She Wears A Heart Monitor
Shakira works with trainer, Anna Kaiser, to help herself stay in shape. Kaiser shared some of the singer's workout secrets in an interview with Glamour. Shakira wears a heart monitor when she works out. "She works out five or six days a week and wears a heart monitor to make sure that she's working out optimally. This isn't something that's achieved in two or three weeks."
She Does A Variety Of Workouts
Kaiser tells Glamour that Shakira does a variety of things to keep herself in shape. "Once a week, she does my AKTread (a dance-based treadmill workout). Three times a week, she'll do dance-based interval training. One to two days a week, she'll do approximately 45 minutes of just toning exercises. And on most weeks, she'll do a cardio-only session. Almost all of my clients follow this routine."
She Dances
Shakira is known for her dance moves. Kaiser tells Glamour that this is a big part of her fitness. "She loves it. As someone who doesn't necessarily like working out, she enjoys that she has to use her mind when dancing. Dance makes the workout feel like it's not a workout. It's a very proportioned movement. Your body moves in a very connected way."
She Eats Healthy
Kaiser broke down Shakira's diet in an interview with E! News. "Let's see, so breakfast could be eggs or avocado with olive oil, tomato, sea salt, then a smoothie, berries, plant protein, sometimes greens or green powder. Then for lunch, we have fish and fresh vegetables or a salad with lots of colors. Afternoon is, I know it gets really busy, but we'll do a soup. There are some really good artichoke soups, or it could be a leek and eggplant soup, carrot ginger, and sometimes with a side of cucumbers with lemon and salt. For dinner, she'll also do fish and veggies. It's usually cold for lunch and warm for dinner. Or, like, what does she love? Pork chops. Pork chops are my least favorite food (laughs), but she likes them. Sometimes there will be dark chocolate, like a really pure dark chocolate with little to no sugar in it."
She Believes In Balance
\Shakira makes sure to eat healthy. However, she also isn't afraid to indulge. "She's good about it in general, but she will treat herself," Kaiser said to E! News. "Balance is really important. Having those moments where you're allowed to cheat every once in a while is also very important."
She's Committed
When it comes to wellness, Shakira is all about being consistent. Kaiser says that she is motivated to stay in shape. "Shakira's committed to fitness and wellness, and not just to be in shape for a specific event," Kaiser told the New York Post. "But so that she can continue to perform injury-free into her 40s and stay healthy."
She's Focused
Kaiser tells E! News that Shakira is extremely focused. "She's filming new music videos, she's coming out with new music, she's still really involved with her philanthropy schools in Colombia. There are just so many things happening at one time. Plus she's a mom, she has kids and she wants to spend time with them too. There's just not enough hours in a day. So we have to refocus. Refocus, realign, and find ways to try to be present."
