”Every woman absolutely can look like Madonna”

Madonna’s personal trainer Tracy Anderson has some harsh words for Welsh women who want to look as fit as the Queen of Pop on the Wales on Sunday today.

“Every woman absolutely can look like Madonna. Madonna’s a performer. I need to make sure she can get up in front of 75,000 people on a tour that’s going to suck the life out of her – that’s why she needs to work so hard. Madonna’s a gym nerd – but not everyone needs that insane commitment.”

“Women confuse their bodies because they’re confused themselves,” Tracy says, adding “archaic” fitness research and gimmicks that play on emotions are to blame.

“They go to the gym one day, and running another – you’re never going to get results that way,” she said. “Work on your butt and abs for 30 minutes a day and you’ll see the difference – but you have to be committed and you have to apply it.”

“Madonna and Gwyneth are completely dedicated and never mess around. They had to give up yoga and running to work with me – I wouldn’t have it any other way. Madonna’s an amazing dancer and she’s obsessed with dance aerobics, whereas Gwyneth’s really sassy. She likes anything that works the butt!”

But Madonna’s muscular frame has been described as making the 50-year-old appear starved and manly – and does every woman really want to look like her?

“Madonna doesn’t listen to the criticism,” said Tracy, adding: “Women like Kelly Brook and Kim Kardashian look great too. You don’t have to be super-skinny to be sexy.”
