Madonna looks great; she’s almost fifty and showing no signs of slowing down or aging.
But has she set the bar a little too high for the average woman? Can you seriously achieve her results in the real world?
Let’s look at the facts – Madonna’s estimate wealth is around $850 million….now, you can buy a lot of help with that sort of money.
Think about your day for a moment. If you’re a mother you’re up early making breakfast, preparing lunches, dressing children, dropping them off to school, heading off to work, coming home cooking dinner, getting kids ready and off to bed, catching up on house work…..there’s a lot going on…which doesn’t leave a lot of time for sculpting your body into a Madonna clone.
Madonna can and does get a lot of help, which leaves heaps of room in her busy schedule for workouts. You could bank on the fact that she would have chef to prepare her food, Nannies, Nutritionists and a personal trainer on call….she even brought a $12 million home because it was right next to the fitness centre she goes to.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not “Knocking Madonna” by any means, I am simply saying that it is unrealistic for the everyday person to expect to achieve a physique like hers.
Why do you Exercise?

Reading in a magazine today (WomensHealth) about what drives people to exercise. It’s an interesting topic, because it’s different for everybody. In this particular case study around 1000 people were quizzed and the results were quite diverse.
- 88% of women exercised to lose weight compared to 71% of men.
- 65% exercised because they were gym junkies addicted to fitness.
- 36% exercised to attract a partner. I must admit when I was younger I fell into this category…nothing like feeling good and looking good in a pair of jeans and tight t-shirt at the bar on a Friday night.
- 4% went to the gym to find a date compared to 17% who went to the gym to make new friends.
