EAT CLEAN
To replenish herself after a workout, the 40-year-old typically goes for a plant-based protein smoothie full of pea protein powder, almond milk, frozen fruit, and spinach. In 2018, Beyoncé announced that she was going to go vegan for 44 days in order to prepare for Coachella. For this, the “Drunk in Love” singer partnered with Borges, who created the 22-Day Revolution plan. The plan is centered around eliminating animal products from your diet for 22 days and most people on it also cut alcohol from their diet.
BE YOUR OWN MOTIVATOR
Whether it’s a picture of an Oscar by her treadmill or a dress she wants to fit into, Beyoncé always has a way to motivate her- self to work out. And it’s no sur- prise that the singer uses music as one of her main workout motivations. Give some of Beyoncé’s fast-paced anthems a try for your workout routines.
BE OPPORTUNISTIC
Being an opportunist isn’t always a bad thing. Although she may be busy, Beyoncé knows when she can fit in a few extra calorie- burning moves no matter where she is. Below is a circuit workout she posted on Instagram:
Standing side crunches – 10 reps per side Full body sit up w/medicine ball – 20 reps Alternating dumbbell punches – 10 per side Explosive lateral bench hops – 10 per side Forward lunges – 10 per side
BE REALISTIC
She has the right outlook. Beyoncé knows that there isn’t a quick fix when it comes to a healthy lifestyle. “The truth is, it’s a lot of sacrifice. It’s more about your mental strength than phy- sical strength. You have to push yourself. It doesn’t matter what trainer you have. And it doesn’t matter what program you’re on. You have to be healthy and make the right choices,” she says.
BE TIME CONSCIOUS
Beyoncé is a fan of celebrity trainer Marco Borges, who trains her using his signature Power Moves philosophy. This system helps save time since it relies on exercises that work sev- eral muscle groups at once. She also saves time by interval train- ing, alternating between sprint- ing and running while on the treadmill, to burn more calories in a shorter amount of time.
