Maren Morris is dancing to her own song in her workout gear. In a new social media post the singer flaunts her rock hard abs in a sports bra and leggings as she lip syncs to her hit song, The Middle. “If I can’t escape this song, neither can you,” she writes about the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. A Clean Diet

Maren eats clean. She makes sure to consume lots of protein and veggies. For breakfast she has three egg whites, spinach cooked in olive oil, and wheat toast, followed by a salad with protein for lunch. She usually waits until after a performance for dinner. “When I’m out there, I make it count. I know I’ll feel awful if I don’t eat right after burning all those calories in the show,” she dished to Women’s Health. Dinner might be another salad, like spinach with lemon vinaigrette and chicken.

2. HIIT Workouts

Maren does regular HIIT sessions with Nashville-based trainer Erin Oprea. Her workouts usually involve jump roping followed by bodyweight resistance strength training, doing exercises like front and side planks, pushups, squats, lunges, and a combo of the latter two. “Squat lunges are the worst,” she said “They’re so hard because that’s the area I need it most—my thighs and butt.” She then moves to the BOSU ball and does crunches and core work, followed by weight lifting with free weights. 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.

3. Tennis

Maren enjoys an active lifestyle. “She has been playing tennis,” Opera told E News. “I encourage clients to do their cardio outside of me. Sports are always the best way because when you're chasing a ball, you're not thinking about cardio.” According to ACE Fitness tennis blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.

4. Reading

Maren is an avid reader. Why should you read? 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.

5. Mental Health

Maren prioritizes her mental health. "I make myself socially available only when I know I can be fully present," she says. "Otherwise, I'm mentally recharging and spending time at home with myself or with my son,” she told PS. She added that she is enthusiastic about her "next chapter, whatever that may bring,” and hopes she will be "a lot lighter and more sure-footed in myself than I've ever been."

I know I’ll feel awful if I don’t eat right after burning all those calories in the show,” she told Women’s Health.

“Squat lunges are the worst,” she confessed. “They’re so hard because that’s the area I need it most—my thighs and butt.” She then moves to the BOSU ball and does crunches and core work, followed by weight lifting with free weights.

3. She Is Inspired By Lara Croft

Initially, Maren told her trainer she wanted dto “look like Tomb Raider.” She even keeps a photo of Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft on her phone. “This is what I have to look at every time I unlock it—if I’m at a bar, or eating a french fry. So that’s motivating,” she said.

Oprea told Us Weekly that Maren was comfortable with her body after welcoming her first baby and didn’t rush into losing the weight. "She doesn't have this, 'I want to bounce back kind of mentality,' which I freaking love, after having a baby," Oprea said. "She has this, 'I want to feel good, but I still want to love life.' And I think it's cool. My goal for her [is] slow and steady, enjoy the journey."

5. She Does Therapy

After welcoming her son, Maren did battle postpartum depression, which her husband, Ryan Hurd, helped diagnose. "I do check-ins all the time [with] therapy, which I've done for years, and my husband was a huge help diagnosing that too," she told People. "Sometimes it's just someone really close to you saying, 'Are you OK?' It's so simple, but it kind of snaps you out of whatever fog you're in that you think is normal, but isn't."

Read on to see 7 ways Maren Morris stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing-Suit Photos!


1. She Had A Wake-Up Call

In a 2019 interview with Women’s Health, Morris opened up about her past struggles with her body and her health.

Luckily, she then had a wake-up call that allowed her to change her lifestyle. “I didn’t look at my body like it was healthy — when you’re going through emotional turmoil, it’s hard to eat. That was a wake-up call: I need to address my mental and physical health.”

2. She Eats Healthy On Tour

It can be difficult to stay healthy when you have a busy schedule. Especially for a singer like Morris, who has to travel for tours and shows. However, Morris says that she makes sure to eat healthy when she’s on the road. “When I’m on there, I make it count,” she said to Women’s Health. “I know I’ll feel awful if I don’t eat right after burning all those calories in the show.”

Morris told Women’s Health that although she hates doing certain exercises, she sticks with them, since she knows they help her. The singer cited one particular exercise as an example. “Squat lunges are the worst,” Morris said. “They’re so hard because that’s the area I need it most — my thighs and” backside.

4. She Motivates Herself

2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards - Red CarpetRich Polk/Getty Images

Morris says to Women’s Health that her goal is to “look like Tomb Raider,” and she says that she has a trick to keep herself moving towards that goal. She says that she keeps a photo of actress Alicia Vikander as Tomb Raider on her phone, and looks at it whenever she has unhealthy cravings. “This is what I have to look at every time I unlock it — if I’m at a bar, or eating a French fry,” Morris said. “So that’s motivating.”

5. She’s Comfortable With Her Body

63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards – ArrivalsKevin Mazur/Getty Images

Morris’ trainer, Erin Oprea, tells Us Weekly that the singer is comfortable with her body, even after welcoming her first child in 2020, and isn’t in any rush to lose weight. “She doesn’t have this, ‘I want to bounce back kind of mentality,’ which I freaking love, after having a baby,” Oprea says. “She has this, ‘I want to feel good, but I still want to love life.’ And I think it’s cool. My goal for her [is] slow and steady, enjoy the journey.”

6. She Plays Fitness Games With Her Trainer

Oprea tells Us Weekly that she likes to make Morris’ workouts as fun as possible. She says that the two of them like to play fitness games during sessions. “My philosophy is to try and turn fitness into games. So we play lots of fitness games.”

7. She Started Therapy

After seeing Lady Gaga in A Star Is Born, Morris told Women’s Health that she decided to start going to therapy. She says that she saw a lot of similarities between her life and Lady Gaga’s character, and wanted to prevent some of the things that happened in the film. “I had to go to therapy. Not the substance abuse part, but there were things that happened to [Lady Gaga's] character that happened to me. That movie rocked us both. We were like, 'We can never end up like this. Cool?'"

Then you do eight jumps and hold low for 10 seconds.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page.

Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits.

Natasa Stankovic in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Wednesday Challenge"

Stankovic shares her go-to workout moves, from squats to lunges, cardio, Pilates, and strength training.

Entertainment India - March 2023

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
