Pop icon Madonna, 50, was recently spotted in London having dinner with her hot Brazilian boyfriend Jesus Luz, 22, and sporting a very veiny new look (see picture below).
Always known for her strict workout regime, the mother of four appeared to be taking her workout routine a bit too far.
"Oftentimes when your body fat is really, really, low, as Madonna's is, you're going to see veins pop," explained Leslie Bonci, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center to ABC News.
"Her body fat is minimal, and she does a lot of strength training workouts that are going to build her muscles to look more visible."
As previously reported, Madonna has the same trainer as Gwyneth Paltrow and reportedly follows a strict two-hour workout six days a week. Not to mention, Madge is currently on her "Sticky and Sweet" tour which requires hours of dance rehearsal.
Bonci adds, "When muscles look that way, it's often the result of pretty restrictive eating and dehydration. With bodybuilders, the goal is to be sinewy, to make everything stand out. How do you get to that goal? You restrict your fluid intake. But then you might collapse on stage."
