Discover the fitness secrets of legendary musicians over 50 who continue to defy age with their incredible bodies. From Cher's skincare tips to Sting's devotion to yoga, these rock icons share their wellness routines, proving that age is just a number. Madonna embraces the slow and mindful practice of yoga, while Bruce Springsteen emphasizes the power of diet in maintaining his shape. Join us as we explore how Paul McCartney's eye yoga and Stevie Nicks' healthy eating habits contribute to their lasting vitality. These 20 musicians show us that staying fit and healthy knows no boundaries, regardless of age.
1. Cher

Cher is known for seemingly being ageless. She shared some of her skincare tips in an interview with The Sunday Times. “I do have pretty good skin. It’s not as good as my mom’s but it’s pretty good. I take care of it and get a facial once in a while but I am not religious about any of it. I use Aveeno Ultra Calming Foaming Cleanser on my face because it’s for sensitive skin and I love it.”
2. Madonna

Madonna is a big fan of yoga, and explained why in an interview. “You have to take it really slowly,” she explained. “You can’t rush. You can’t skip to the next position. You find yourself in very humiliating situations, but you can’t judge yourself. You just have to breathe, and let go. It is a workout for your mind, your body and your soul.”
3. Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Spingsteen opened up about how he stays in shape in an interview. “I don’t do that much (exercise) right now. I lift a little weight to stay toned, I may get on the treadmill and I’ll walk, I don’t run anymore. The biggest thing is diet, diet, diet. I don’t eat too much and I don’t eat bad food, except once in a while when I have some fun for myself.”
4. Sting

Sting is a big fan of practicing yoga. He explained how he stays fit in an interview with Energy Times. ​​"I perform on stage in much the same way I did when I was in my 20s or teens, and I’m doing it just as efficiently. Two decades of yoga has given me two extra decades of this career. I wouldn’t be able to do it if I was out of shape.”
5. Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney opened up about some of his wellness secrets on an episode of the podcast, Table Manners. He says that he’s a fan of eye yoga. “I learned [it] off some yogi in India,” he said. “He explained that your eyes are muscles whereas your ears aren’t, so you can’t exercise your ears. But your eyes, you can.”
6. Stevie Nicks

In an interview with Vulture, Stevie Nicks opened up about how she eats healthy. Nicks says that she used the Weight Watchers plan. “That’s how I stay on my perfect diet—I can come out here in the middle of the night crazed, and there just isn’t anything, so there’s no reason to even bother to come out here, because I’ll just be eating one of my meals that is supposed to be for tomorrow, and I don’t really want that, because it’s exactly what I just had today.”
7. Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton is all about doing what she loves. She tells The Wall Street Journal that she does rejoicing exercises for this reason.  "I thought I could create something joyful, where you were doing something for a reason rather than yourself. But that's the extent of my exercise. I'm not big on going to the gym… and I’m particular about who I sweat with." 
8. Annie Lennox

Annie Lennox is all about being natural. She tells Yahoo that she doesn’t get Botox or plastic surgery. “If I were going to do some work, which I mean, again, I haven’t done it yet, I might. But if I did, I wouldn’t want to end up with this frozen mask, which is Botox, which is surgery. I think, the day they get it right will be the day that you can’t really tell.”
9. Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez is in great shape. And she makes sure to workout on a regular basis."Very rarely will I skip my workout," Lopez told UsWeekly. "Sometimes, I work too late the night before and I'm like, 'Ugh, I can't do this.' But I tell myself, 'Just do it. It's only an hour.' It's just talking yourself off the ledge of being a lazy bum."
10. Sheryl Crow
Shutterstock
Sheryl Crow shared some of her wellness secrets in an essay with InStyle. “I totally embrace days when I can just sit and do nothing,” she says. “But exercise is really important to me. Whether it’s going for a jog or getting on my rowing machine, it’s a great way of burning through some of that unnecessary anxiety. I have one of the machines with water in it — it’s low-impact and core- and back-strengthening. And meditating has encouraged me to let go and not be so critical of myself. I started when my career was exploding and I felt like I couldn’t find myself anymore.”
11. Cyndi Lauper

Cyndi Lauper shared her approach to diet and exercise with Closer Weekly. “I try and watch what I eat. I exercise frequently — a combination of ballet, light weights, and yoga. And aerobics — because you have to exercise your heart. I think of myself as a professional athlete because I sing, and if my body is an instrument then it better be tuned and doing well so I can perform the way I want to, not just the way I can.”
12. Debbie Harry

Debbie Harry shared some of her favorite foods with Bon Appetit. She says that she likes to make her own salad dressings. “I’m so weight-conscious, I’ve grown accustomed to salads and raw foods. It’s nothing that falls into the category of fine dining—or even cooking—but making a good salad dressing is an art. I like something lemony, or maybe some sesame oil, a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little jolt. It varies. Some of the Japanese dressings are quite nice. They’re light and feel really good on the palate.”
13. Bono

