Shakira on her fitness and passion: 'I was born to dance'

Hitmaker Shakira has revealed that her passion from dancing comes from the part of the world she was born and raised in. 

During a new interview with Women's Health magazine, the 'Hips Don't Lie' beauty confessed that dancing is in her blood because she's from Colombia: "I think that I've been dancing since the moment I was born. That's an exaggeration, of course, but I think it''s such a cultural thing too. In Colombia, people dance. It's what you do."

The songstress added that in order to keep in shape, she likes to mix up her fitness regime because she quickly gets bored of running on a treadmill or using gym equipment over and over again: "I try to eat healthy and I try to exercise. Not only going to the gym, because sometimes I do get tired of working out, the gym, the treadmill, the stuff that all women dread."

Shakira added: "I recently decided to just do sports, because they''re so much fun and they accomplish the same purpose, which is ultimately to keep you fit."
