Cher says being a "tomboy" has helped her to stay in shape.
The 72-year-old singer has revealed she’s had to work out more as she’s aged, but she’s claimed her tomboy-like mentality has helped her to remain in tip-top shape over the years.
She explained to People: "You have to work out. But, thank God, I always was a tomboy, so I don’t mind doing it.
"I like cake and stuff too, but I have to limit myself, because I have to fit into costumes. So I watch what I’m eating, and I don’t like it.
"When I was 40 or 50, I never had to watch it, but I have to now."
Che admitted that having a really capable gym instructor ensures she’s never allowed to take any shortcuts.
She said: "I have a really good teacher, and we do a little bit of everything."
Meanwhile, the American icon previously admitted she is "raggedy" when she’s at home.
Cher insisted treating clothes like "disposable" items is a "young girl’s game", and not something she’s in favour of doing.
She said: "I go around at home like I’m just raggedy. Clean, but slobby. I’ve got shirts – my favourite shirt is 30 years old.
"As a matter of fact, people have pictures chronicling this shirt for a million years, and I don’t care, and I don’t care how many times I wear it.
"One of the things I really hate and just p***es me off is: Because everything is disposable … Once I wear this, I’ll never be able to wear it again. But that’s dumb. I don’t want to play that; that’s a young girl’s game."
