Katy Perry's Secrets To Staying In Shape Despite Hating Workouts
Katy Perry is an extremely successful singer. The pop star recently debuted her new album, 143. Oh, and this spring, she's headed to space with a historic all-female crew aboard a Blue Origin New Shepard rocket.
The "Teenage Dream" singer has an impressive figure, despite not being the biggest fan of exercise. That said, she makes sure to incorporate healthy habits into her regular routine to stay in top shape. She shared some of her fitness and wellness secrets, so let's dive in.
She Does Yoga
Although the singer-songwriter may not be a fan of traditional workouts, she enjoys yoga—namely, CorePower Yoga classes.
Katy revealed to Women's Health, "I sweated the most I've ever sweat. We were all texting afterwards and I was like, 'My mood is unusually happy right now.'"

She Knows How To Put On an Incredible Aerial Show
Katy is known for her incredible performances which require plenty of skill and strength.
She told Women's Health, "I have so many marks to hit, and so many things that I have to make feel effortless and easy and natural, but they're actually very technical. I'm hanging on wires, I'm masquerading as a Cirque de Soleil performer many of the times."
She Stays Hydrated
The "I Kissed a Girl" singer makes sure to consume a healthy diet, which includes drinking plenty of water. In fact, she pours herself some H2O first thing in the morning.
"That is the best way to start, is just to drink water," Katy said. "I know it's such a cliché, but I think a lot of us go straight to the coffee without just drinking a glass of water."
She Eats Dinner Earlier
Katy also told Women's Health that she started eating dinner earlier, between 6 to 8.
"I've started eating earlier, which everybody swears by, but that's only because my daughter eats earlier, which is great," she added. "I used to go to dinner at eight o'clock and anyone that tries to make [a] reservation at eight o'clock, I'm like, 'I'm out,' it's too much."

She Limits Alcohol
The singer limits alcohol, especially when she has a show coming up. In fact, she told Women's Health, "Sometimes when I'm prepping for a tour or album release, I'll take three or six months where I'm not drinking at all."
The pop star even has her own line of non-alcoholic beverages called De Soi.

She Believes In Balance
When it comes to Katy's overall lifestyle, she's a firm believer in balance.
"I am a zero to 100 type of girl," she said. "I lean into the luxury and the pleasure. But then I have to recuperate and take time, pull back, re-energize by feeding myself good things and taking care of myself in certain ways so that I can go back out into the world and ham it up."
She Loves Apple Cider Vinegar
Another wellness habit of Katy's? She loves apple cider vinegar and it's boosted her immunity.
"I was drinking strange green juices and apple cider vinegar my whole childhood," the singer told SELF (via Glamour). "My mom made sure that whatever was put into my body was good for my body. I really am glad for that, even though it was disgusting."
