Dolly Parton not an exercise fan

Dolly Parton isn't an exercise fan

Dolly Parton isn’t “big” on exercise.

The 78-year-old singer does a “little bit of yoga” and some stretching, but avoids running in case she gets injured as a result of her famous cleavage jiggling around.

She told Closer magazine: “I do a little bit of yoga. I don’t do much running, I’m not trying to give myself black eyes!

“So I just try to do stretches and little floor exercises, but I’m not big on that.”

Despite her glamorous appearance, the ‘Jolene’ hitmaker is happy to dress down when she isn’t working.

She laughed: “I can wear a tracksuit and look like hell when I’m at home.

“Everybody’s got their slouchy, comfy clothes.”

Dolly enjoys experimenting with make-up and isn’t afraid to break convention.

She said: “People always tell us blondes not to wear blue eye make-up but I think it looks great.”

The ‘9 to 5’ singer joked her wardrobe is more “eyesore than icon” but she doesn’t care.

She said: “I say I’m more of an eyesore than an icon in some of the stuff I wear.

“I just really do believe that for myself and for everybody else, you should wear what you’re comfortable in, what fits your personality, what you feel good in.”
