Paula Abdul Shares Her Journey to Staying Fit and Healthy
Let me tell you, folks, Paula Abdul is having one of those moments in life where everything seems to be clicking. Between an upcoming tour and a Broadway production she’s producing, the legendary entertainer is keeping herself in top shape. How does she do it? Well, Paula, now 61, shared some insights backstage during her recent appearance as a guest judge on "Dancing With the Stars," and let me tell you, it’s a lesson we could all learn from.
“As you get older, things definitely get a little trickier,” Paula told Closer Weekly exclusively. “But I’ve learned to really tune in to what my body needs. If I’m hungry, I eat. It’s not about starving yourself; it’s about listening to your body and giving it what it needs.” That’s wisdom right there, folks. It’s not just about dieting—it’s about balance and understanding your own needs.
The Diet That Works for Paula Abdul
Paula’s approach to eating is refreshingly straightforward. She doesn’t deny herself anything, but she’s smart about it. “I try to focus on filling my meals with non-starchy vegetables, fruits, and soy products,” she explained. “But don’t get me wrong—I eat everything in moderation, even sugar.” Paula also mentioned that because of the injuries she’s accumulated from years of dancing, she’s adopted an alkaline diet. “It helps reduce swelling and inflammation in my joints, which is crucial for someone like me who’s been dancing for decades,” she said. It’s clear that Paula’s approach isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about long-term health and sustainability.

Preparing for the Upcoming Tour
Paula’s not one to take things for granted, and she’s already hitting the gym hard in preparation for her upcoming tour. “I’m trying to get into the best shape I can,” she revealed. “You never know what challenges might come up, so I want to be ready for anything.” And let’s not forget who she’ll be sharing the stage with—NKOTB, the iconic singing group that includes Donnie Wahlberg, known to many as Detective Danny Reagan on "Blue Bloods." “This tour is going to be such a blast,” Paula gushed. “It’s nostalgic, but it’s also exciting because it’s a chance to reconnect with fans and create new memories together.” With over 45 cities on the itinerary, this tour is shaping up to be a major event for music lovers everywhere.
Bringing Broadway to Life with 'How to Dance in Ohio'
But Paula’s not just stopping at music. She’s also thrilled about her latest project on Broadway: the musical "How to Dance in Ohio." The show began previews on November 15 and tells the heartwarming story of young adults on the autism spectrum preparing for their first formal dance. “This is something truly special,” Paula said. “For the first time in Broadway history, seven members of the lead cast are on the autism spectrum. It’s a groundbreaking moment, and the show is so beautiful and moving.” If you’re looking for a reason to head to the theater, this is it. Paula’s passion for this project is evident, and it’s clear that she’s proud to be part of something so meaningful.
