You need to be dedicated to your workout, whatever you choose.

A lot of women use pregnancy as an excuse to let their bodies go, and that's the worst thing.

Madonna is an athlete; she has to be treated like a professional athlete. She doesn't work out for six hours a day, though, like some of the press says. She never works out for more than two hours a day, and then only when she has the time.

I have done research about people who think they're doing movements and people - like Madonna and professional dancers - who are actually 'performing' movements. The people who can connect and perform during their workout get results way above and beyond the people who are just going through the motions.

I heard a lot in school, 'You've got a really great talent, but there's no way you're going to be a dancer with that body.