Bono has a very supportive wife, Ali Hewson. He talked about their marriage in an interview with People. "It is a grand madness about us. And there's something about knowing that you're going against the odds. But I would say if you ask me seriously, friendship can outpace romantic love, sometimes. And friendship is what myself and Ali have. When you have romantic love and friendship, that's really something special."
14. Billy Idol

Billy Idol makes sure to stay in shape, so he can have enough stamina to get through her performances. He shared his workout routine to DailyMailTV. “A lot of it is cardio. I have to do a lot of exercise because my stage performance, I don't just stand there. I'm full on engaged and you need all your breath.”
15. Sade

In an interview with BlackDoctor.org, Sade talked about her approach to exercise. “I do move a lot. I’m always doing stuff. I don’t lounge around much. I’m always moving and I’m always active. I’ve tried things and I’ve tried exercise because I know it’s good and I’ve tried to do yoga, but my life just doesn’t seem to allow it.”
16. Melissa Etheridge

In a 2014 interview with Huffington Post Live, Melissa Etheridge revealed that she changed how she approached her diet after beating cancer. "After cancer, food took on a different meaning for me. It used to be, 'I don't feel very well, I'm depressed, [I'll eat a] Pop-Tart.' That's kind of what food was for me.”
17. Alanis Morrissette
Jason Kempin/Getty Images
In 2020, Alanis Morrissette opened up about what she is doing during lockdowns to Vogue. “Meditating, sitting in the deep stillness has almost always been a regulating force for me. It is not always the best option for those of us who are challenged by being left alone with the cruel critic or mean voices we can sometimes hear.”
18. Shania Twain
Shutterstock
Shania Twain has her own workout series on Apple Fitness. She opened up about her approach to working out in a press release. "You've got to make working out fun, do what you love, so it feels like burning energy instead of a job! I hear lots of people like listening to my music in the gym and it makes me so happy — it means it's energetic and inspirational."
19. Jon Bon Jovi
Emma McIntyre/Getty Images
Jon Bon Jovi makes sure to stay in shape. And he does a lot of different things to do so. In 2020, Bon Jovi shared this video on his Instagram advertising a concert with Hampton Water Kitchen. In it, he is seen going for a run, lifting weights, and doing sit-ups.
20. Gloria Estefan
Shutterstock
In an interview with Parade, Gloria Estefan revealed how she stays in shape. “Exercise is crucial for me. I have hardware in my back (my band called me Robo-pop), so it’s very important for me to keep active. I do an hour on the elliptical or some other kind of cardio. And I do strength training with rubber bands. My muscles will bulk up a lot, so I like to keep them long and limber. Like most women, I am really trying to stay in top shape. And especially at this decade, it gets a little more difficult.”

The Karate Kid star opened up about his life and career in an interview with The Guardian. Macchio says that he is grateful for the career he’s been able to have and that he is at peace with his life. “Pride, and privilege. It sounds like I’m feeding you bullshit, but I’m not. It’s been a unique experience. It’s been a unique existence. How healthy is it, at the age of 60, to sit in nostalgia so much? I don’t know. I just know I’m at peace with it.”
2. Ramona Singer

The Real Housewives star shared some of her favorite workouts with Us Weekly. She says that she likes to do a variety of different things. “I’m doing a lot of combinations. So I’m doing Exhale, which is all about Core Fusion. I do core training, I do tennis and I run — intermittently. I run for a mile on a treadmill. So it’s working.”
3. Julianne Moore

Actress Julianne Moore has amazing skin, which has kept her looking the same for decades. Moore shared her biggest skincare secret in an interview with The Sunday Times Style. “My mother has a lot to do with it because she wouldn’t let us go in the sun. She couldn’t be in the sun and I look just like her. I wear a sunscreen on my face every day and a hat too.”
4. Julia Louis-Dreyfuss
Rob Kim/Getty Images
Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfuss opened up about how she recovered from breast cancer in a 2019 interview with TV Week.  “I’ve always been a healthy eater and an exerciser, but now I’m even more so,” she says. “I’m kind of hyper-vigilant about it; getting a certain amount of exercise in for certain a week and trying to live as clean a diet as I possibly can. I mean, you know, within moderation!”
5. Angela Bassett
Taylor Hill/FilmMagic
Angela Bassett shared her workout routine in an interview. The Oscar-winner says that she makes sure to be consistent with her exercise, and that her workouts are determined by her diet. “I go in the morning because my workout quotient will diminish as the day goes on. Maybe Monday, Tuesday, I’ll do cardio; Wednesday, Thursday, because I’m eating protein, I’ll do strength building; and then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, when I’m eating all that fat, then it’s about deep breathing, a massage, yoga.”
6. Christie Brinkley

