Eve's training for her new film left her feeling "like an 80-year-old woman".

The rapper-and-actress has been in rigorous training for her role as a "roller derby chick' in new film 'Whip It' - which is about the roller skating contact sport - and she admits it has taken its toll on her body.

Working with a trainer is intimate, as it is with a hairdresser. My trainer texts me when I'm away, asking how my training is going, but I'm horrible. It's unfortunate, but I need adult supervision.

She told Women's Health magazine: "I used a lot of Tiger Balm.  I felt like an 80-year-old woman!

"But everybody does an evaluation when they turn 30, and I became a lot more body-conscious.

"I want to keep my booty in order. When you're 23, you can lose five pounds in a week because your metabolism is fast.  

"I don't want to do unhealthy things to lose weight fast for something like a photo shoot. I do want to feel amazing in my clothes, though."

The 'Let Me Blow Ya Mind' singer - who stars in the movie with Drew Barrymore and Juliette Lewis - also revealed her personal trainer encourages her to train even when she's on tour.

She added: "Working with a trainer is intimate, as it is with a hairdresser. My trainer texts me when I'm away, asking how my training is going, but I'm horrible. It's unfortunate, but I need adult supervision."

However, Eve is in complete control of her diet and makes sure she avoids the more calorific alcoholic drinks.

She added: "I like vodka sodas, which most trainers say is the best thing to have if you're going to drink, because one is only around 70 calories.

"I don't do the mixed drink thing, but I'll have wine. When I do, I try to cut out the dessert or skip the bread at dinner."
