Lorde in Bikini “Had a Week Off”

Lorde is taking a break in her bikini. In a new social media post, the Man of the Year singer shows off her amazing body in a red and blue bathing suit while taking some much-needed downtime. “Had a week off. I’m a living creature again, warm, wet and fertile 𓆏 𓀡  𓁑 𓂉 𓂺𓅯 ! Just had to scrape everything off, stop wearing clothes and let nature rock my shit. Trying to stay human, even when it tastes bitter. That’s the mission, to stay human, taste it all, sing about what we’ve tasted. Getting verrrrry excited to be doing that together irl. David in the arena ….. mythic I fear. Love you,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does the 28-year-old approach health and wellness? Here are her top diet and fitness tips.

Sweat when you can. The singer’s trainer Allison Kimmel explained that Lorde doesn’t have a set workout schedule. “Lorde’s concert tour was a total whirlwind. We didn’t always have the perfect schedule for training. If we had 30 minutes between things to squeeze in a workout or a stretch, we made it work,” Kimmel told Women’s Health. “Other times, we had over an hour and could extend her warm-up or add some extra cardio sets.”

Lorde recommends mixing up your routine and combining exercise methods. Her workout starts with a 15-minute jog or other cardio followed by an “uptempo yoga-inspired” warm-up. “After that, we would get into our main sets which were comprised of traditional strength exercises, combined with barre and Pilates.”

Lorde also advocates getting fresh air. She told Vogue that after spending the last few years in Auckland, she had come into herself, and it had to do with spending time outdoors. “I was so serious and shy and tough. And I think that coming home, having a second record under the belt, I just felt like I could relax and play,” she said. “I don’t know—something started to happen, and it was all to do with spend­ing time outside.”

Lorde promotes self-love. “When I said I felt young for the first time—it meant feeling like I’m confident enough to put my butt out there. I wouldn’t have been able to do that as a teenager,” she explains. “When you’re really famous as a young person, feelings get magnified. At that time, people were discussing my body on Twitter, and the natural response was to shrink away from it. Now I have a sense of my worth and my power, and my body is—awesome, for one thing. But it’s also not as central as my brain is to the whole operation. I don’t think you could make me feel bad about myself now by saying something about my body, but that’s the difference between 16 and 24.”

Lorde is also an advocate of stretching. “I do lots of stretching, because when I perform my limbs fly all over the place,” she said. “The boys laugh at me lunging across the room,” Lorde told The Guardian about her pre-show ritual. “I’m a very physical performer. I fill space with the movement of my hands, my arms, my head, my stance, and that all helps communicate what I’m talking about.”
