Who’s Anna Kaiser?
Anna Kaiser has trained Shakira for 13 years and has been with the pop star even in difficult times. Also, Shakira counts on her trainer for everything. Her trainer provided emotional support during her recent divorce from her soccer husband Gerard Pique. Also, her trainer was with her when she moved from Barcelona to Miami with her sons Milan (9) and Sasha (7). It won’t be an exaggeration to say that all the focus and dedication Shakira shows toward fitness is due to the advice, guidance, and company of Anna Kaiser.
Exercising six days a week
One thing Anna Kaiser tells everyone is Shakira works out six days a week. Also, that she’s a different workout every day. Since Kaiser wants to make sure that Shakira prepares for every day instead of focusing on specific events, she has a different workout every day. Kaiser changes Shakira’s workout according to the physical demands of the workday ahead. Her workout session starts with 35-55 minutes of strength training followed by 20-40 minutes of low-impact cardio. But an hour long strength session is cut short to 20 minutes when Shakira has longer days of physical dance rehearsal.
Anna Kaiser plans her workout according to her work schedule. The workout sessions become short when she is busy. But she does more intense workouts when she has time. Shakira switches from sports conditioning to dance intervals to HIIT to circuit classes during intense workouts. Also, Kaiser doesn’t allow Shakira to use her phone until her workout is complete. Shakira also respects the orders of her trainer. Their relationship is so strong that Shakira even calls Kaiser to different locations for workout sessions. Shakira never misses her workouts. Also, Anna Kaiser makes sure Shakira remains stage-ready all the time.
Eating small, fresh, healthy meals throughout the day
According to Anna Kaiser, balance is really important for Shakira. Kaiser has a super delicious diet plan for the superstar. She even works out with Shakira’s chef to prepare nutrient diet plans for the pop star. Shakira needs a load of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients for intense workouts and stage performances.
Her breakfast consists of eggs or avocado with olive oil, sea salt, tomato, and a smoothie. Sometimes she takes plant protein or green powder. At lunch, she has fish, fresh vegetables, and a salad. In the afternoon, Shakira is served a soup like eggplant soup or carrot ginger soup decorated with cucumbers, lemon, and salt. At dinner, she also has fish and vegetables. However, the fish served for lunch remains cold and warm for dinner.
If Shakira needs a change, she is served pork chops which are her favorites. Also, Shakira gets pure dark chocolate with little to no sugar in it. Anna Kaiser makes sure Shakira gets delicious and nutritious meals all the time.
