Personal Trainer
Tracy Anderson works out regularly to keep her famous figure in perfect shape. Her workout sessions last for about an hour. She divides her workout session into 30 minutes of cardio work and 30 minutes of muscular work.
For the cardio, her preferred choice is dancing. However, she doesn’t mind going with jogging or aerobics. She doesn’t like indoor cycling. If she has to cycle, she prefers to head outdoors.
For the muscular work, she relies on dynamic waving arms at every angle possible. It also involves lifting the very light weight over high repetitions. However, instead of focusing on bigger muscles, she focuses on smaller, stabilizing muscles. Also, she is not a fan of some traditional core exercises such as crunches and sit-ups.
As per her diet, she prefers to keep it simple. She also allows herself to indulge every once in a while. She likes to start her day with a wellness shake, which counts kale, banana amongst ingredients.
For lunch, she likes to have quesadillas with cheese. However, as she is allergic to gluten, she goes for organic corn tortillas and for cheese, she likes organic cheddar cheese.
Flounder is her choice for dinner. It is a light fish dish served over creamy mashed potatoes and along with sautéed Brussel sprouts. She takes care of her hunger pangs with organic chocolate.
