Madonna Discloses Severe Knee Damage and Adjusted Fitness Routine

Madonna Discloses Severe Knee Damage and Adjusted Fitness RoutineNext

Madonna, 67, has revealed severe knee damage with no cartilage left, attributing it to years of dancing in high heels, running on pavement, and practicing Ashtanga yoga. She has adjusted her fitness routine, avoiding high-impact activities like trampolining and dance cardio, and now focuses on Peloton biking, Versa Climber, and circuit training. The injury has affected her career, leading to postponed shows, including a 2019 Madame X performance in Brooklyn, which she publicly acknowledged as requiring rest.
