She shared some highlights on Instagram this week. In one photo, she is seen sunbathing in a swimsuit. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kelsea Ballerini stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

Ballerini opened up about her fitness routine to Women’s Health. She says that she is getting back into ballet. “I'm just trying to see what my body remembers and then relearn the art of it, because it's so beautiful. It's the little micro muscles in your ankles and in your inner thighs, and the (idea) that there's a string pulling you directly up to the ceiling while your toes are pushing down into the ground.”
2. She’s Adjusting How She Views Working Out

In her Women’s Health interview, Ballerini talked about her approach to fitness. She says that while touring with the Jonas Brothers, she began to over-exercise. Ballerini says that she is trying to change this approach, and is not working out unless she feels like it’s best for her. “As someone that's really struggled with body image my whole life, I really have to be checked in to, 'Am I doing this for the right reasons?’ I felt like by the end of that tour, I was starting to detach from the correct reasons for working out.”
3. She Washes Her Face

Ballerini shared some of her skincare secrets with WhoWhatWear, including how she washes her face. “Well, I think the first thing is that in the last few years, I’ve switched from just using makeup wipes to actually washing my face [laughs]. I mean, I’m finally acting like I’m in my late 20s now. It’s about time! But yeah, my morning routine is to wash with Skin Pharm’s Gentle Soothing Cleanser ($40), and then I use hyaluronic acid, and then I use Skin Pharm’s Glow Factor Vitamin C Serum ($150), their Eye Sculpt ($75)—which is an eye cream—and then the SPF. It’s a whole thing!”
4. She Walks
Ballerini tells WhoWhatWear that she likes to walk to stay in shape. “Right now, my workout routine is really just walking outside and getting fresh air and vitamin D from the sun, hanging out with my dog. … That’s what feels like a healthy place for me. When my body tells me it’s time to get back into the gym or do weight training or SoulCycle or all those things I’ve been doing over the last few years, then I’ll start going back in that direction.”
5. She Wears Sunscreen
Ballerini shared her favorite sunscreen in her WhoWhatWear interview. “There’s a place in Nashville called Skin Pharm, and my friend Maegan founded it. They have stores all over now, but the OG is in Nashville, and she has completely changed my skin. I use all of her stuff, and she has a 100% Mineral Tinted SPF ($60) that’s been a huge game changer for my skin.”
