Does Prince workout?

What does he do to stay in shape?
(Besides dancing & sex of course).

Was he in good shape during Lovesexy?

To me he's always had the same body shape. But then again I'm not looking for that sort of thing.

But, any pictures of that Lovesexy era?

He was in top physical shape from Purple Rain to Lovesexy, and there was this very cheap and cheesy German biography written by Roland Mischke in the mid 80s were he mentions that Prince was very happy with the gym equipment he was using during his stay in Germany in 1988.

I think his shaped has changed a couple of times over the decades, from chubby muscular in the late 70s to very buff and still lean during Purple Rain to very athletic and lean and powerful until 1988 and then extremely skinny during his rebellious Gold Experience years between 1994-1995 . He also has dumbbells, barbells and a bench at Paisley Park.

I recall in the Gett Off video tape (the long 30 min. version) I saw NPG-members lifting weight in a workout room. Does Paisley Park have a fitness centre?

So, in your honest opinions, when does he look best: When he's buff or super-skinny? Not what you think is healthier, but as a rock star, which looks better?

Personally, I think the superskinny look is best! I always think girls like that look better than all the muscles.

He has weights and work out bench in his office at Paisley Park, I reckon he plays basketball when he can too. No'one can look as good as him and not work out at 49 years old!

I like how Prince looks now. I like him thin and sexy and sophositicated and all that. He's very well put together and looks HOTTT for a man his age. Prince doesn't have a clock on him, the man doesn't age. He looks as good now as he did in 1982. The only thing's that's changed is his hairstyle and clothes. (Hell he even kept the same shoes!) biggrin

I'm glad that he has kept in shape because most men by the time they get to 49 are all wrinkly and have the big beer guts and dress like they're alreay 102 years old and Prince just hasn't done that. I adore him for staying who he is and looking the way he does!
I love a Man who:
Wears More Make Up Than Me.
Wears Four Inch Stilleto Boots.
Changes His Name To An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Who Changes His Name Back From An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Oh And Most Importantly, Who Is Sexy Little Drop Of Butterscotch

He was wearing a muscle shirt in his acoustic set of the Musicology tour and his arms looked sculpted. I remember thinking 'Damn, I didn't realize I bought two tickets to the gun show too'. His arms looked really good.

I like Prince on the thinner side with a little bit of muscle. I think he looks the healthiest that way. But truthfully, his body type doesn't matter. Just don't lose those sexy eyes, Prince! love

he is prety muscular an wirey .which is his nateral shape . so i am guessing his working out has been about toning an fitness .obviously not bulking up much . if he eat the right foods did the right bulking up exerecizes . heavy lifts ect . he would be able to bulk quite a bit . with his frame/body type is easy to stay thin . but as my mam would say 'theres room for alot more meet on those bones . so he aint reaching an 8th of his potential . . but he aint a bodybuilder or a lumber jack .so he aint gonna an dont need to

his dancing . is extremely atheletic an requires very high cardiovascular fitness an very strong muscle endurence .. maybe not so much how he dances nowadays .. but u look back at alot oif his displays from the past an it is pure atletic ability ..so am very sure he was working out alot in them days . just to maintain the ability to do that kinda dancing . nowadays he cant do that to the same level.. but he could definetley gain alot of muscle an stregnth by weight lifting an less speed related things . like they say 'old dad cant beat his kids at football . but he can still pick em up an throw em around like they are football' lol

i read somewhere about a theory that for a rock star u need to have skinny body, narrow hips, big head, nice teeth and big hair.

not proportional measureremts at all.


i think prince does some type of stretching yoga pilates thing and a bit of cardio. it seems to me he cares more about of what he eats than about exercise.
