So I'm seeing Katy Perry tonight. Try not to be too jealous. I've been eagerly looking forward to this day since I bought the tickets exactly six months and three days ago. And while I play Firework on repeat and annoy everyone in my near vicinity, I thought I'd honour of the fabulous pop princess herself by recapping of some health and fitness advice she dished out to Women's Health on her last tour... 'cause any girl that looks that good in Lycra must have some pearlers, right?
Walk it off. "I got really bad acne this past summer because I was so stressed out. I was on tour and had 14 smelly guys in my face all the time! When I feel like my serotonin is falling, or I'm thinking too much about one thing and letting it affect me, I'll get a massage or take a hike. I just put on a Madonna song and go."
Be nice to your body. "On holiday, I eat whatever I feel like. But on this tour the catering will be a lot more grilled chicken—nothing fried. Everything is going to be organic, and I'm going to have soy milk. No chips in sight—if they're in front of you, you eat them. Drinking a lot of water and staying hydrated is important too. I don't understand how some people live off of diet soda. I have a couple of friends who I have never seen with a bottle of water in their hands. I don't know how they get recharged."
Squeeze in exercise. "My concerts are an hour long, so I usually jump rope for half an hour beforehand to get warmed up. It's intense. Thankfully, I have a fast metabolism—though I may not be saying that 10 years from now."
Play it by ear. "I like to do spontaneous stuff with my friends. The other day we went bowling and played air hockey. My girlfriends and I are always looking for activities we can introduce each other to. Right now I'm setting up this thing called 'Dining in the Dark,' where blind people serve you [dinner] in a pitch-black room. [Ed's note: Trust us—this is an actual trend.] I love stuff like that. For me, a good dinner party is always better than a night out drinking."
