Ouidad's fitness routine

Ouidad, a French-Moroccan singer, recently participated in a fitness session at a Parisian studio called "Carbonne, reformer & shape" with her friends. The session took place in late October and was captured by RMC Sport.

The fitness studio's look

The studio, located in the heart of Paris, has a blue Majorelle front, a collection of mirrors, a large floor mat, and rows of equipment. It initially appears to be a typical gym, but Ouidad humorously called it a "torture studio" after putting on her workout gear.

Ouidad's fitness philosophy

Ouidad emphasized the importance of sports in her life, explaining that she has always been active since childhood. She enjoys a variety of sports, including dance, tennis, gymnastics, and athletics. She plans her week around her fitness schedule, considering it a priority.

The benefits of sports

Ouidad described how physical activity affects both her body and mood positively. She noted that sports help her feel good inside and outside, build confidence, and be more lenient with herself. She also mentioned that she sees the results in the mirror, particularly her abs.

The workout session details

Before starting the session, a specialized coach outlined a detailed program. The workout included three blocks of five-minute exercises, repeated three times, totaling 45 minutes of continuous effort. The session targeted all body parts, from the calves to the arms, through the glutes, abs, and back.

Ouidad's playful side

During the session, Ouidad teased her friend Malika, joking that she was a "big cheat" for stopping when the coach wasn't looking. Malika defended herself, and Ouidad admitted to occasionally indulging in a big plate of pasta between balanced meals.

The physical and mental challenge

As the session progressed, Ouidad described the difficulty of the workout, mentioning hot flashes and thirst. She admitted she almost wanted to cry but pushed through, emphasizing the importance of not giving up. The group endured the session with determination and courage.

Post-workout reflections

After the session, Ouidad felt firm, toned, and strong. She highlighted the importance of the workout in building confidence and self-esteem. The session ended with breathing exercises and stretching, followed by positive feedback from the coach.

Ouidad's personal life

After the workout, Ouidad joined her friends at a nearby café. Her father, who gave her the name in honor of the Wydad Casablanca club, joined them on a bike. They discussed football, particularly the 2026 World Cup in Morocco and the dream of performing at a future World Cup in Casablanca.

Ouidad and Yassine Bounou

Ouidad spoke about her friendship with Yassine Bounou, the goalkeeper of the Moroccan national team. She described him as a brother-like figure, a humble and kind person who has become a global star. She expressed pride in his achievements and their shared connection from high school.
