Lenny Kravitz, 62, has revealed the regimen he follows to maintain his 28-inch waist, which includes working out five to six days a week and delaying his first meal until the late afternoon. The rock star adheres to a predominantly vegan, low-carb diet and practices a form of fasting daily, though he states it is not intentional intermittent fasting but rather his natural inclination.
"It’s not because I’m trying to intermittent fast; it’s just the way I am," Kravitz explained in a recent interview. "I can’t get up and, like, eat."
His typical daily intake begins with an egg white omelet filled with vegetables, followed by a protein shake, and later a salad. Kravitz also mentioned that he gauges his fitness not by technological tracking but by how his clothing fits, particularly his leather pants. "I can gauge everything by how I’m in my pants. Like, if my pants are a little tight, I know I’m getting out of shape," he said.
Kravitz has been known to train in jeans or leather pants, a practice that allows him flexibility to work out anytime, anywhere. These are often the same garments he wears onstage, adding a practical element to his fitness routine.
His rigorous workouts are overseen by longtime trainer Dodd Romero, who has worked with Kravitz for three decades. Romero noted that Kravitz's physical condition has improved over the years, stating, "Lenny was in better shape at 50 than he was at 40 or even 30. Now, at 62, he’s in better shape than he was at 50."
Kravitz expressed his intention to continue this upward trend in his fitness as he ages. "You realize as you keep spending time on the planet that aging is not how you thought it would be," he reflected. "We’re going forward in time, but at the same time, we’re going back in time, because now I’m in better shape than I was 10 years ago, 20 years ago." He is confident that he will be in even better shape in ten years.
Kravitz attributes his disciplined work ethic to his grandfather, who instilled in him the importance of a strong foundation. "You must build on a strong foundation. If the foundation ain’t strong, the house is going to fall down. It all starts with the part you can’t see – the hard work, the patience, the discipline," he stated. He applies this philosophy to his fitness, viewing discipline as the foundation upon which his fitness – the "house" – is built. This involves fitting in workouts regardless of daily demands.
