Lenny Kravitz's Ripped 50s Body Is Thanks To An Intense Diet And Workout Routine

November 6th, 2023

Not only is Lenny Kravitz one of the music industry's hottest talents, he is also supremely fit. While he is blessed with good genes, and no one would ever tell he is pushing 60, he works hard to achieve his ripped physique with an intense workout and commitment to eating the right foods.

How Does Lenny Kravitz Keep His Abs?
Lenny Kravitz is committed to working out, and he prefers to train outdoors. He can be found running trails on his property. "That's been my cardio," he told Men's Health in a 2020 interview. "And then I moved some hand weights over next to a coconut tree that basically comes out of the ground sideways, so that's now my bench, and I lift weights on this coconut tree. I'm doing a complete jungle workout."

He has been dedicated to working out with cardio and weightlifting since the '90s, Men's Health reports. Kravitz has also trained with personal trainer Dodd Romero in Miami. While Kravitz is not based in Florida, he does train with Romero via FaceTime.

How Lenny Kravitz Stays Fit And Healthy:

Lenny Kravitz follows a plant-based diet
Lenny Kravitz tries to eat raw vegetables and avoid sugars

"I'd rather be outside and in nature than being cooped up inside a gym," he said in an interview with Men's Health in 2020. That's not to say you'll never spot him in the gym, though, and in 2023, he was spotted inside Equinox in Manhattan. "He was really working out and… strength training," a source told Page Six. "He was very friendly and talked to everyone who said hello to him.

He declined photos, but he was very friendly and very nice."

Some of the exercises he is known to do include Dumbbell Curls, Dumbbell Bench Press, Bodyweight Squat, and Pullup-Position Knee Raise. He will work out up to six days a week – so he is seriously committed, and his ab photos on social media also prove he is very confident when it comes to showing off his muscles.

What Diet Does Lenny Kravitz Follow?
If you want to follow Lenny Kravitz's diet, be warned: it's very restrictive. He follows a plant-based lifestyle and was named PETA's most beautiful person in 2022. Kravitz also eats many of his vegetables raw, and according to GQ, he cuts out fruit sugars periodically. Not only this, but the rocker takes things one step further by growing his own food on his properties in Brazil and the Bahamas.

"A great blessing of living here in the Bahamas is I'm able to grow my own food. So I have a garden where most of this food comes from," he said. "As you can see, I'm vegan, primarily raw. I have done extensive raw diets where I eat raw for a year. I'm very careful about what I put in my body and how I take care of my body."

The musician shared a glimpse into his diet when he chatted with Men's Journal and revealed he loves good juice.

"As far as nutrition goes, I have a Champion juicer with me at all times. I'll hit the organic market or the farmer's market and pick up some spinach, kale, carrots, beets, garlic — it really promotes great health," he said.

You'll also find him drinking a blend of warm water and lemon to get his day started. "A lot of water and lemon in the morning," he told W magazine in a 2022 interview. "This morning, it was water with chia seeds soaked overnight, lemon, and aloe vera. That's the morning juice."

What Has Lenny Kravitz Said About His Body?
Age is but a number when it comes to Lenny Kravitz and his fitness goals. In a 2020 interview with Men's Health, he let the world know that he intends to remain in top physical shape. "My best shape is not behind me," he said. "It's in front of me right now. We keep moving that bar as we get older."

"To stay fit, I always carry a jump rope with me. And I run. I like to be outdoors doing things that you can do with your body—pull-ups, sit-ups, push-ups, squats," Kravitz told Men's Journal. "Gyms are cool, but I find them boring. I prefer to run outside in nature — it's far more inspiring."

When it comes to health, Kravitz can be considered a role model. This includes the natural products he uses on his skin, joining forces with oral healthcare brand Twice, and his inspirational approach to his lifestyle.

"It starts first with waking up in the morning and being grateful. Gratitude is such a big part of it. It really sets my spirit — when I sit in gratitude, and I thank god for all the blessings — the simple things: just waking up and having a new day and having new possibilities," he said in a 2022 interview with W magazine.

As for what his favorite activities include? "I do a lot of bike riding for cardio and jump roping, weights, and so forth," he shared. "Then as far as beauty routines, it's all very natural. I don't use a lot of products. I was in the Bahamas for the last two years — I am not there now, I finally got out, but I was there for the better part of the pandemic — and I really survived on clean, fresh water; coconut water, and aloe vera that I have in my yard."
