Sheryl Crow in Shape

Sheryl Crow in ShapeContinued from Sheryl Crow: Diet and Workout.

Sporting sculpted arms and shoulders, Sheryl Crow is clearly in fantastic shape. But like most first-time moms, her routine has changed significantly since adopting Wyatt.

After she finished her radiation treatments and moved to her ranch, she’d been getting up early, meditating, then going on either a horseback ride, a long bike ride, or an hour-long run along the hilly roads near her home.
