In Glamour Magazine’s article, Borges shares his secrets to the most coveted body in the world. Read more to find out his secrets.
Boost your energy:
To increase her energy, the queen boxes and uses battle ropes. Bargo states “You run out of gas fast; by pushing through (fatigue) and develop a ton of endurance.” An equipment-free option? Explosive push-ups. Get in a push-up position, bend your elbows, and lower your chest towards the floor. Press back up, pushing through your hands at the top to ‘pop’ an inch above the ground. Do 4 sets of 8 to 10 reps.

Building endurance to run faster:
“Sprints are ideal for building stamina and explosiveness, which B needs to move across the stage,” says Borges, who has her alternate a one-minute sprint with two minutes of brisk walking for 30 minutes in total.

Healthy eating:
Beyoncé’s diet during the tour followed Marco’s 22-Day Revolution Cookbook. Commenting on the book, Beyoncé mentions to USA today,”I thought I would feel deprived… that I would get headaches and be irritable. I was wrong about all that… What I discovered was increased energy, better sleep, weight loss, improved digestion… that I could still love food but this time it would love me back.” The cookbook includes recipes for vegan chia puddings, plant-based protein smoothies, avocado zucchini noodles and more.
