Hot mama Madonna’s nearly 50 but has the body of a 25-year-old. How does she do it?

Love her or loathe her, you have to admit that Madonna looks incredible. Set to turn 50 this year, the striking blonde could be a woman half her age.

Whether posing provocatively in a T-shirt with Justin Timberlake or slumped against the ropes kitted out in boxing gear, she looks ready for action.

Her arms are toned and sinewy, her stomach harder than concrete and it is impossible to spot anything that looks as if it might ever wobble. As the first single off her new album, Hard Candy, comes out this week, people are asking: how does she do it?

Apparently, a petite and pretty blonde is regularly spotted walking silently behind the Material Mum in London, New York and Los Angeles. She is fitness revolutionary Tracy Anderson and she is quickly becoming the secret slimming weapon of the A-list.

I guess busy mamas like you and I are desperate to lose jiggly arms, flabby belly and thunder thighs. Unfortunately, there is no easy way out. It takes a bit time. What about losing 5 pounds in 2 weeks or dropping from a size 12 to a size 8 in 12 weeks? Sound attainable, right?
