Pop diva Madonna may have her hands full with three kids and her world tours but nothing can keep her away from her gruelling exercise regimen.

She spends six mornings a week completing a mix of workouts and cardiovascular exercises. 

"I mix it up - Pilates, gyrotonics, yoga. I do it six days a week, with Sundays off. Actually, Sunday is a day of horse-riding. There’s no such thing as a day off," she was quoted by the Daily Mail, as saying.

Despite her regime, she still has "fat days" when she worries about her weight.

"I run longer on the treadmill and don’t eat as much the next day, so then it evens out, but I’m sure it’s all in my head. I’ve had a few wine-tasting sessions and a brief education," she says. I’m particularly fond of red wine - I like Bordeaux," she added. 

The star, mother to Lourdes, 10, Rocco, six, and David, 17 months, says when work and home life clash it upsets her.

"I get stressed if there are too many projects going on at the same time and I feel overwhelmed if I’m trying to meet too many deadlines and spend time with my family," she says. 

However, she adds, "I’m blessed and grateful that I have the family I have. I am happy."

Madonna has just designed a collection for high street chain H & M, which goes on sale on 22 March.
