Are Madonna's Arms Too Masculine?

Nicole, recent reports have quoted fellow celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson as saying her former client Madonna is looking too masculine because of overdeveloped arm muscles. What do YOU have to say about this?

As a Hollywood trainer I used to get a lot of requests to make my clients' body parts look like those of celebs' -- and many women requested arms like Madonna. I don't get many of those requests anymore.

Madonna's arms and body looked best when she was working with the late Pilates master Mr. Kim Lee. Unfortunately Kim Lee is no longer with us, but Madonna worked with Kim Lee for years and he sculpted her body. Not a lot of people knew about Kim Lee but he did the work and made her have a beautiful, less-muscular, lean look.

The majority of female clients that I work with want toned arms but not too muscular. I don't receive many requests for "Madonna's arms" any more. Has Madonna gone too far?

I always say do what makes you happy. I think its important to have the look that makes you feel best, whether it be muscular, slightly buff or just toned and lean. For me it's always in how you feel. Many women who want this look don't realize it's a result of diet. Madonna clearly has low body fat and follows a very strict regime.
