New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/17/2014 -- Marina Abramovic, arguably the most well known performance artist of the modern era, turned her attention this week to another one of her passions: physical health. On the social fitness app BodyStream, Abramovic sat with her trainer Mark Jenkins (who also trains performers like Beyonce' and and LL Cool J) to discuss a range of health related subjects.

“[my]... fitness is absolutely crucial” Abramovic says in her multi-part series on BodyStream as she refers to her long and often grueling performance schedule. A schedule which can sometimes include installations of 3 months. The 67 year old artist is recognized for her boundary pushing exhibits which often include audience participation or well known subjects like Jay-Z and Lady Gaga.

Over the coming days, Abramovic and Jenkins will release more clips to complete a series that will give viewers insight into Abramovic's training, health philosophy and future plans.
