How to Get a Body Like Beyonce

In 2010, Beyonce Knowles won six Grammy Awards, setting a Grammy record.Not only does she have amazing musical talent but she also looks fabulous, has curves in the right places, and is nicely toned. For some, she even has "the perfect body". If her shape and appearance inspire you, here are some steps that will help you get in shape like Beyonce.

Steps:

1.Eat healthy and don't starve yourself. Beyonce enjoys snacks to keep her energy levels up, foods such as fruit, oatcakes with cottage cheese, or yogurt-covered almonds.It's important not to skip meals; Beyonce aims for three meals with two snacks in between each day.Eat plenty of vegetables and fruit, whole grains, and two servings of fish each week. 

2.Form an exercise plan. Beyonce has to be able to handle the strenuous pace of dancing, singing, and touring. She works out five days a week and does 100 squats, 100 step-ups, and 100 walking lunges a day.Beyonce does circuit training, and runs two-and-a-half miles each day.If you enjoy running, this can be a great form of exercise. While you might find her schedule way too punishing unless you're doing a music tour too, you can borrow some of her ideas. For example, try choosing exercise that you can follow at least two days of the week; three is better. Have a day of rest between exercise days.You could try swimming, running, dancing, lifting weights, or doing aerobics, whatever exercise fits in with your working out strengths and is something that you enjoy. 

3.Find a source of motivation to keep you going. Beyonce has a goal and so too should you. She keeps a poster of an Oscar on the wall of her gym to inspire her to keep working at it.What's your goal? Perhaps it is to keep fit, or to stay healthy for all your life, or to get ahead in a career or hobby aspiration. Whatever your reason, ask yourself how will you represent this goal visually so that it can serve as a source of motivation for you. A poster, messages, or photos of your goal can all be good ways to inspire you. Be sure to put these in places where you'll be reminded often of the purpose of getting a great body.

4.Be consistent. Beyonce works constantly to achieve her goals, including dancing all day long in high heels in order to get ready for a music tour.Set yourself regular exercise schedules that you can stick to, no matter what else is happening in your life.

5.Be proud of your body. Beyonce has said that she "wears skimpy outfits" because she's "proud of her body".She's not afraid to show off what she's got, being proud to celebrate her body shape the way that it is. She accepts that she is not naturally skinny and she detests fad diets after trying them and finding they don't work.Take a leaf from her book and love your body the way it is and don't harm your health with fad dieting. 

6.Wear what suits you. Beyonce is renowned for wearing beautifully tailored clothes that make the most of her good features. If you can sew or get your clothes tailored to your own body shape, you'll find that you look your absolute best; clothes that fit properly flatter your body. Clothing off the rack is trying to fit a range of sizes that may or may not suit your own shape and this can be made worse by the broad-ranging belief that you should fit into a single size. The reality is that a good wardrobe may well be filled with the sizes that fit in each style of clothing you try on. That may mean that you have larger tops and smaller bottoms, or larger jacket and smaller blouse sizes. Don't make the mistake of preferring a smaller size in the hope it'll look better on you; something that looks too small will ironically make you appear larger! Get the sizing right and a lot of your quest to appear "bootylicious" is sorted. 

7.Love the person you are. Don't seek to transform into Beyonce or be a dead ringer for her. You're a unique wonder in your own right and while she offers a great inspirational role model, your ideal image of her must be tempered by the realities of what's achievable with the body and lifestyle you've got. Love what you have and make the very most of it; use Beyonce's inspiration to motivate you to exercise regularly and to eat well.

*Keep to your exercise timetable by writing down your plan on the calendar or separate paper.

*Exercise with one or more friends to provide social motivation and fun. You're much more likely to stick *with it if you're enjoying the exercise experience as a whole.

*Running up a hill and walking down it is a good way to keep your butt and thighs well toned without losing *their shape.
