In a recent Instagram the mother-of-two explains that she doesn’t show off her body for attention, but is simply proud of her transformation. “Because when I look at this photo, I see strength. If I’m honest, I lost a little too much weight after my divorce, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the number I saw. But that’s an unhealthy way to look at it. It should never be about the number. It should be about how you feel,” she wrote. “I have been actively becoming strong again for me. I look at this pic now and I’m proud of myself for the hard work and commitment to loving myself. This body made two beautiful humans. I’m proud of my body. And it’s not just because I have new boobs, though yes they are two perks :) and since my breast augmentation I have felt more empowered about my decision. I’m proud that I have made choices for me. And I want to encourage you to do what makes you happy too… move the way you want to move… show off what you are proud of… feel your strength. And be proud of YOU, no matter what shape or size you are.”

Jana often shares her at-home workouts via her Instagram stories, which consist of a lot of cardio. However, she also works out with Nashville based personal trainer-to-the-stars Erin Oprea and even uses her Pretty Muscles app workouts. “I work out with Erin two times a week,” she explained in an Instagram story. The duo do “a ton of squats, sumo squats, lunges.”

Jana is also a huge fan of running, after Oprea suggested she partake in the calorie-blasting cardio workout. “I hated running and now I love it,” she confessed. “It’s helped me lean out.”

4. Moderation Is Key

“I personally think everything in moderation,” Jana has said about her approach to diet. “I had a chocolate chip cookie last night. I will eat another one tonight. I don’t think you should deprive yourself of anything. I think, eat when you are hungry. But all-around diet is how I do it.”

5. She Works Out for the Mental Health Benefits As Well

In an Instagram story earlier this year, Jana explained that she works out even when she doesn’t feel like it because it ultimately makes her feel better. “Still not feeling 100 percent,” she explained. “But I'm still going to run it out, sweat it out." She previously explained to Us Weekly that exercise helps her keep sane. “Working out for me is my sanity…Even just going for a walk, that is a place where I come back and I'm like, 'I feel good, I feel balanced. Working out is 100% how I stay level."

Jana Kramer, the singer, podcaster, and actress, is excited about the summer season. And her newest Instagram post proves it. In it, she posed outside in her pool.

Recently, I’ve really enjoyed running again.” Kramer also posted this set of photos of herself hiking on Instagram. "Being active and engaging in regular aerobic exercise is important for overall heart health and wellness. Typically, 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity five days a week is recommended for most healthy adults. Running is a simple, low-cost exercise, and you should be commended for starting a new exercise regimen," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Loves Kale

Kramer is a big fan of enjoying kale. When The New Potato asked her what her favorite smoothies and salads were, Kramer answered,“My perfect smoothie would consist of kale, spinach, cucumber, parsley, lots of ginger and lemon. I love all salads, but my favorite would be a Kale Caesar.” "Kale’s pungent, slightly bitter, peppery taste stands on its own very well — steamed, sauteed or baked into yummy kale chips. If you find kale’s taste a bit strong, look for blends of kale with other greens or try milder baby kale. Don’t forget to remove the tough middle part so you don’t get a bitter taste in your mouth after chewing on it," says the Cleveland Clinic.

3. She Does Not Feel Pressure to Be Perfect

Kramer doesn’t feel pressure to be perfect in life. When The New Potato asked her what advice she’d give to other moms, she answered, “It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to mess up. It’s okay to open a bottle of wine. Being a mom is the greatest job in the world, and sometimes it’s okay to not be perfect.”

4. She Works Out To Feel Better

For Kramer, working out isn’t just a way to stay in shape, it’s a way to feel better about herself. She tells Us Weekly, “Working out for me is my sanity. Even just going for a walk, that is a place where I come back and I'm like, 'I feel good, I feel balanced.’ Working out is 100% how I stay level."

5. She Worked Out While Pregnant

Kramer’s trainer, Erin Opera, tells Us Weekly that the singer worked out while she was pregnant. “She had a lot of discipline during her pregnancy. She really stayed on track. We worked out consistently and not every workout was hard and things weren't always intense, but we worked out consistently 'til the day before the baby was born and so her bounce-back was quick."

Jana Kramer is soaking up her final hours in paradise. The country singer and actress, currently vacationing at the Garza Blanca Cancun with her boyfriend and children, showed off her fantastic figure in a black swimsuit on her final day of vacation. "Our first official spring break. Grateful for the time and blessed to be able to have these adventures with them," she captioned some photos.
