Grimes details intense fitness regime alongside new Adidas Stella McCartney collection

16 July 2019, 10:26 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Grimes has shared the details of her fitness routine alongside news of her new Adidas collection for Stella McCartney.

The new Adidas collection is a "sustainable" line that focuses on environmentally friendly material, including recycled polyester and Econyl yarn.

Stella McCartney revealed Grimes as the face of the new line, writing, "Grimes is the perfect embodiment of the adidas by Stella McCartney core values. She is passionate and outspoken about protecting the planet, and a true trailblazer for pushing creative boundaries and inspiring women to unlock their potential in all aspects of their lives."

Grimes also confirmed the new collection, and shared an insight into her fitness regime, "My training is a 360 approach. I first maintain a healthy cellular routine where I maximize the function of my mitochondria with supplements such as NAD+, Acetyl L-Carnitine, Magnesium, etc. This helps promote ATP and it’s incredibly visceral. From that point I spend 2-4 hours in my deprivation tank, this allows me to “astro-glide” to other dimensions - past, present, and future. In the afternoons I do a 1-2 hour sword fighting session with my trainer, James Lew, we go over the fundamentals that work the obliques, core stabilizes, and triceps as well as a few tricks. To wind down from this I spend 30-45 minutes on an inclined hike at roughly 4-4.5 miles per hour, arguably the most efficient workout."

She adds, "I then spend 45 minutes stretching before heading into the studio where my mind and body are functioning at peak level, with a neuroplastic goal between 57.5 and 71.5 AphC’s (which is my preferred range for my blood type). I’ve outfitted my studio with the highest grade of red light. It is pretty much 1000 sqf IR Sauna. Hana then comes over and we do a screaming session for 20-25 minutes while I slow boil the honey tea that maximizes vocal proficiency. I have also eliminated all blue light from my vision through an experimental surgery that removes the top film of my eyeball and replaces it with an orange ultra-flex polymer that my friend and I made in the lab this past winter as a means to cure seasonal depression. I go to bed with a humidifier on."

Back in March Grimes announced her new record Miss_Anthropocene, which is also focused to climate change. Grimes wrote at the time, "Each song will be a different embodiment of human extinction as depicted through a Pop star Demonology."

The new Adidas by Stella McCartney autumn/winter 2019 collection is available to pre-order now. Grimes' Miss_Anthropocene album is yet to get a release date.
