When I was working with him in 1991, he played a lot of basketball. He was also a healthy eater - there were no soda machines at Paisley Park - only juice machines. Absolutely no drugs etc. Once we ate some leftover food his cook sent to us - chicken, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. That's all I know. The blessings and curses of being beautiful - a documentary

Apart from his vegetarianism, Prince seems to keep his exercise regime a secret | |

I don't think Prince became a vegetarian until the mid to late '90s. He probably enjoyed a good bucket of chicken now and then in '91. Whatya think Michael Bland used to keep under those big "bucket of chicken" hats that he used to wear? "I Was FINE Back in the Day!" | |

I doubt hes in a sgood shape as the Parade era, whens the last time he has shown his waist? I think the reason he was in such good shape in the eighties was from running around and dancing on stage every night. | |

I doubt he is, too. He's too thin now and with no meat he probably lacks his old muscle tone. I liked his old body. Eat meat, eat meat! At least chicken. Chickens like when we eat them. | |

He's a vegetarian. He's got lots of energy. Good habits. Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid. | |

He's a vegetarian. He's got lots of energy. Good habits. Agreed. I don't think his being a vegetarian (or vegan) is why he's scrawnier than he's ever been, though. I don't eat meat, but I work out and have a pretty decent build. Rather than eating a bucket of chicken or a slab of ribs, I think Prince needs to hit the weights as much as he probably did in the Parade era. I remember in the Rolling Stone article from '85, Prince's father mentioned that Prince worked out a lot. In the Notious magazine article from '99 (I think), it was noted that Prince is in great shape but does "little exercise." Pick up some barbells and slam back a few protein shakes, Prince!

Personally, I'd just say it's his genes, and his diet.
He doesn't pig out as far as I know, and he's small. | |

I can imagine him doing yoga If you will, so will I | |

Actually, the reason he was in such good shape in the 80s is becuase it was TWENTY YEARS AGO! Dude, the guy is almost 50. Let's cut him some slack. For his age, he is slamming. I think that we're so used to his talent and his look being heads and shoulders above everyone else, we don't like to be reminded that he is, in fact, human. It was easier for him to hide when he was younger, however. Come here, babe.. yeah... | |

I am a certified fitnes trainer. Prince probably keeps his caloric intake low and does moderate cardiovascular exercise. I dont see much evidence that he is into weight training. If so, its very minimal for toning purposes. Much of his frame seems to be genetic though. He does seem to age well. | |

Sorry gr79 - I agree, Prince is in incredible shape. I just had thoughts of P on some shopping/lifestle channel: "Cuban heels chafing your ankles? Button embossed bell-bottoms too tight around the midriff? All you Girls & Boys been tucking on the Cherry Moon? Try the 'Parade Diet' - sometimes we lose kilos in April". | |

To be his height - don't eat much as an infant and preferably move to an area where getting exposed to nuclear waste radiation is likely. To be of his skin colour - do not go out in day time. The rest is down to plastic surgery. | |

Well fanatics should remember that he is a human being which means he does age and his body will change. No one looks like they did 20 years ago. Prince just hasnt changed much and looks fabulous for a guy in his late forties. | |

the brotha's always been as skinny as a rail (the brotha got the metabolism of a string bean, i swear ), so there's that...also, he basically just keeps himself up. ain't no big secret there. | |

But there are plenty of skinny people who don't have the muscle definition that he does. I remember the first time I saw the scene in Purple Rain where he is in the basement with his bag of Doritos and he got up to check on the noise upstairs and I was like look at those muscles! Also in the Computer Blue performance He is so much more than just skinny. | |
