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

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.

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.

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

There is no quick easy way to the body you want... commit yourself now to your workout and get started.

Juice fasting destroys your metabolic rate. I see a lot of women who are like, "Oh, I lost seven pounds and then I gained 10." That's not what detoxification is about.

If you want a dancer's body, dance. Dance aerobics is my favourite cardio. It's very frustrating if people think you have to become a dancer to do it - you don't.
