Trainer Tracy Anderson Sizes Up Gwyneth and Madonna’s Fitness Styles

Gwyneth, Tracy & Madonna, post-workout

Trainer Tracy Anderson has been in the news since she parted ways with her most famous client, Madonna, this week. A rep for Tracy says that the breakup was amicable- so perhaps Madonna is on to another type of workout? We’ll wait to see what she’s into next…

Tracy was still able to give her input on the varying fitness styles of her most famous clients, who all seem to develop Tracy’s signature sleek build.

Check out what Tracy told Fox News:

On Madonna:

“She is like a professional athlete, [her regime] doesn’t apply to the general public. She doesn’t run. It’s an intense workout. When we were on tour: two hours a day, dance aerobics for an hour and muscular structure for an hour.”

And Gwyneth Paltrow:

“Gwyneth does the work consistently, she’s a mum and career woman and still gets her workouts in. She only does my method. That is it. There is no running. There is no random exercise. I advise against running. No spin classes. You can’t use your muscles over and over – it creates a bulky thick figure. You want long and lean and your muscular structure more balanced. Gwyneth is amazing cook so she can enjoy family and friends and food and not be a slave to exercise all the time.”

As for Tracy’s weight loss method:

“If you have weight to lose cut out wheat and dairy, processed foods and carbs. For breakfast I’m a huge fan of ‘think thin’ bars. I think they are the best protein bar on the market. It is good because it has good carbs that won’t make you feel bloated. Or a hard-boiled egg.

Don’t deprive yourself of chocolate – have a few scoops of sorbet. I am a chocolate freak so let’s just be real. We’re women and we crave certain things. Understand that even if its tough, get your workout out of the way, and get your body in a certain zone.”

With the results that Tracy’s clients have seen (she also trains Courteney Cox and Shakira), this is advice I’ll keep in mind!
