Here’s the ABC story about Nicole Winhoffer, the trainer behind the Madonna workout:

Madonna Workouts From The Past

There are many Madonna workouts from the past. In the 90’s, Madonna used guru Danny Paradise to perform Ashtanga yoga. Later, she gained fame for her “six hour dance workouts” by working with Gwyneth Paltrow’s trainer Tracy Anderson. (See the Gwyneth Paltrow workout with Tracy Anderson.)

Madonna later decided to create her own gym and train with Josh Holland. After than, she decided to go barre and work with Sadie Lincoln of barre3. Finally, she decided to return to what she loves–dancing. With Nicole Winhoffer, Madonna performs varied dance routines on a daily basis.

Madonna Diet

According to her trainer, the 5’5″ singer has a very strict diet. Although it may sound like a cheat, Madonna’s diet secret is to bring nutritious gummy bears with her wherever she goes. Her trainer says:

Madonna really likes them. They’re all natural, infused with vitamin B12, which is essential for women. And, guarana for an [energy] boost.

Guarana is a Brazilian food that is similar to coffee. The brand Madonna and her trainer use is called “Energy Gummy Bears.” Although there is room for some variety, the Madonna diet consists mainly of:

1. Chicken
2. Vegetables
3. Kabbalah Water
4. Soups
5. Avocados
6. No processed sugar
7. “Think Thin” brand protein or other protein bars

Madonna’s trainer talks about Madonna’s diet:

She eats food for fuel. She is an athlete with a very demanding show. Everything she puts into her body has a nutritional value and it’s for energy.

When she doesn’t want to load up on a big meal, Madonna turns to light foods such as spinach. Madonna’s trainer, Nicole Winhoffer, is famous for her “Green Goddess” soup. Here’s her simple recipe for making it:

Spinach, lemon, water and hot sauce. Boil the spinach, add fresh lemon, water, puree and enjoy!
