When we discuss about youth and fitness, we always take the reference of Madonna. She has crossed fifty years of age, but still she can dare to feature in music videos with junior artists like Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears! We always find the blonde beauty in her original grace. So what are the secrets of her prolonged youth?
A few years ago, Madonna featured in the music video "Tick Tock" with Justin Timberlake as the co-singer cum co-star! It is worth mentioning that Timberlake managed to fit in with Madonna, who is of his mother's age! And not the reverse! Madonna had her usual grace in the song and no one could really make out that she was actually approaching 50 years of age! Madonna has evolved as a fitness guru over these years. Let's see what her fitness regime consists of:
- Madonna follows a strict routine of Ashtanga Yoga which bestows her complete physical fitness.
- She has managed to say "No" to junk food items.
- She follows the instructions of her personal health and diet coach.
- The star has adopted an organic whole food diet which consists of lean proteins.
- She has given up eating at the restaurants.
- Her macrobiotic diet consists of whole grains, meat, fish, beans and vegetables.
The macrobiotic diet involves daily intake of whole grains, choice of plant-based proteins over the animal proteins, use of natural sweeteners like maple syrup and rice syrup and giving a re-consideration to the consumption of dairy products.
The singing star reveals that she used to undergo sessions of running and weight training while touring in the past, but now her fitness regime only consists of Ashtanga Yoga, also known as the power yoga. This yoga consists of difficult poses and students need to change poses quickly. These tough physical activities build up strength and stamina in the body and add flexibility to the muscles.
