Dua Lipa in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says "4 DAYS UNTIL TOUR!!!!!"

Dua Lipa released her third album, Illusion, last month. She is also about to start her tour for the album. Lipa shared her preparation for the tour on her Instagram. In them, she danced and posed in workout gear. Lipa captioned the post, “4 DAYS UNTIL TOUR!!!!!" How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Dua Lipa stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Doesn't Wear Too Much Makeup

Lipa has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared some of her secrets with Allure. Lipa says that she tries to not wear makeup when she’s not working. “Off stage, I try not to not wear makeup as much as I can. I need to give my skin a break. I guess it was always important for me to take my makeup off before bed, but now, it’s like to a whole ‘nother level.”

2. She Takes Her Makeup Off

Lipa talked about the importance of taking her makeup off with Vogue. “I have to take my make-up off. It’s a very rare occasion where I just fall asleep with it on. When I was younger I never used to care. I was the kind of person that would just wash my face with soap and call it a day. But when I turned 18, I started really taking care of my skin and being really gentle. Now I use a lot of serums: I have one that I put on before I go to bed, and a different one for the morning that I use after a skin cleanser to take off any make-up. I’ll also use an oil, sometimes a homemade one, because my skin gets really dry the next morning if I don’t.”

3. She Keeps Her Skin Healthy On The Road

Lipa does a lot of traveling, which can harm her skin. She shared how she keeps her skin healthy with Allure. “I’m traveling so much, and my skin gets so tired, so anything I can take like eye cream, face cream, face mist, oils—just anything to keep my skin moisturized because flying dries it out. Traveling is the worst for skin, and it shows instantly. Once you’re working non-stop, you can instantly see it.”

4. She Gets Facials

Lipa tells Vogue that she loves getting facials done, and will even do them herself. “I’ve found some good facialists in different places, that people have recommended. I don’t have that much time to go so it’ll be whenever I get the chance, usually once every couple of months. In London, there’s a place called Pfeffer Sal which I love. There they’re lovely and it’s just been great. I also know to drink electrolytes to make sure you’re hydrated. When I’m traveling, I’ll always take a few face-masks on flights. That’s a good tip I’ve learnt – a game changer.”

5. She’s Consistent With Workouts

Lipa tells Viva Magazine that she makes sure to stay consistent with fitness. “I try and work out as much as I can. It's such a busy lifestyle I feel like I need to try and do something for myself every day. I love doing something that's really fast and quick, like a 15-minute HIIT session which I can do before I start my day. If I've got a really early call time I don't want to be waking up hours before I need to, to go and do a workout. So a high-intensity workout, shower, breakfast, and I'm on my way.”

Dua Lipa is having a great year. She’s starring in Argyle and recently released her new single, “Training Season.” Lipa also released merchandise for her new single. She advertised it on Instagram this week. In them, Lipa is seen dancing and modeling the clothing. She captioned the post, “Training season merch drop!!! Hope you're as obsessed as I am.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Dua Lipa stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

Lipa tells Vogue that she loves to have facials done, both professionally and by herself. “I’ve found some good facialists in different places, that people have recommended. I don’t have that much time to go so it’ll be whenever I get the chance, usually once every couple of months. In London, there’s a place called Pfeffer Sal which I love.

4. She Boxes

Lipa is a big fan of boxing to stay in shape. "I love boxing in my spare time," she says to BeautyCrew. "I like doing it for fitness [and] I like doing it just to kinda clear my mind. I really enjoy it. I like that it's definitely a full body workout. Since starting boxing I've probably been in the best shape ever. It's also a great stress reliever."

5. She Switches Up Her Workouts

For Lipa, fitness is all about variety. She tells Marie Claire, "Whatever it is, I try to change it up every day to keep things interesting. When you're on a tour bus, every day and every place is different, so you never know what you're going to find. That's always one way to keep it interesting." UHHospitals.org states that variety is important when it comes to fitness. “By creating variation and changing exercises in your routine, you can create a new stimulus, which creates more progress over time. And if you rotate exercises or activity every so often, your injury risk will decrease. Examples include adding bench pressing every Monday or continuously adding mileage when running or biking on a weekly basis.”

