As for cardio, Pasternak sticks with high-intensity shorter bursts. She recommends just using one side of the body when training with dumbbells, so you can get in a little rest without actually stopping. Pasternak likes to keep Keys moving, even when they're lifting weights. Celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak trains Keys with her patented 5-Factor Fitness approach. She sticks to shorter, more intense workouts to get up a good sweat without spending hours at the gym. So how does Alicia fit it all in? Well, I have no idea how she does it all, but at least her trainer can share how she fits in her regular workouts. But then I thought, This is my city, so why not?" she wrote.Īnd it isn't just Keys' brother who keeps her motivated - it's all for charity. "My first instinct was to say, "HELL NO!" LOL. She shared in a blog post that her brother asked her to join him in training for the marathon. After reluctantly signing up for the New York City Marathon, she eventually got into it.
She ditched the heels and makeup for running shoes and early morning training sessions. I feel shaken a bit more, but when I do it I feel sturdy."Īs if Keys didn't have enough going on, she added another role to her repertoire, marathoner. "And I can tell the difference in the choices that I'm making. "Some days I have 15 minutes, some days I have 40 minutes, some days I have five minutes where I have to take that time, because if I don't I literally feel off," she says. It has given her a new perspective on life, so she makes sure to make time for it no matter what. Keys knows that if she neglects her meditation practice, she won't feel like herself. So what is Alicia's mask in real life? One word: meditation. "Like, 'You don't do that, you don't secure your own mask? What's the matter with you?' And somehow I do that same thing." "That's my favorite thing they say on the plane," she shared.
Keys used the example of placing your mask on first when on an airplane. I'm becoming better at that," she shared. "I'm overly accommodating, like sickeningly so. Her casual, laid back style never suffered, but she shared with People that she noticed she was really neglecting herself after becoming a mother. With all those changes at once, it took Keys a little time to find her groove again. Not only did she set out on a new tour, but she married her husband, producer Swizz Beatz and gave birth to her first son Egypt. "Then because of the way I spoke or carried myself, people started calling me gay and hard and I wasn't gay, but I was hard and although I felt comfortable there, it made me uncomfortable that people were judging me and so slowly I hid that side of myself."Ģ010 was a big year for Keys. "I had the baggy/braided/tough NY tomboy thing mastered, that was who I was (or who I chose to be) and I felt good there," she wrote. When her first album debuted, she kept her tough exterior. I chose the baggy jeans and timbs, I chose the ponytail and hat, I chose no makeup, no bright color lipstick or pretty dresses. "I started to notice a drastic difference in how men would relate to me if I had on jeans, or if I had on a skirt, or if my hair was done pretty." Keys wanted to avoid the whistles and catcalls, so covered up to keep away the attention.
"I definitely started hiding when I got old enough to walk down my NY streets alone," she wrote in a blog post. She has shared that she hid behind her tough style. However, in her early days, her strong style might have been more armor than fashion statement. Alicia Keys has always had a strong style and point of view.
