Madonna Defends Her Workout Routine
PrintMadonna Defends Her Workout Routine">
What do you think of Madonna's body, specifically her pipes? Unfortunately, the quote that sticks in our minds is when her former husband Guy Ritchie said hugging her was akin to cuddling up to a piece of gristle. Well, he would know, wouldn't he? Or would he? If you believe tabloid gossip, the rest of the story goes that Ritchie was habouring resentment over his wife's daily four-hour workouts that left little time for him. The couple split up over a year and a half ago and Madge is now famously spending her time with 22-year-old Brazilian model, Jesus Luz, who we are going to guess doesn't have any complaints about cuddling up to his very rich, very famous girlfriend.While we admit to preferring a slightly softer female physique, Madonna is 51 and she is likely very healthy and she looks good. Thus, she has little reason to explain herself to anyone, yet, she recently told British TV show, GMTV why she is so dedicated to her exercise routine.
"(I do it) for health reasons, and for aesthetic reasons. If I have to go out on stage and, you know, jump around in a pair of hot pants I better look good and also when I perform I'm like an athlete and I have to be in good shape. I'm not panicked, I just know what my job is and I know that if I want to be able to wear whatever I want to wear on stage then my body better look good."
What are your thoughts? Is Madonna inspiration or cautionary tale?

Madonna is an inspiration. I work as a personal trainer so I understand the commitment and dedication that goes into extreme fitness. Congratulations to her and her trainer for getting the results to achieve a lean and svelte (slender or graceful in figure or outline; slim) body. Madonna mentions she does it for health reasons as well as aesthetic reasons. Both are commendable reasons makes sense when you look good you feel better. Yours in Fitness and Health

Madonna can workout however she likes...we all have a choice and our bodies are meant to be crafted to our liking. As for fitclick.com...I have seen this "advertising" in the comments before and it is irritating...it is not a great website, and it promotes mainstream healthy lifestyles that are totally opposite to what this website is going for i.e. the hormone diet and the 30 day challenge. Please people, stop advertising for your "healthy" websites or products
