Usher tells how he maintains his health. During a recent interview with WSJ. Magazine, the 45-year-old performer of the hit «Yeah!» explained why he chooses to fast once a week.
«I fast, not for religious reasons, but it’s something my grandmother practiced», - he told the magazine on Monday, June 17. «I fast on Wednesdays. Usually I start around 11:00 pm the previous day, and then all day on Wednesday I just drink water».
The singer also mentioned that he drinks during his regular eating days.
«I drink this drink made of lemon, ginger, water, and cayenne pepper. I drink it hot», - Usher said, describing the drinks he takes every week.
Although many remember the old saying that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, the artist «OMG» admitted that he does not eat it before working out.
«I don’t like to eat breakfast before I work out or do something physical», - he said, adding that he prefers «a walk, stretching, or yoga, sitting in the sun and raising the natural temperature of my body. Then I eat».
The singer «DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love» must maintain a strong physical form for his music career. Earlier this year, fans saw Usher tear up the stage at the Super Bowl, where he performed several hits.
As for the workouts he follows, Usher noted that his routine «starts with a walk or specific knee activations and backward walking that I do to really engage my quadriceps, knees, and glutes».
«Also, swimming is really good to warm me up, and biking», - he said, adding, «But as for lifting weights, I don’t do much of that».
Now, as he heads out on his summer tour Usher: Past, Present, Future, the musical artist will be performing songs from his latest album «Coming Home», - which he described as a journey of «romance and love».
«The whole album is designed to remind you of romance and love, and this journey we’re on requires a lot», - Usher told Entertainment Tonight in February. «There's a lot going on in the world, so we’re trying to get back to this beautiful place where we can just be okay with being in love with each other and, like, enjoy each other»
