Shakira-Approved Health Habits You Can Totally Steal

OK, seriously: Have you seen Shakira lately? While she’s always looked amazing, her health and fitness game is straight fire these days. It’s not by accident—Shakira works seriously hard to look that good. Lucky for the rest of us, her trainer has spilled her secrets here and there. Here are the health habits Shakira swears by

1 Set a schedule.

Anna Kaiser, who has been Shakira’s go-to trainer for years, told E! News that the singer works out five days a week.
2 Get your heart rate up.

All of Shakira’s workout goals revolve around her heart rate monitor. It “keeps her the most focused,” Kaiser told E! News.

3 Strengthen your core.

This is important for Shakira, Kaiser told Us Weekly. “We focused on leaning out, strengthening her core, and boosting her booty—and then toning her arms like crazy,” she said.

4 Go big on intervals.

“We alternate between strength and cardio intervals,” Kaiser told E! News. “Some days we do just cardio and then strength and some days we start with strength and then do cardio, we like to mix it up.

6 Be smart about your training.

Shakira wants to know what she’s doing and why, Kaiser told W magazine. “She’s very smart and she wants to learn about the body and she wants to know why she’s doing what she’s doing and what her goal is, what she’s trying to accomplish,” she said. “And that’s why we’ve had such a long relationship, because she knows what a stickler I am for functional smart training, but I also make it really fun.”