Christie Brinkley shared the secrets to her good looks in an interview with Byrdie. She says that skincare is very important to her. “I start every day by exfoliating my face. That’s something I’ve done for the past 40 years. I feel like it’s really contributed to my skin feeling fresh and smooth. Forty years ago, I read an article that said men always look five years younger than women who are their same age. They contributed that to them shaving every day, and the daily exfoliating with shaving their skin makes them look younger. I was like, I’m not going to let them get away with that! I use the Authentic Skin Care Closeup Instant Wrinkle Reducer & Treatment from my skincare line because it’s gentle. The whole line was modeled after the skincare ritual I already have.”
7. Michelle Yeoh

The Oscar winner shared some of her skincare secrets in an interview. She says that protecting her skin from the sun is very important to her. “I also used to suntan back in the ’80s when it was trendy to do so. But I noticed that doing so aged my skin, so I stopped and now, I never go anywhere without slapping on sunscreen first.”
8. Sheryl Crow

Singer Sheryl Crow spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do is go to the lake and do water activities. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself going boating. Crow captioned the post, “Happy Sunday everybody!! And yes, I do have a life outside of being a Milwaukee Bucks fan!”
9. Demi Moore

Demi Moore has incredible skin, and shared some of her secrets in a 2019 interview with Harper’s Bazaar. In it, she uses a Georgia Louise Lift and a sculpting stone to evenly spread the products on her face, and Moore also says that there are other benefits to doing this.  ​​“You work through all the tension in your face. It activates the blood flow in your skin. When you’re over 50 and you feel like your skin is hitting the floor, this is an incredible uplift.”
10. Nia Vardalos

Nia Vardalos is open about her struggles with her weight and health. In a 2014 interview with OaklandCountyMoms.com, she talked about her typical diet. “What I try to do in our house is we try to do things that are whole grain, and also we use tomato sauces that don’t have any preservatives in them. We have to be real. Not everyone has time to be at home and have an apron on, and make a three course meal. So, it’s just very easy I think to make healthy choices.”
11. Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks has type 2 diabetes, which means he has to take care of his health. Hanks opened up about his approach in an interview on the Sooo Many White Guys podcast. “Part of it is because of my genes and part of it is because of the horrible lifestyle that I led of eating anything. So now the first thing that I do is I try to take care of that. “I try to get, every single day, one hour of activity. That can be anything from a treadmill or a walk or a hike with a dog but it has to be one hour every single day.”
12. Seal

Singer Seal opened up about his diet in an interview with GourmetTraveler.com. “I'm vegan with pescatarian tendencies. My reason for veganism isn't to avoid eating meat, though, so if I felt like having a steak, then I'd go and have a great steak. I just haven't felt like it in the past year.”
13. Bono

The U2 frontman and humanitarian opened up about what he wants people to take away from the band’s songs in an interview with The Los Angeles Times. “Even before U2 had a record deal, we played an anti-apartheid show. We were insufferable from a very early age. (laughs) This is the arrogance of great songwriting. John Fogerty had it. Bob Dylan, Kendrick Lamar, John Lennon, Bob Marley … If U2 communicated anything, outside of the personal conversations of our songs, I hope it was: The world is more malleable than you think. These immovable objects are not immovable.”
14. Evander Holyfield

The boxer notably came out of retirement in 2020 to fight Mike Tyson. Holyfield also shares a bunch of workout videos on social media. In them, he is seen lifting weights with a trainer. The Mayo Clinic states that weight training has many benefits. “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age. Strength training can reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions, such as arthritis, back pain, obesity, heart disease, depression and diabetes.”
15. Kevin Costner

Kevin Costner isn’t just an outdoors guy when he’s on the set of Yellowstone. He told GQ that he spends a lot of time outside, and makes sure to stay active on a regular basis. "I love a little horseback riding, followed by taking the kids out to the tide pools and just running around looking for crabs. I've been real lucky about a lot of things in my life, but one of the things has been this ability to stay healthy. I think one of the big things that helps me is that I don't sit it out. I move. I get out there and take the biggest bite out of life that's possible."

Actor and singer Lou Diamond Phillips shared some of his favorite wellness and lifestyle products in an interview with New York Magazine. He says that he likes to take relaxing baths to help with his wellbeing, particularly with oils. “It wasn't until I was working on location as a director rather than an actor that I started really appreciating those things. Directing is infinitely more stressful than acting, because you’re being asked a dozen questions every hour and having to pay attention to the minutiae. There’s no rest. And at the end of the day, man, a therapeutic bath prepares me to actually get some sleep. This specific one comes from Germany and was developed by a priest who used water therapy to heal people. The movie Water Healer is about his life. He was a holistic doctor long, long before it was hip. I’ll sometimes combine it with Epsom salts, but this alone is very relaxing.”
17. Matthew Broderick

Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker opened up about their relationship in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Parker says that her husband is an avid cyclist, and Broderick followed that up by talking about what it’s like to bike in New York City. “There are so many bike lanes now, and they’re safer — you’re not in traffic the way you were, so you’re not fighting for your life — the feeling is a little different. And I’m now one of the curmudgeons who doesn’t like the aggressive cyclists. Sometimes I’m aggressive. I’m in a transitional period.”
18. Antonio Banderas

Actor Antonio Banderas notably had a heart attack in 2017. Not long after that, he opened up about his recovery in an interview with EverythingZoomer.com. “Well, to follow all the prescriptions the doctors give and the advice they give. I was a smoker, and it was gone like this [snaps fingers]. Cold turkey, stop. That’s rule No. 1. Then, exercise for me is very important. Don’t be in situations of stress — that’s very important. That’s more complicated for me. I live in situations of stress practically all the time. Take your Aspirin every morning, so as to have your blood a little bit more liquid. If you follow all of those things, you do every six months your stress test, you’re going to be fine. But you have to do it. And drinking — not too much. If you drink a little bit of red wine a day, fine. But that’s it.”
19. Jon Bon Jovi

Singer and Bon Jovi frontman, Jon Bon Jovi, shared some of his favorite workouts in this video on Instagram. Bon Jovi does a variety of things to stay in shape. In it, he is seen going on a run, lifting weights, doing sit-ups, and enjoying a pool day with his family. Bon Jovi is also a charitable person, as the Instagram post is advertising donating to World Central Kitchen.

Singer and actress, Gloria Estefan, shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Parade. “Exercise is crucial for me,” she says. “I have hardware in my back (my band called me Robo-pop), so it’s very important for me to keep active. I do an hour on the elliptical or some other kind of cardio. And I do strength training with rubber bands. My muscles will bulk up a lot, so I like to keep them long and limber. Like most women, I am really trying to stay in top shape. And especially at this decade, it gets a little more difficult.”

Kacey Musgraves opened up about her past struggles with an eating disorder on an episode of the A Slight Change of Plans podcast. “I guess it just showed me that everyone has their way of dealing with pressure, and you wanna control more,” she said. “I've learned a lot about control — you wanna control when you don't feel safe. And that's...I mean, I can really relate to that. Whatever is in your outside environment that's making you feel out of control, it just makes you grab on even harder. So knowing what you're doing, and why you're doing that, can at least maybe help you stop.”
2. Mary J. Blige

Mary J. Blige talked about her fitness routine in an interview with Shape. In it, she said that running and cardio are favorite exercises. “The treadmill is fine,” Blige said. “But running outdoors gives me the best results. I try to log 6 to 8 miles a week. I could be in the worst mood, but when I do my cardio I feel much, much better.”
3. Megan Thee Stallion

Rapper Megan Thee Stallion started releasing videos on Instagram called her “Hottie Bootcamp” series in 2021. In them, she talked about her journey to being more healthy.

4. Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood’s trainer, Eve Overland, broke down the Grammy-winner’s workouts with E! News. "Each workout incorporates both upper-body as well as lower-body exercises. Most commonly, we will work with opposing muscle groups.Day one could be upper-body push exercises, like chest presses and triceps extensions, and lower-body pull exercises, like hamstring curls and deadlifts," Eve explained. "Day two could be upper-body pull, like lat pull-downs and biceps curls, and lower-body push, like squats and lunges."
5. Meghan Trainor

Meghan Trainor is all about being comfortable with her body, she also wants to be healthy for her son. Trainor told People, "I want to run and keep up with my kid. I want to be able to put on a bathing suit and run out there and not be in my head about it. And I want to climb up a treehouse with him. I've lost all the baby weight and 10 extra lbs., so I'm just going to keep going and do this for my younger self."
6. Dua Lipa
Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic
In 2018, the year before she won Best New Artist at the Grammys, Dua Lipa shared her workout secrets with Viva Magazine. “I try and work out as much as I can. It's such a busy lifestyle I feel like I need to try and do something for myself every day. I love doing something that's really fast and quick, like a 15-minute HIIT session which I can do before I start my day. If I've got a really early call time I don't want to be waking up hours before I need to, to go and do a workout.”
7. Ciara
Taylor Hill/FilmMagic
Ciara shared some of her workout secrets in a 2015 interview with Shape. She says that her trainer, Gunnar Peterson, likes to box with her. “What's amazing is that you're getting three-in-one training: It's hitting your muscles; it's a cardiovascular workout; and it's a mental exercise. You have to be superfocused when you're boxing. After I've done a few rounds, I feel as if I can conquer the world."
8. LeAnn Rimes

LeAnn Rimes is the youngest woman to receive the Best New Artist Award at the Grammys. In 2017, she broke down her workout routine with UsWeekly. “I do like my butt. I did something on Instagram called Tight Tush Tuesday and everybody kind of freaked out about it, so it’s become a thing. I work pretty hard on my butt.”
9. Maren Morris

