“I’m constantly moving, somewhere in a hurry and anxious,” – says 37-year-old singer, whose trim figure and a well-groomed appearance just knocks down. The impression that the work until midnight, recording new songs, particularly in the duet with Rihanna shooting and flights are not reflected in its appearance.

Over the past few years the star managed to travel the world with his new show – there were 115 concerts, to release studio album, Sale El Sol, all of which she combined with the work of mentor and member of the jury in the American version of the “Voice.” And in January 2013th Shakira Milan had a son (his father – a famous Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué). No, not the boy they named after the Italian city where conception occurred. “We just wanted to name her son was with a deep sense – says Shakira.- “Milan” in Sanskrit means “merger”.

How to keep fit

Shakira looks above their 156 cm thanks to a slim figure. And, of course, on a high platform shoes doing their job. Like all employed women, the singer does not always find time for sports. She admits that she has not been in the gym for a month (although it is unlikely to tell).”A woman with a child must keep pace with so many – and you can do yourself a favor! – Laughs the singer. – Record Searches care of Milan, to be a perfect girlfriend for Gerard … So much to do! Something you have to sacrifice!

The problem is that when I do not go to the gym, then getting used to it. Doing sports, I do not abuse junk food. But as soon as I throw workout – let the appetite run wild. Chocolate – first and foremost. I allow myself to be led by their desires. Never stick to a strict diet, but nevertheless always try to eat less carbs and give preference to vegetables and fruits. It is not fried and grilled. By the way, tomorrow – again in the hall! “

Shakira says it helps her stay slim balance in food, if there was something greasy lunch, dinner will be something easy. Or if she knows that he would go to the restaurant in the evening (and, of course, there overeat), then the next day refuses to dinner at all.

But if the Colombian beauty is gaining a few extra pounds, it is not sorry about it. “I’ve never been a slave of his image, I can accept myself for who I am, and I believe that my body does not have to be perfect – Shakira says, paying tribute to Gerard and his ability to not notice her excess weight. – I think the body should be harmonious and not ideal and perfect.This means it is necessary to eat right, drink plenty of water and get enough sleep. I love to be in shape, because it significantly raises self-esteem and self-confidence – which is always sexy! ”
