Madonna-Selfies-GettyImages-605910312<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\nAs you might expect, some people weren't as impressed. One person wrote, "Aren't we a little old for this?" While Madonna didn't respond to the comment, we can guess what she might say to people who have similar thoughts.<\/p>\n
Madonna has been a long-time proponent of celebrating the body that she's worked hard for. As far back as a 2015 interview with the Daily News<\/a><\/em>, Madonna explained why she shows off her body: "This is what my ass looks like—show me what your ass looks like when you're 56. I take care of myself. I'm in good shape. I can show my ass when I'm 56, or 66—or 76. Who's to say when I can show my ass? It's sexism. It's ageism. And it's kind of discrimination."<\/p>\n RELATED: Madonna Says She Tested Positive for Coronavirus Antibodies So Plans to Breathe 'COVID-19 Air'<\/strong><\/p>\n And here's how hard Madonna works to maintain her toned body. In a "perfect week," Madonna will work out six days, her personal trainer, Craig Smith, recently told People<\/a><\/em>. With a focus on bodyweight training, Madonna also "utilizes dance to tone the entire body, plus a mix of asana yoga, Bar Method, and a lot of hybrid Pilates programs to give that nice, sleek look to her arms."<\/p>\n The constant mix of workouts is how her body never hits a plateau. "It's always in a guesswork state. Her body is always changing in a positive way," explained Smith, who also pointed out the "recovery time is just as important as the workout time."<\/p>\n So yes, she works hard and is showing off the results—as one commenter put it, it's classic "Madonna being Madonna."<\/p>\n
