Shakira<\/strong> <\/a>has hips that don\u2019t lie, and a no-nonsense training regimen to get it that way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love to focus on strength and dance separately. Sometimes if she has a really busy day, we will end up doing cardio on a machine, but most of the time, we are doing dance-cardio,\u201d Shakira\u2019s trainer, Anna Kaiser<\/strong><\/a>, exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly, <\/i>while discussing her eponymous Virtual Studios <\/a>program for $39 per month. \u201cI will teach her a series of routines, and she has used the moves in her performances are in her choreography, which is really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Shakira, 47, completes Kaiser\u2019s dance-centric moves, they move on to a \u201cstrength session.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI usually start with the strength session for about 30 to 45 minutes, and then I\u2019ll add about 15 to 30 minutes of cardio post-strength session,\u201d Kaiser tells Us.<\/i> \u201cHer cardio is more low impact [and] she really loves to get her brain involved and learn new ways of moving and but keep it low impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tFriendship and fitness! Celebs are just like\u00a0Us \u2014 they\u2019d rather stay in shape with the help of their friends or significant others. Whether it\u2019s assuming the downward dog position, hitting the pavement or lifting weights, stars enjoy shedding pounds with their famous acquaintances by their side. Reese Witherspoon, for example, goes on hikes with her [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For the strength portion of the workout, Kaiser advises Shakira<\/a> to do a \u201ccombination of heavier weights, like eight or 10 [pounds], and a burnout.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLighter weight, higher rep,\u201d she says. \u201cMore like my sculpt workouts that I do online. Then we have fun afterward, like, to dance! The dance is meant to elevate and boost the efficacy of the strength training we\u2019ve just finished because at that point your muscles should be fatigued.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shakira balances her frequent workouts \u2014 she trains with Kaiser four days a week \u2014 with her music career, other business endeavors and raising her sons. (The singer shares Milan, 9, and Sasha, 7, with ex Gerard Piqu\u00e9<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s so busy with so many different parts of her day<\/a> [as a] mom, philanthropist, business owner, recording artist [and] producer,\u201d Kaiser says. \u201cThere\u2019s so much going on that by the time we get to dancing, It\u2019s really pushing her endurance and stamina because of everything she\u2019s already accomplished that day. It is a really nice energy lift in the middle of the day too and mood-booster and as well as power components.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tNew year, new you! Now that the holidays have come and gone, it\u2019s time to focus on those new resolutions you\u2019re hoping to stick to. And if it\u2019s eating healthy and staying in shape, Us has you covered. Stars such as Molly Sims, Kate Walsh and more love intermittent fasting. (It\u2019s almost exactly what it [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

According to Kaiser, Shakira fits in training time \u201cwherever she can\u201d to accommodate her schedule.<\/p>\n

Getting abs like Shakira isn\u2019t just due to her workouts, but also her diet.<\/p>\n

\u201c[She gets her abs from] mostly eating nutrients [and] eating around,\u201d Kaiser tells Us. <\/i>\u201cYou want to make sure you have a great combination of protein and carbs after you workout. Feed your muscle. The more muscle you have, lean muscle, you have in your body, the faster metabolism. For every pound of muscle that you gain, you\u2019ve earned an additional 50 calories every day without doing anything. So if you gain 10 pounds of muscle, you\u2019re burning an additional 550 calories a day without working out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fitness guru continued, \u201cSo, in order to do that you have to eat, your muscle has to have to have something to work with. The most important time is right after your workout so that they have the fuel to recover and repair themselves and that is good quality protein and nutrient-dense carbs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shakira typically eats an omelet and greens for breakfast, a salad with protein for lunch and then a \u201csmall dinner\u201d of protein and steamed vegetables.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe does have a crazy sweet tooth on top of it,\u201d Kaiser adds, revealing Shakira used to keep a \u201cdrawer of sweets\u201d with candy, chocolate and Nutella in her home. \u201cI used to have to watch her very closely. She\u2019s much better now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kaiser, who also attributed Shakira\u2019s killer bod to \u201cample amounts of sleep,\u201d further noted that she is no longer militant about the musician\u2019s indulgences.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not specific about it anymore because she really understands it doesn\u2019t make her feel good,\u201d Kaiser says. \u201cYou start to tune into your body more as you age. I don\u2019t really police the sugar intake like I used to but I\u2019ll tease her about it for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHealthy eaters only! While most stars stick to balanced diets with the occasional cheat meal thrown in every now and again, there are some celebrities who are known for keeping to very strict eating regimens almost all the time, with little room for flexibility. Take Kourtney Kardashian, for example. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kaiser adds, \u201cShe gets really hungry during abs when we\u2019re doing core she\u2019s doing an exercise at the end of a hard workout. \u2026 We like to keep coconut water in the studio so she can have something at the end of that workout.\u201d<\/p>\n
