The blonde beauty's trainer Andie Hecker has revealed details of the rigorous exercise regime Margot had to go through to get the figure she wanted.

Andie told PEOPLE magazine: "She was a total trooper. It was very satisfying to see her body change into exactly what she wanted it to look like in such a short time ... There's a scene in 'Suicide Squad' where she changes clothes in front of a bunch of dudes, so her abs needed to be impeccable. And in those tiny shorts Harley wears, her butt was constantly on display ...

"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. We also did a ton of side series outer thigh work, targeting outer glutes with high reps and low weights, to pull those muscles in and create a beautiful line from the waist to the upper thigh ...

"We also mix in non-bulking cardio such as jump rope, rebounder and ballet jumps - which are surprisingly the most challenging form of cardio I've ever come across."

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old star previously admitted she is "grateful" to play Harley Quinn in the DC Comics blockbuster.

She said: "It's so are as an actress that you get given a role this messed up and gritty and funny. He didn't write it like a chick but he wrote it for a chick and I'm grateful. It's so rare that chicks get to play this role."
