bobby, who met Blake while she was filming the 'Green Lantern' last year, says the starlet had experienced little fitness training before he began working with her.

"She had a really nice shape when we met and is healthy anyway, so it wasn’t as if she needed to lose any weight," he says.

"At first it was more about improving Blake’s strength, core and aesthetics. She also had a couple of stunts to do for the movie which she wanted to be proficient at."

Blake began working out with Bobby for 90 minutes, three or four times a week before filming her scenes for the comic book movie and the trainer says that her body shape changed almost overnight.

"Maybe three weeks after we’d started training together she did a photo shoot. She came back and told me she looked different," he says with pride.

"Blake’s shoulders, arms and back did look fantastic!".

Bobby's work-out method, named Functional Training, targets weak areas and activates different muscles to adapt and grow, a technique which did wonders for Blake.

"Several exercises that we might do are what's called Unilateral Exercises, for example standing on the left leg, then raising the right arm with a dumbbell.

"With Blake, we’d do around 20 repetitions on each side with all these different sorts of movements. I did them all pretty light, so the weight she used would be around 5llbs.

"I wanted Blake to build lean muscle, but not bulk up. We did circuits, so that she was continuously in the fat burning zone.

"With both my regime and her dedication, Blake became much more toned and athletic."

And Bobby says that he and Blake had a great time together, despite the gruelling nature of the sessions.

"We had so much fun. Blake would think of names for some the exercises and try and remember them," he says. "She loved it! The time flew by because we laughed, but we still worked very hard together."

Blake, who plays party girl Serena Van Der Woodsen in 'Gossip Girl', overhauled her diet as well as her fitness regime.

The actress now juices beets, carrots, celery and kale to keep her energy up during the day and enjoys 'superfoods' like Tabbulah salads and Quinoa dishes.

"I’d advised her not to have cream sauces and to eat lots of fruit and vegetables," he says. "It was great to see someone who hadn’t trained and eaten like this really appreciate what I’d taught her and change her body.

"That’s what’s so nice and endearing about training Blake. She was so appreciative of my work, but she put the hard work in and it paid off!"

Bobby's Top Tips

1) Enjoy diverse training exercises and give yourself a dose of novelty from time to time.
2) Eat lean proteins in the form of eggs, fish and turkey. Healthy fats came from virgin olive oil, almonds and avocado and low GI carbs were provided by foods like quinoa. Reduce salt, sugar and high GI carbs like flour, paste and white bread.
3) Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
4) Eat regular, smaller meals.
5) Maintain and persevere with what you’ve achieved!
6) Allow yourself your treat food like cheese or chocolate but don’t over indulge, usually once a week.
