Healthy Hollywood: Wellness Wednesday – Olympic Champ Dara Torres’ Secret To Winning!

At 43, Dara Torres is still in top-notch condition. The 12-time Olympic medalist’s body is in amazing shape and she even plans to compete in the London Olympics 2012.

To maintain her rock-hard physique and competitive edge, Torres reveals to Healthy Hollywood she trains about 5-6 hours a day both in the pool and out. But, what’s her secret to a winning mind and body?

Dara Torres On Her Olympic Silver Lining

“Is there a silver lining to the silver medal?” Access Hollywood’s Shaun Robinson asked Dara Torres, following the two silver medals she won at her finals on Sunday.

“That’s a good analogy,” Dara replied. “The silver lining is that there’s nothing that I could have changed. My coach said I swam the perfect race and I broke the American record. I did my best time by a couple tenths of a second, which is a lot in a 50, so I have to be happy with a silver medal.”

Mother… Olympian… Role model – Dara is all of these things, and more.
