Gwyneth Paltrow is absolutely rockin’ the latest issue of SELF magazine.  This girl can do it all and she does it so well.  I love her new second career in music.  It’s fun, fresh, and completely entertaining.  Thank you Glee!  She dished to SELF about her diet and how she keeps fit.  Here are a few excerpts from the article:

Are you in the best shape of your life? “Yes. I never thought that I’d be considered to have a good body. I was bony up top and kind of dumpy on the bottom. But my trainer, Tracy Anderson, completely changed my legs, butt, arms and stomach. I feel better than ever, too.

So what’s your secret? “I do 45 minutes of cardio five days a week, because I like to eat. I also try for 45 minutes of muscular structure work, which is toning, realigning and lengthening. If I’m prepping for something or I’ve been eating a lot of pie, I do two hours a day, six days a week for two weeks.”

What’s your cardio workout? “I do Tracy’s dance aerobics classes. It took me a long time to learn the choreography when I started. I was so uncoordinated! After 11 minutes, I’d pass out and cry and say, “I can’t do this anymore!” Now I can’t live without it. You do it to loud music, and it’s fun.”

Do you have, ahem, challenge areas? “My butt! My butt, butt, butt. When Tracy met me, she said that I had a long, square butt that she was going to redesign, and I was, like, “Yeah? Good luck.” The amazing thing is, she was right! And it’s still changing!”

I love that she is human like the rest of us.  I find it hard to believe that she has butt issues, she is so perfect, but look at her workout!  Whew!  That’s dedication!
