R&B icon Mýa looks amazing at 46, and here’s why. She follows a rich plant-based diet, detoxes regularly and even works out in heels, yes, you read that right. During an interview with Women’s Health published June 1, Mýa revealed the step-by-step workout routine that helps keep her looking like a walking fountain of youth. And walking, and sometimes running on the treadmill in heels, is the icing on the cake of her regimen.

“I literally run, do dance routines, skipping, jumping,” she revealed, noting that she sometimes sings while performing the unique routine. The workout hack helps her prepare for her performances so she’s ready to hit the stage “and kick some butt,” she shared.

Before Mýa puts on her workout heels, the meat and potatoes of her routine begin with a good stretch and some jump-rope cardio to warm up. She then moves into boxing, keeping a consistent rhythm on the bag, a pattern she says has a lot in common with music. A 1, 2, 3 rhythm usually means a triple meter like 3/4 time (used for waltzes) with a strong pulse on one.

“And as a musician, it was like music to my ears to know that I can rely on music and rhythm and it became fun,” she said.