Maren Morris works with trainer, Erin Opera, to help her stay in shape. After having her first child in 2020, Morris started working with Opera two months afterwards. “We are back to training again and she is a badass and I’m so proud of her,” Opera told UsWeekly. “She worked up until basically the day, I think we trained like a day or two before she had the baby. And then we’re back at it.”
10. Kim Petras

In 2019, Kim Petras broke down her nighttime skincare routine with Parade. “At night, I take my makeup off, and I put on Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum. It’s really good. I put that on and I put on Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Hydrating Mask with Avocado and Swiss Glacier Water and Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Eye, which is the overnight eye cream.  And I love the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate. It smells like lavender, which is really nice. It makes you feel sleepy.”
11. Bruno Mars
Kevin Mazur/Getty Images
Just after playing the 2016 SuperBowl Halftime Show, Bruno Mars shared how he prepped in an interview with Rolling Stone, and what advice he took from fellow headliner Beyonce. “Me and Beyoncé were both working on our diets, stressing out. Then the day before, we’re watching playback backstage and she’s eating a bag of Cheetos.” Mars says that she inspired him to not stress about things in his career. “Sometimes I feel like I’m in the music business 10 years too late,” he said. “How many platforms do we have? Whose money are we giving to who? It’s this weird game. You don’t even buy songs anymore — it’s just a subscription, it’s Netflix. And while we’re in the process of figuring it all out, I’m here trying to make albums.”
12. Dave Grohl
Dave Benett/Getty Images
Dave Grohl opened up about his long career on an episode of NPR’s Fresh Air. “One of the biggest lessons is to know when to say no and not ever feel like you have to buckle to the pressure of someone else forcing you to make music or to perform or to, you know, do something that you're just - that your heart isn't there for. And that's the way we've worked. And I have to imagine one of the reasons why we've survived this long is because if you get that tinge, that feeling in the back of your mind where you're just punching in and going through the motions, that's when it's time to, like, pump the brakes and stop.”
13. Chris Stapleton
Jason Davis/Getty Images
On an episode of NPR’s Morning Edition, Chris Stapleton talked about the impact music has had on him. “I would certainly say that it's therapeutic. Playing a guitar, for me, is very much that: If I had a security blanket, that would be what it is. When I was a single man, I used to sleep with one. Not in any kind of weird way, but I would fall asleep with it, you know? And sometimes, a lot of times, those songs are just for that moment.”
14. Chance The Rapper
Frazer Harrison/Getty Images
Chance The Rapper isn’t just a Grammy winner and a coach on The Voice. He’s also an advocate for mental health. He opened up about it in a 2017 interview with Complex Magazine. “I think anxiety is also something that I’m just now being exposed to. A really big conversation and idea that I’m getting introduced to right now is black mental health. ‘Cause for a long time that wasn’t a thing that we talked about. I don’t remember it. I don’t remember people talking about anxiety.” 
15. Zac Brown

Zac Brown opened up about his motivations for staying healthy in an interview with People. "Whatever makes me feel the best so I can be the best for my kids and my people, that's the goal for me. As I get older, the more I want to be able to get out and adventure, dive deeper, go out into the woods. That's a huge motivator for me. I want to be a ripped old dude."
16. Tim McGraw
Frazer Harrison/Getty Images
Country legend Tim McGraw talked about why he decided to live a healthier life in an interview, and it was motivated by his daughter, Gracie. “My daughter said, ‘Jeez, Dad. You really need to do something,’ ” he says. “For your kid to say that, it sounds funny—and it was funny—but it kick-started a thought process in my head that made me look into the future…I wanted to get control of my life. What was the one thing that I could do? Well, I could control how I treated myself.”
17. Jon Batiste
Frazer Harrison/Getty Images
In an interview with The New York Times, Jon Batiste broke down what he does on Sundays. In it, he talked about his faith and his love of meditation. “Like I do every morning, I begin Sundays by doing a combination of meditation and prayer for a half-hour or so. I start by sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor of my living room, closing my eyes and doing some deep breathing. Then I get on my knees and read the Bible. I’m a devout Christian; praying and meditating for the last several years has helped me feel calm and centered as my life has gotten busier.”
18. Lil Nas X
Lester Cohen/Getty Images
Lil Nas X shared his secrets for staying fit in an interview with Men’s Health. “I stopped smoking two years ago, that’s definitely helped vocally. Even in the studio, performance wise. I also work out a few times a week so I can stay strong, and I do a lot of rehearsals when I’m building up for a show. All of that helps me stay in good shape.”
19. Kendrick Lamar
Steve Granitz/WireImage
Rapper Kendrick Lamar is a fan of boxing, and has been seen doing so. Harvard Health states that boxing is an aerobic exercise, which means it has a lot of benefits. “Aerobic exercise gets your heart pumping and helps lower the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. It can strengthen bones and muscles, burn more calories, and lift mood. Aerobics can also boost your endurance, which helps you climb a flight of stairs or walk farther. “
20. Harry Styles
Kevin Mazur/Getty Images
Harry Styles opened up about what he does for his wellbeing in a 2020 interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music. "I'll meditate in the morning and then have a coffee and do some reading to kind of just try and wake up a little bit. And then I go for a run, try and get some air and some sunshine, and try and work out in the morning or something. And then I’ll try and do a little work and just go for a walk in the afternoon."

