Personal Trainer

Beyonce’s theory of staying fit is practical. She says that there is no quick fix and she believes that it takes more mental strength than physical strength. And personal trainer does not matter at all as it is us ultimately, who need to work on the body. Though, she still takes help from celebrity trainer, Marco Borges. She works out in the form of interval training, lunges, squats, planks, etc. She has a do-anywhere 5-minute workout, which she executes regularly to stay fit and remain in shape. She is also a follower of the Master Cleanse diet but does not recommend it much as there are other healthier ways to lose weight.

Quotes

“THERE’S PLENTY OF DAYS WHEN I’M LIKE ‘OH GOD, WHY?’ BUT THAT’S JUST LIFE. IT’S EVERY JOB, NOT JUST MINE. EVERY MOMENT IS NOT PERFECT. BUT IT’S DEFINITELY MORE GOOD TIMES THAN BAD. YOU CAN’T EVEN COMPARE. AND WHEN I’M ON STAGE IT FEELS INCREDIBLE. THERE ARE CERTAIN NIGHTS THAT YOU KNOW YOU HIT THAT CRAZY NOTE AND YOU KNOW THAT SPIN SPINNED EXTRA FAST. AND YOU LOOK OUT AND PEOPLE ARE JUST INTO IT AND YOU’VE WORKED SO HARD AND NOW IT’S PAYING OFF AND YOU CAN SEE WHY YOU DEDICATED YOUR LIFE TO THIS.”
