Gwen Stefani Workout Program – Staying Fit On Tour

By: Suzanne Zilkowsky | August 10, 2009

With Gwen back on tour and surviving a busy tour schedule, she needs to have a workout  program that trains her full body and also burns more calories in less time. Fortunately, we were able to find out her training secrets by tracking down her personal trainer Gunnar Peterson who is a well known Beverly Hills-based trainer.

While the mother-of-two has started a nationwide tour with her band No Doubt, she shows off her sculpted post-baby figure to concert goers and has famously said to Elle magazine, “I’m not into Yoga or Pilates… they don’t work for me. I’m more like a man: I like going to the gym and lifting weights”

Gwen Stefani’s Workout Program

• Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a 5- to 10-pound dumbbell in each hand, elbows bent 90 degrees, with palms facing forward. Keeping chest up, squat down.
• As you lift back up through glutes, twist body to the left, allowing feet to pivot so that right heel lifts off the floor. At the same time, press dumbbells overhead.
• Return to start. Switch sides and repeat.
• Do 16 reps, alternating sides. Do 3 sets.

For cardiovascular exercise, Gwen runs when she’s not in the gym and this is the key because it means she’s toned, but she also gets to keep her feminine shape.

What does Gwen eat on Tour?

Along with at least 30 bottles of assorted water (Fiji, Vitamin Water, Fruit Water), TMZ reported that she also has a rather long list of organic vegetables, fruits and other healthy items on her tour rider — the list of “artist demands” for their backstage dressing room.

2- 3 Packs Silk “Very Vanilla” Soy Milk Individual Serving Sides.
1- Hot Tea set up to include, Tea Kettle, Organic Honey, Spoons, Fresh Lemons, 1 Box Twinnings English Breakfast Tea – Decaffeinated, 1 Box Organic Peppermint Tea, and 1 Box Organic Chamomile Tea…
1- Organic selection of whole vegetables to include: 3 cucumbers, 1 bunch beets, 1 bunch organic carrots, 1 bag pre-washed spinach, 1 bunch flat leaf Italian parsley, 1 bunch celery (all must be organic).
