MADONNA has reportedly said she will tone down her exercise regime after photos of her "sinewy" arms were published.
The Material Girl asked for the photos to be digitally altered but has now asked her fitness instructor to help her make her arms less muscular.
A source told Grazia magazine: "It's Madonna's birthday next week and she's showing no signs of taking it easy. There aren't many women her age who have a body like that but even Madonna may have to admit this time she might have to tone it down."
The insider continued: "She asked her trainer Tracy Anderson what she could do to stop her arms looking so sinewy. Tracy told her to do more stretching exercises to make them look leaner and Madonna has decided to follow her advice."
