The She Wolf whose Hips Don’t Lie, is now singing Waka Waka, the official song of World Cup 2010.

This singer who is none other than Shakira has a sensually curvaceous body. Just how did she keep such a good shape all the time?? Is she one of those celebrities who does not eat anything outside her weightloss program??

Here are her secrets:

1. Belly dancing

It is the best way to shake off that belly fat. If you are feeling adventurous in shaking that piece of fat off your belly, then join the local belly dancing club or you can simply follow Shakira’s dance in her videos.

2. Diet low in fat with a lot of protein which includes

BREAKFAST —>fruits and cereal

LUNCH —> non-fat yoghurt & cheese, salad and fruit juice

Dinner —> soup, fruit salad, wholegrain bread

3. Avoid unhealthy habits

Shakira does not drink alcoholic or caffeinated drinks.

No Smoking

No junk food such as chips, chocolates and candies

No sleeping late. Beauty sleep is important to her.

4. Yoga Booty Ballet

Yoga Booty Ballet is an exercise that shapes you towards a small butt. It is a combination of strength, balance, carb and fat-burning fun dance routines.

Have fun shaking your way to Shakira’s sexy body.
