Beyonce appears in the June issue of
Self magazine and a big topic she talks about deals with her diet and what her workout regimen is (and whatever she does, she does pretty frickin well!)
On How She Stays in Shape: "I'm trying to do as much cardio as I can, so if I have a really long day of dancing [in rehearsals], then I'll only run maybe 3 miles. If not, then I'll run 6. I'll put on a song that I really like and do [biceps curls with] 5-pound weights the whole song and just try to burn out."
On Her Figure: "Ever since I was a little girl, my legs have been curvy and pretty muscular, but my arms have always been really skinny. They were so weak, I could barely hold a mic. But now I can do push-ups! Ten at a time!"
On Muscle-Laden Physiques: "To me, it's sexier when it doesn't look like you go to the gym. If you look like you've been spending a lot of time in the gym, then it just looks like you spend a lot of time in the gym. So I never want to get to that point where it's not natural. I think it's important to feel like a woman, as well as look like a woman."
On Her Diet: "I'm not one of those people who doesn't have to work at it. I can't eat what I want, and I can't not go to the gym. I feel best when I'm not really thin and not really heavy, like now, when I'm still curvy. I really believe that everyone is supposed to be different, and whatever is a natural weight for you is usually what looks best."
