This women looks better at 41 than I do at 24. She’s as close as we get to having a real life super hero! Dara Torres is a true Beauty Maven – she looks great, she’s strong as all get out and she’s an inspiration to millions.
Here’s a sneak peak at how Dara maintains her Olympian body:
What’s your workout routine like now?
I do a lot of core work, and I work out on a Swiss balance ball. I train with a coach from the Florida Panthers hockey team, and my body has completely changed. It’s a very fluid type of training, which is great, since swimming is a very fluid motion. In the weight room we concentrate on equipment that works a lot of different muscles at once. As for swimming, I’m now in the pool 5 days a week from 8 to 10 a.m. And I’m in the gym for an hour and a half, 4 days a week. Two days upper body, two days lower

She is being way too modest here. She works out hardcore. Her workouts are as challenging mentally as they are physically. Plus she has an amazing pain threshold.
Did you know she had a child the same day she worked out and swam? How crazy is that? I just wrote all about it in a blogpost with some videos and other training secrets to her success.

Torres is absolutely the most remarkable athlete in the world. What’s her secret? At the U.S. Olympic Trials Torres revealed her fountain of youth! It was a story that has gone unreported. Now you can see it for yourself!