Dua Lipa has established herself, very quickly, as one of the biggest pop stars today. After the release of her second album, Future Nostalgia, Lipa has won Grammys, starred in campaigns for Versace and Adidas, and has even appeared in commercials for Truly. Lipa is also known for her incredible figure, which she is not afraid to show off on her Instagram page. Just today she posted a photo of herself in a leather bikini top, looking fierce.

1. She Does 15-Minute Intervals Daily

In an interview with Vogue, Lipa revealed that she does 15-minute intervals, which include mountain climbers, jumping jacks, and burpees, daily. She says, “It’s high-intensity interval training, but it’s so quick, it’s over before it’s even started!” Lipa says that she experiments with exercises as well. “I’m still trying to see what my boundaries are and how far I can push myself and when I need to rest,” she says.

2. She Loves Boxing

Another of Lipa’s favorite exercises is boxing, and she tries to fit it in when she has time. Lipa told BeautyCrew.com, "I love boxing in my spare time. I like doing it for fitness [and] I like doing it just to kinda clear my mind. I really enjoy it. I like that it's definitely a full body workout. Since starting boxing I've probably been in the best shape ever. It's also a great stress reliever."

3. She Experiments With Workouts When She’s On The Road

Even with touring, traveling, and a busy schedule, Lipa always tries to find time to exercise. Lipa says to Marie Claire that when she travels, she likes to change up her workouts and try new things. “When you're on a tour bus, every day and every place is different, so you never know what you're going to find. That's always one way to keep it interesting."

4. She Treats Herself

Lipa says that while she tries to eat healthy, she doesn’t deprive herself of a treat once in a while. "I try and stay as healthy as possible whenever I can," Lipa told The Urban List."I'm never one to stop myself having treats, I do love naughty treats. But I try and limit it to days when I'm not as busy, because if I do eat a doughnut it usually puts me in a food coma!"

5. She Focuses Her Core

Lipa is known for her incredible abs, and she told The Urban List that she does a lot of core workouts to maintain them. "I think different variations of crunches like bicycle crunches are good. Leg raises are also great unless my back hurts. Planks are good although almost certainly my least favourite!"

6. She Dances During Her Live Performances

Dua Lipa used to get made fun of on social media for her dancing.“There were so many things, especially when you start out, like a video of me dancing and they’re like, ‘Ah well, she has no stage presence’—but they’d never been to one of my shows, they’d never seen me perform.They would take one small snippet and run with it and it would become a whole thing,” she told Attitude. However, when performing songs from her album Future Nostalgia, fans noticed that Lipa’s dancing had improved greatly, and that her choreography had gotten a lot more difficult. Lipa said those nasty comments made her want to work harder and improve her dancing. "It was a tough time. But I’m also so grateful for the experience because I became so much stronger. I became so much more confident after that. Now I know what I’m good at; I know how to be good at what I do; [and] I know how much work it takes to be good at what I do.”

7. She Made A Workout Video To Her Song “Physical”

Dua Lipa’s second single from her album Future Nostalgia is called “Physical.” And she decided to make a workout video for that song, channelling Olivia Newton-John and inspired by ‘80s workout classes. According to a study, high-tempo songs like “Physical” can make working out a lot easier. “We found that listening to high-tempo music while exercising resulted in the highest heart rate and lowest perceived exertion compared with not listening to music," says Professor Luca P. Ardigò of the University of Verona. “This means that the exercise seemed like less effort, but it was more beneficial in terms of enhancing physical fitness.”

Dua Lipa, whose name means "love" in Albanian, is loving life. She just shared a series of photos of her having fun with friends, including a selfie in a swimsuit. "Weeeeeeekend!!! 🍃🐸," she captioned it. (She's working too, in the middle of her hit Future Nostalgia tour.) How does she stay so fit?