Britney Spears has been dancing all her life, and she’s still doing so. Spears is known for posting videos on Instagram of herself dancing at home. Dance has a lot of benefits. Prudential reports, “Dancing requires lots of fast movement and good posture, which can help you gain better control of your body. Moreover, there are 3 primary planes of motion; unlike simple movements such as walking and cycling, which only involve the sagittal plane of your body, dancing works your body from all planes, which means ALL your muscles are involved, not just some.”
3. Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera shared some of her wellness and beauty secrets in an interview with Marie Claire. She says that she’s all about self-care and relaxation. “I live for my epsom salts and my baths. I have so many different scents that I carry with me–everyone makes fun of me. I’ll go for rose for calming and lavender for sleep to moisturizing coconut to heavy duty menthol. If I’m congested, I’ll reach for eucalyptus—I’m across the board. I need them in my life; I’m obsessed with them. I also like different scented oils. They’re mentally refreshing. I’ll do little spritzes of rose oil.”
4. Lisa Rinna
Unique Nicole/FilmMagic
Actress and reality star, Lisa Rinna, opened up about her favorite workouts on her website. She says that she loves to walk to stay in shape. “The thing that keeps it interesting for me is I don’t always have ‘normal’ weeks. When I am traveling, I like to walk. I can walk and walk and walk for miles. Sometimes, I will use the gym in my hotel but if I am in a big city like NYC, I just walk. The time flies by because there is always something exciting going on around me and before you know it, I’ve covered five miles.”
5. Jennifer Lopez
Steve Granitz/FilmMagic
Actress and singer Jennifer Lopez is known for her impressive body and beauty. She also has a high level of confidence in herself. "I think the idea of being curvaceous, being a little bit bigger than normal or smaller than normal, all of that is okay,” she told Heat Magazine. “As long as it’s healthy. I embrace who I am. I feel sexy, I feel youthful, I feel pretty!"
6. Cindy Crawford

Cindy Crawfod is one of the most successful and gorgeous supermodels of all time, and she still  looks amazing today. “My go-to workout would be 20 minutes of cardio then weights,” she said in 2017 to The Cut. “Sometimes the cardio is jumping on a trampoline, using a treadmill or elliptical or running. We have stairs going down to the beach from our house. I put on an audiobook or music while I run the stairs at my house for 20 minutes.” 
7. Robert Downey Jr.
Steve Granitz/FilmMagic
The Iron Man star is open about his struggles with being in the public eye. In an interview on Off Camera, Downey Jr. talked about how he manages to move on from a project without too much mental struggles. “First thing you learn in theater arts: Aesthetic distance. I am not this play I’m doing. I’m not a character in ‘The Fantasticks.’ I’m not Will from ‘Oklahoma.’ Aesthetic distance. It’s job one. I’m not my work. I’m not what I did with that studio. I’m not that period of time that I spent playing this character. And it sucks because the kid in all of us wants to be like, ‘No! It’s always gonna be summer camp and we’re all holding hands and singing kumbaya. Isn’t it?’ It’s like, ‘no! Snap out of it.'”
8. Jessica Simpson

One of the secrets to Jessica Simpson’s good looks is her skincare. She shared her tips in an interview with Shape. “During this pandemic, I've gone down a skin-care rabbit hole, and I've been using a red-light therapy mask too," she says. "I'm obsessed with doing red-light therapy treatments at home. I place the anti-inflammatory device everywhere on my body, including my scalp, stomach, and boobs. I have fewer wrinkles at 40 than I did at 38!"
9. Vanessa Lachey
Arturo Holmes/WireImage
The Love Is Blind host tells Us Weekly that she and her family turn to portion control as a way to help her eat healthy. “I think portion control is always the biggest thing that people can do, because it’s impossible to say, ‘Change the way you eat.’ I have three kids, like, I’m gonna constantly be eating whatever’s on their plate. That’s just how it is. Nick will tell you, he was a kid where his parents were from the Depression era. So we were from the clean plate era. You had to clean your plate, so it’s still instilled within us. I think just portion control for anybody. They’ll see a difference.”
10. Jimmy Kimmel
Steve Granitz/FilmMagic
The talk show host opened up about his diet in an interview with Men’s Journal. “My new thing — something I've been doing for a couple of years now, actually — is starving myself two days a week. People call it the 5:2 diet, but I've been doing it since before it had a name. On Monday and Thursday, I eat fewer than 500 calories a day, then I eat like a pig for the other five days.”
11. Teresa Guidice
Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images
The Real Housewives star recently got married, and opened up about her wedding preparation to CNN. "Leading up to my wedding, I  was getting to the gym as much as I could. And I was doing a lot of walking, like in my development, Louie and I would walk together. You know, walking is really important. I would do like 3 to 4 miles a day. Sometimes I put ankle weights on; I like the red Bala bands."
12. AJ McLean

