Mariah Carey Workout Has Surprising Back-Story -- Potent Quotables

"Swimming is my favorite form of exercise, which is surprising since I almost drowned in the ocean when I was 6. It was scary but it didn't traumatize me or deter me from going in again. My mother just put me back in the water and told me it would be fine. And it was." -- Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey tells Shape magazine that her go-to workout is a surprising choice considering her near-death experience while swimming as a kid. The diva credits 45-minute water aerobics classes four to five times per week for helping her shed a whopping 70 pounds since giving birth to twins last year.