1. She Overcomes Challenges One Step at a Time

When it comes to workouts, she takes things little by little. Think of training for a marathon, and starting with running a 5k. “We overcame it by tackling one hill at a time,” her onetime trainer PMAC said, referring to Dua jogging up Primrose Hill in north London. “So instead of saying we’re running up five (which is typical with all of my clients), we’d do one at a time, and she managed it.”

2. Yoga Is A Daily Routine

She enjoys high intensity interval training to stay in shape in addition to yoga for strength training and muscle building. She even stated that yoga is a daily ritual for her, spending each day practicing how to quiet her mind and channel her muscles to build strength. Try a child's pose. "In a child's pose, you kneel and sit on your knees. Lean forward, bringing your arms in front of you with your palms down, and keeping your buttocks on your heels. Rest your forehead on the floor. Bring your arms next to your legs with palms facing up. Inhale and exhale for at least eight breaths," says St. Clair Health.

3. She Knows The Importance of Rest

Napping and getting enough sleep is so important. She listens to her body and lets herself rest and recover when necessary. “For a busy individual like Dua, I suggested naps to help her body recover,” PMAC said. "If you train too much, your body won’t work, so rest is a non-negotiable."

4. She Warms Up Her Body

Dua has had the importance of warming up engrained in her since working with PMAC. “We’d spend 10 minutes before every session to make sure her joints and muscles were ready,” PMAC explains. Warm ups will also improve your mobility which, in turn, could help you achieve your goals sooner.

5. She Enjoys HIIT Workouts

Dua loves the efficiency of HIIT sessions. “It’s so quick, it’s over before it’s even started!” she says. Dua and PMAC like to include mountain climbers, burpees, jumping jacks and more into her routine. "Most endurance workouts, such as walking, running, or stair-climbing—are performed at a moderate intensity, or an exertion level of 5-6 on a scale of 0-10. High-intensity intervals are done at an exertion level of 7 or higher, and are typically sustained for 30 seconds to 3 minutes, although they can be as short as 8-10 seconds or as long as 5 minutes; the higher the intensity, the shorter the speed interval. Recovery intervals are equal to or longer than the speed intervals," says ACE Fitness.

Dua Lipa is spreading her wings with her fashion choices! The chart-topping singer made her latest fashion on Instagram, flaunting her flat abs in a butterfly crop top. How does Dua keep herself fit and healthy? It all boils down to a moderate but consistent approach to diet and fitness.

Dua goes hard during her workouts. However, she keeps them short. "It's high-intensity interval training, but it's so quick, it's over before it's even started," she told Vogue about her HIIT workouts lasting about 15 minutes. Jumping jacks, mountain climbers, and burpees are a few of her go-to moves.

2. She Works Out Early in the Day

Dua hits the gym bright and early at 8:30 am. "This is normally the time I give myself to work out," she told Refinery29. "Whether it's on Zoom, doing a workout with my friend Ella in L.A. who leads a kickass workout class called Sculpt With Ella, or with my best friend Bunny who comes over to train me on days when I'm feeling super lazy and need someone to get me motivated, getting physical really starts my day off right.”

3. She Does a Ton of Ab Work

If you want flat abs like Dua, you have to do the work. She told Urban List that she focuses on her midsection during workouts. "I think different variations of crunches like bicycle crunches are good. Leg raises are also great unless my back hurts. Planks are good although almost certainly my least favourite!" she said.

4. She Also Does Yoga, Pilates, and Boxing

Dua told Refinery29 that some of her favorite workouts include yoga, Pilates, or strength training. "Whatever it is, I try to change it up every day to keep things interesting," she added to Urban List. "I like that it's definitely a full body workout. Since starting boxing, I've probably been in the best shape ever. It's also a great stress reliever."

5. She Works Out with Others

Dua doesn’t like working out alone. "I would always be that person who made a new year's resolution, get a gym membership and then show up twice in the first week of January and then never go again," she told Urban List. "Now I love workout classes or working with a trainer. I feel like I'm pretty useless on my own, so I prefer being around other people working out with me."