While appearing on Dancing with The Stars, the Backstreet Boy worked with a trainer to help him stay in shape. McLean opened up about the process on Instagram. “Blood, sweat, tears. Rinse and Repeat. Thank you @bobbystrom for helping find my body and piece of mind again! This is an ongoing journey that I will never stop working on. Never felt better and more confident about my mind, body and spirit as I do today.”
13. Terry Crews

Prior to starring on shows like Everybody Hates Chris and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Terry Crews was a former football player, and he’s still looking the same today. He opened up about his diet to Men’s Health. “When I wake up, the first thing I do is have a glass of water...And I put amino acid powder inside—I like to call it stardust. I drink that all morning and afternoon. And, then I’m off to the races.”
14. Andy Samberg

In a 2015 interview with Nylon, the Saturday Night Live and Brooklyn Nine-Nine star opened up about how he approaches his career. Samberg says that he focuses on doing what makes him happy, rather than what’ll be successful. “Making a movie is super-fucking-hard work and no one wants to put out a movie and have it not make a gajillion dollars, but I genuinely feel like I’ve reached a point where, when I’m old and I’m going to die, I really made the shit that I personally thought was funny.”
15. Gwyneth Paltrow

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has learned to embrace her body as she’s gotten older. “My body knows what it's doing and has some muscle memory, some strength, and some flexibility," Paltrow told Shape. "But it's important to have some grace around the aging of your body, to be forgiving. Okay, well, maybe my skin or my muscle won't bounce back here the way it used to, and that's okay. You have to recalibrate."
16. Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon has been a public figure for almost two decades. He opened up about how he deals with criticism on an episode of Fresh Air. “I don't care what anyone says,” he said. “I think everyone's - I think they're - no. If I needed people to write for my show, I would have them write for my show. I'm not going to change who I am because of them. It's just the world changing.”
17. Channing Tatum
Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images
Channing Tatum is known for his good looks, as you could see in the Magic Mike film series. However, he revealed on The Kelly Clarkson Show that he isn’t a fan of doing the intense workouts he had to do for the films everyday. Tatum opts for a more natural look and a more realistic approach. “Trust me. That might be the reason I didn't want to do a third one is because I have to look like that. Even if you do workout, to be that kind of in shape is not natural. That's not even healthy—you have to starve yourself. I don't know how people who work a 9-to-5 actually stay in shape because it's my full-time job and I can barely do it. You work out twice a day. You have to eat completely right at a certain time."
18. Ryan Reynolds
Matthew Ashton - AMA/Getty Images
To get in shape for Deadpool, Reynolds worked with trainer Don Saladino. “I’ve been working with Ryan for over a decade,” Saladino told Men’s Health. “Every movie he got ready for I prepped him for. He’s an incredible human being. He’s very talented, athletic and humble. I can’t take full credit because he has such a drive.”
19. Paul Rudd
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Paul Rudd has done a lot in his career, with Ant-Man: Quantumania being his most recent film. He opened up about his preparation for the role in an interview with Men’s Health. “I get up and I have a cup of coffee, and then I do cardio before I eat anything. I never would’ve done that before [Ant-Man]. I lift weights, hopefully at least three times a week. And I’ve learned so much about how my body reacts to foods, how it reacts to exercise, and where I’m happiest and how much it affects me mentally…If I’m in this suit, running around playing a character who’s supposed to be a superhero, I just feel better. And I feel less like an imposter.”
20. Nick Lachey

Nick Lachey and his wife, Vanessa, recently moved to Hawaii, to accommodate Vanessa’s role on NCIS: Hawaii. He also spent time in Panama filming Netflix’s Perfect Match. Lachey and their kids like to do a lot of outdoor activities in all these tropical locations. Naturally, Lachey spends a lot of time at the beach, and shared this video of him walking in the ocean on Instagram. He captioned the post, “Not a bad day at the office!” Augustine Recovery reports that spending time at the beach has a lot of mental health benefits. “Surrounding yourself with nature has a calming effect that can reduce your stress levels. The beach also provides soothing sensory input from the sound of ocean waves meeting the shore and the feel of warm sand beneath your feet. Spending time at the beach can lessen nervous system arousal – something that contributes to your excess anxiety.”

