The former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland works out as often as possible but insists she doesn’t do so in order to be as thin as possible.
She said, “It’s not all about dress size but also about being healthy as well. I’ll never be a size zero. I’m happy being a size 10, but I want to be healthy. I work out every other day at least. If you don’t then I don’t think you see the rewards. Even if you can get 30 minutes of cardio in every other day you’ll see a big change in yourself.”
She further says, “While it’s great to have a routine, it’s important not to limit yourself to certain times of day. It’s easy to get home from work and say, ‘Oh, I’ve missed the gym.’ Do 30 minutes on the bike or some sit-ups. I am a big believer in keeping the body toned. Twenty minutes each on the bike and the cross trainer are great for that. Also sit-ups are the only way to a flat stomach.”
Kelly follows a healthy eating plan, but doesn’t believe in depriving herself of her favourite foods.
The X Factor judge insists it’s important to treat yourself on occasions because complete deprivation doesn’t work. She explained, “There’s a great diet called the 80/20 diet, which means you make sure 80 per cent of the stuff you eat is good and the other 20 per cent is your choice. It’s great because it means you’re not depriving yourself of anything.”
