Shakira is known as the “Queen of Latin Music.” Despite being in her 50s, she is not afraid to show off her perfect curves in tight outfits on stage. She always maintains a youthful and energetic look. Let’s find out what secrets help this Colombian beauty maintain her health and youthful appearance regardless of her age.
Workout routine
Six days a week: Shakira has a habit of exercising at high intensity and focusing on dancing, which not only prepares her for shows but also increases endurance and flexibility. It is known that before participating in a tour, the difficulty and intensity of the exercises are increased.
Doing various exercises:
– HIIT workout: Shakira does a 30-minute HIIT workout that includes many full-body exercises such as Burpees, Squats, Lunges, etc.
– Strength training: Shakira likes to train to increase endurance, so she decides to train 3 times a week to tone her body.
– Dancing: Shakira and her trainer often do a simple dance routine like Zumba to achieve a balanced physique. This routine lasts for one to two hours.
– Belly dancing and swimming: Shakira switches between these two exercises on different days and performs both for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
Using the phone only after completing the morning workout: She said that this is a task her trainer requires her to do every day: “Kaiser doesn’t allow me to turn on my phone until I finish my workout and spend time with my children.”
Perseverance and patience: No matter how busy or on tour, Shakira still strictly adheres to her workout routine. When she is away, she contacts her trainer via Skype to closely monitor her training progress.
Healthy nutrition:
She aims to improve her health and endurance, so she often consults with a doctor before planning her weekly menu. Shakira eats a variety of foods but follows a basic plan: eating small, nutritious meals. This helps Shakira stay energized throughout the day.
The singer usually divides her main meals into 5-6 small meals per day, spaced 2-3 hours apart for easy digestion and enhanced metabolism.
Shakira’s breakfast usually starts with a protein-rich smoothie, followed by eggs and avocado. For lunch, her meal usually includes fish, vegetables, light dishes, soups, salads. In the evening, Shakira continues her meal with fish or switches to chicken drumsticks, vegetables, etc. The important thing is not to touch chocolate when hungry.
She eats a lot of fresh foods, eliminating sugar and dairy products. Organic foods are always favored in her meals.
Simple skincare:
