Kesha in Bikini Is “SO Grateful”
Kesha shares excitement about the success of her new album (Period.) in her bikini. In a new social media post, the singer shares an image from the album cover. “I am full of so much gratitude. Thank you for supporting me. As an independent artist, I’m really floored by the amount of love and support yall are giving me. SO grateful 🥹THANK U!!!!!!!” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach health and wellness? Here are her top diet and fitness habits.
She Exercises
Kesha trained daily to get in shape for her tour a few years ago. “When she is in town, she stays consistent — mainly three times a week, sometimes four. Sessions are one hour long, but she is also great about working out on her own,” her trainer, Kit Rich told Shape.
She Strength Trains
Kesha strength trains. “I incorporate squats with weights, plyometrics, and lunges. I get creative by using a lot of variations,” Rich said. “Kesha loves a challenge! I switch it up all the time. Today, we did a 24 minute Tabata-inspired routine that only focused on arms using 10-pound weights, an eight-pound ball and a resistance band. So she did a total of six exercises for four minutes each (20 seconds on, 10 seconds off).” He adds: “The lunges, squats, and plyo not only target her glutes, hamstrings, and quads, but help boost her heart rate and metabolism.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and build lean muscle mass, and increase calorie burn. Strength training may also help you:
- Develop strong bones
- Manage your weight
- Enhance your quality of life
- Manage chronic conditions
- Sharpen your thinking skills
She Does Pilates
Kesha sends the second half of her workout doing pilates, “mainly focused on her core,” said Rich. “With Kesha, I’ve noticed such an improvement in strength. With Pilates, she has improved quickly. The moves are very intricate and specific, and she really loves it. She requests it every time she comes,” he continued. “Then I do moves on the Pilates machines such as the reformer or Cadillac to target her booty.” He adds: “The Pilates moves help with specificity to target and shape the backside.” Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body’s inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.
She Conquered an Eating Disorder
Kesha told Refinery29 that ditching the dollar sign from her name had to do with battling her eating disorder. “It [losing the $] happened after I went to rehab for my eating disorder. I let go of my facade about being a girl who didn’t care. My facade was to be strong, and I realized it was total bullshit. I took out the $ because I realized that was part of the facade. It was a journey and I’m happy — that was me in that part of my life,” she said.
She Believes in a Higher Power
Kesha refuses to let the bullies get to her and relies on her higher power. “Criticism online used to tear me up. Then I realized you can’t make people you don’t know your higher power,” she told Refinery29. “The internet shouldn’t be a place that makes us feel unsafe.”
She Goes to Therapy and Meditates
Kesha goes to therapy and meditates. “I do have a therapist, and I do chanting and meditation,” Kesha told Nylon. “Some days I forget to, so I’m not like some perfect person about it, but I just notice when I get really stressed out, and I try to just make time to be a person. And honestly, I just think it’s really important to surround yourself with people who love you for you. I have a couple amazing friends; I could probably count them all on one hand.”
