Lose weight with Madge's trainer!
Tuesday 20 January 2009
Madonna’s personal trainer, Tracy Anderson, 33, is an American ex-dancer who has developed her own tough-talking fitness regime, which promises to transform anyone with ‘body issues’ of any kind into a lean, mean, fitness machine!
Tracy has worked with Madonna and Gwyneth for the last two years and has recently been touring with Madonna on her Sticky and Sweet Tour.
Tracy has developed a unique and varied training method that she updates constantly to achieve the best results possible for her clients.
And now we can all have a go at sculpting our muscles because Tracy has a new DVD out called the Tracy Anderson Method Dance Cardio Workout.
"Touring with Madonna has been fun but it's hard work” says Tracy, on the phone to Closer from her hotel in Brazil.
“She’s a superior talent and athlete. It's different when you’re training an athlete, because she has a 'game' every night – in Madonna’s case this game is a show. The training is more hands on and I change it all the time, but every day I train at least two hours a day”.
She assures us though, that it’s possible to transform your body from the moment you start using her DVD, as long as you show some devotion!
“To get fit with my method, you should do it every day to begin with for half an hour if possible. Do this and you’ll start to see changes immediately.
“It might sound like a lot of hard work to the novice exerciser but at least you’ll be throwing yourself in the deep end”.
The regime could see a weight loss of around half a stone in two weeks but Tracy is keen to stress that it’s more about training your body than strict dieting.
"Dieting is different to eating healthily. I eat a lot of greens and vegetables, grilled fish and chicken, but I also indulge myself! Hand me a piece of chocolate cake with frosting, then I’m keen!"
Phew – anyone who still eats chocolate cake is ok by us – give the DVD a go and tell us what you think!
