No pain, no gain! Bebe Rexha is getting her sweat on with her trainer, and isn’t happy about it. In a few new Instagram Stories the singer grimaces in pain during her “third round of wall sits” and planks. “Oh my god I hate this so much. You know how much I hate you right now?” she says to her trainer in the midst of the wall sits. How does the singer approach health and fitness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Walking on the Treadmill
In a recent social media post, Bebe sings one of her new songs during a sweat session on the treadmill. “A little morning cardio to our new song ‘Deep In Your Love’ by @alok and Me xoxoxo,” she captioned the Instagram clip. Why is walking on the treadmill a great workout? Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
2. Healthy Eating

Bebe feels better when she eats healthier. "When I have a bad week of eating, I feel so nasty — like when I eat tons of chips or croissants and whatever," she told People. She also enjoys cooking. “I absolutely love hosting dinner parties for my friends,” she added to Us. “I enjoy cooking Italian dishes. Penne alla vodka is my [specialty]!” Another one of her got-to dishes? “I love baking banana bread.”
3. Hydration
Bebe drinks a lot of water. "When I eat healthier and I drink more water and then I do even a little exercising or just try to live a little bit more actively, I feel so much better: I feel so much healthier, I feel so much sexier, and it's for myself. So I feel like that's a really important thing for me, to stay active and eat well."
3. Boxing

Bebe loves boxing and “started training a lot during the pandemic,” she told Us. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.
4. Hiking
Hikes are “really good” for Bebe’s mental health and keeps her “really focused,” she added. It also helps build stronger muscles and bones, improves your sense of balance, improves your heart health, and decreases the risk of certain respiratory problems, says National Parks Service.
5. Mixing Up Workouts

“I work out with my trainer Jeanette [Jenkins]; we change it up,” Bebe told Health. “One day we’ll do yoga; one day we’ll do Pilates. We can run one day or box, which is my favorite. When I go to different places, I’ll try to run or go to the gym—or I’ll take cycling classes or boxing classes wherever I am. And I deal with my anxiety by working out. I can get out my aggression or anything I’m feeling I just want to get rid of. I also see my therapist. It’s very helpful to talk to somebody.”
