Gwyneth Paltrow Covers Self Magazine in Jean Shorts
Posted on April 16, 2011
Gwyneth Paltrow covers the May, 2011 issue of Self magazine. In the interview, Gwyneth discusses her workouts with Tracy Anderson, her diet and her go-to snacks. Gwyneth is wearing jean shorts, a bikini top and a button-up shirt on the cover.
On Her 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!"
On Keeping Up Her Workouts: "I've found what works for me. I know if I put in an hour and a half, five days a week, I'm good. If I'm on vacation and, like, 'F--- it, I'm not working out,' I know what to do when I get back. A lot of women think, 'Oh, my God, I could never get there,' but I don't think that's true. It's simply relative to how much you put into it."
On Her Diet: "I say I always eat right, but last night, I had fried clams, pasta with duck sausage and two glasses of red wine. When I want to lose, I eat less pasta, bread and potatoes. Before last year's Iron Man 2 premiere, I did green juices and salads for three days."
On Her Workout 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."
On Her Go-to Snack on Busy Days: "Raw almonds with raisins, or coconut water, or I'll make a juice with kale, lemon juice, water, Vitamix and a little agave. I try to avoid barbecue potato chips. They're my weakness."
