Adam Levine: 'Lifting weights made me look like a monster'

Adam Levine has said that he is a big fan of yoga.

The Maroon 5 frontman revealed that he was unhappy with the results of traditional workout programmes like weightlifting and instead prefers the more "natural" look that yoga encourages.

"Weights made my neck thick, and I would be like, 'I'm turning into a monster!'" Levine explained in a new interview with Details.

"Yoga takes what you have and moulds and sculpts it, which is a much more natural way to look and feel. I don't like how people bulls**t about how yoga is not about vanity."

The 'Moves Like Jagger' singer also claimed that he practises yoga before going on stage as he feels more "relaxed" after doing so.

"Playing a show before thousands of people is a highly unnatural state. When I get on the mat and do an hour of yoga before the show, I come out physically relaxed," he said.

Maroon 5 will perform alongside Kanye West during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show broadcast later this month.
