Dua Lipa's 5 Ways She Got This Amazing Beach Body

Dua Lipa is getting some sun – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the singer shows off her amazing body in a bikini. “Always on the road and at home,” she captioned the Instagram Stories image. The star has been attending the Sunny Hill festival in the UK. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Reading

Dua is a reader. She regularly shares photos of her book club picks. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

2. Yoga

Dua is a yogi. She "always, always" travels with her yoga mat, she revealed in a 73 Questions interview with Vogue. "What's the most difficult yoga pose that you've mastered?" the interviewer Joe Sabia asked her. Crow pose into a headstand, she responded, which involves balancing your knees on your elbows as you crouch forward on your hands, eventually transforming into a headstand. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

5. HIIT Style Workouts

Dua prefers short but intense bursts of exercise. She told Vogue that she does 15-minute intervals of mountain climbers, jumping jacks, and burpees. "It's high-intensity interval training, but it's so quick, it's over before it's even started!" she said. "I'm still trying to see what my boundaries are and how far I can push myself and when I need to rest.” There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.

4. Healthy Diet

Dua maintains a healthy diet. "I try and stay as healthy as possible whenever I can," she dished to 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!" She loves maple oat latte, her mother’s cooking, and a vodka martini filthy.

5. Self-Care and Sleep

Dua prioritizes self-care. “Make sure to take time for yourself to stay grounded in the midst of all this craziness,” she told Vogue. She also prioritizes getting enough sleep. What are the health benefits of sleep? According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z’s is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.

She also cooks her own food. "I love cooking and being surrounded by my favorite people, though I also love ordering from the fantastic restaurants in my area,” Dua explained in an essay for Refinery29 during the pandemic. "With all the running around I do for work, it's nice to come home, slow down, and connect with the food that nourishes my body and life."

2. She Is a Fan of the Workout Buddy System

Dua likes to infuse a little fun into her workouts with the help of her friends.. "My friends and I will wake up and set [up] a FaceTime date and do a workout together," she told Vogue.

3. She Does Short But Intense Exercise Sessions

Dua’s workouts are quick but intense. She told Vogue that she does 15-minute intervals of mountain climbers, jumping jacks, and burpees. "It's high-intensity interval training, but it's so quick, it's over before it's even started!" she said. "I'm still trying to see what my boundaries are and how far I can push myself and when I need to rest.” And, she doesn’t skip a workout even while on tour. "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,” she told Marie Claire about how she gets creative when she is on the road.

4. She Boxes

1. She Removes Her Makeup

Lipa has amazing skin. She revealed some of her tips to Vogue. She says that she always remembers to take makeup off. “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.”

2. She Gets Facials

Lipa likes to get treatments done on her face. Specifically, she likes to have facials done. “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.”

3. She Makes Time To Workout

Lipa has a pretty busy schedule. But she still prioritizes working out. She tells ELLE that she makes time for quick workouts each morning. “I exercise five days a week in the morning. When I’m touring, I use Class Pass, or it ends up being a 15-minute workout in my hotel room.”

Lipa went through her day in an interview with Refinery29. She says that one thing she does to stay in shape is go on walks with her dogs. “I got really lucky that he and I have the same sleep schedule,” she says. “If I need to catch a couple extra hours of sleep he’s right there with me, but on days when I’m up bright and early, he’s ready for his morning walk. Our walks are the perfect way to get my mind right for the day ahead. I usually grab a bottle of Evian — gotta stay hydrated — and his leash and we head out for a stroll around the neighborhood. While walking, I make a mental list of my intentions for the day.”

5. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Lipa tells Marie Claire that she likes to do a variety of different workouts to stay in shape. “When I have a tiny bit more time on my side I love mixing up lots of different training, finding different workouts in whatever city I’m in, whether it’s yoga, Pilates, boxing or spinning. 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.”

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.”
