14 DAY TRIAL // Singer Pink has a background in gymnastics and is a vocal lover of all outdoors physical activities. However, she’s the first to admit that she works incredibly hard to stay in such amazing shape.
Pink is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Women’s Health magazine. The photospread is accompanied by a lengthy interview, in which she reveals some of her secrets to staying fit.
Pink, it turns out, loves variety and taking risks. She works out about five times a week, and does a variety of routines including running intervals, circuit training, and hot yoga, which is her favorite.
“My favorite workout right now is hot yoga, but my favorite workout in general is my show, being onstage because I get to have fun while I’m sweating! Don’t even know how many calories I’m burning!” Pink gushes.
She loves hot yoga now but even she had a hard time with it at first.
“I had to sit down four times and really decide who I am and whether I wanted to stay,” she admits.
Pink is just as honest when it comes to how difficult it is to stay in shape. Though she would never succumb to pressure in the industry to look a certain way, she is no stranger to those feelings of “oh, I wish I was a bit thinner.”
“I’d love to be 10 pounds [4.53 kg] thinner, but it’s not in the cards for me. And I’m totally OK with that,” she says.
Her priorities right now are being healthy and in top shape so that she can be a good mother to her daughter and the artist her fans deserve. Pink puts on famously spectacular live shows, packed to the maximum with physically demanding routines.
Still, she would not describe herself as fearless. In fact, she goes through the “trouble” of listing all the things she’s afraid of, which only makes her all that much more lovable.
“I’m afraid of spiders. I am afraid of sharks. I’m afraid of the world running out of cheesecake, especially Cheesecake Factory. And then I would also have to be afraid of the world running out of key limes because key lime cheesecake is the best kind of cheesecake there is,” she says.