Get ready to be inspired by these 20 amazing musicians who not only captivate us with their music but also take their bodies and well-being seriously. From Selena Gomez's energy-boosting diet on tour to Zayn Malik's candid journey to self-acceptance, each artist has their own approach to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Taylor Swift reveals her secret to blocking out negativity, while Harry Styles focuses on leg workouts and meditation for his mental health. Join us as we delve into the wellness routines of stars like Ariana Grande, Nick Jonas, and more, discovering how they stay fit, confident, and ready to rock the stage!
1. Selena Gomez
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
In a 2016 interview with Byrdie, Selena Gomez’s trainer, Amy Rosoff, opened up about the singer’s diet. "Last year on Selena's revival tour, I made sure the dressing room always had veggies and protein and brown rice or whole grains," Davis says. "I made a lot of rice bowls with veggies, protein, and avocado for Selena. It helped give her energy and stamina, which she needed to get through her shows. I also made healthy chicken salad with grapes and celery—it quenched her thirst and the protein filled her up. We always drank lots of water and had green tea when we needed a pick me up—it sure was exhausting at times." 
2. Zayn Malik

In his memoir, Zayn, the former One Direction member opened up about his struggles with body image. Malik admitted to having an eating disorder. “It wasn’t as though I had any concerns about my weight or anything like that, I’d just go for days—sometimes two or three days straight—without eating anything at all. It got quite serious, although at the time I didn’t recognise it for what it was. I think it was about control. I didn’t feel like I had control over anything else in my life, but food was something I could control, so I did.”
3. Taylor Swift
Amy Sussman/Getty Images
Taylor Swift is the biggest pop star out there. One of her secrets to keeping a mental state is ignoring what others think of her. She opened up about this in a 2019 interview with ELLE. “I learned to block some of the noise. Social media can be great, but it can also inundate your brain with images of what you aren’t, how you’re failing, or who is in a cooler locale than you at any given moment. One thing I do to lessen this weird insecurity laser beam is to turn off comments. Yes, I keep comments off on my posts. That way, I’m showing my friends and fans updates on my life, but I’m training my brain to not need the validation of someone telling me that I look 🔥🔥🔥.” 
4. Harry Styles

In a 2020 interview with Vogue, Harry Styles opened up about his wellness routine. The Grammy winner says that he does a lot of leg workouts. "I’ve got very tight hamstrings,” Styles explained. “Trying to get those open.” Styles also is a fan of meditation. "Meditation just brings a stillness that has been really beneficial, I think, for my mental health."
5. Niall Horan

In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, Niall Horan opened up about how he approaches fame. “Don’t be a prick,” he says. “There’s no secret to that. Just don’t be one. My Irishness? My humble upbringing? This is like some kind of questionnaire. A combination of a few things. Carefree attitude?”

The former One Direction opened up about how he approaches his career in an interview with Billboard. “It’s another massive benefit of working with artists. They know what it feels like to be on stage. They know about that connection, they know how important it is — they understand a setlist, they understand different moments in the show, etc., etc.. It’s a really natural thing. And also, you know, even not as artists, we’ve all as music fans had great experiences going to watch live music. So it’s just drawing on all those memories, really, and trying to capitalize on the unbelievable atmosphere of every show. The crowd. I’m so f—ing lucky to have such a great crowd at every show, so I wanted to make a record to match that.”

Singer Tori Kelly opened up about working out in a 2016 interview with SELF.com. “If I’m honest, there are some days I just don’t feel like doing anything,” she says. “On those days I have found a way to still keep the momentum going by doing 40 push-ups, 40 dips, 40 sit-ups, & 40 squats. It’s such a quick little routine that I don’t even think about it and I can go on with my day knowing I did something active!”

In a revealing interview with GQ, Shawn Mendes opened up about his journey to self-acceptance. “To have to be someone you’re not, to the whole world, is horrible. And I know how difficult it is to be authentic. [But] I can speak to you clearly because I’m not dancing around my real self. I’m just being me with you. And that’s beauty. And that’s success.”

Kim Petras has amazing skin, and shared some of her secrets in an interview with Parade. “I travel a lot for work. So if I go on the plane, I'll take Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes with me, wipe my makeup off and put on a sheet mask. I know it looks stupid when you're sitting next to somebody and you put on a face mask, but it's so drying and the air conditioning is so intense. Also I'm European, so ever since I've been in America, there's air conditioning everywhere, which is really drying to the skin as well. So moisturize! And then once or twice a week, I do a little peeling.”

Ed Sheeran opened up about his workout routine in a 2017 interview with Signal 1 Radio. "I did 10 minutes a day without fail – intervals of 30 seconds sprinting and 30 jogging. The key is to not miss a day, so you don’t have to do an hour."

Melanie C is better known as “Sporty Spice.” Naturally, she’s in great shape. Melanie’s trainer, Tracy Knight, opened up about the singer’s diet and workout routine with Women’s Health. “Mel has long, lean limbs to start with, which certainly helps. But fitness is obviously important to her and she works hard in the gym. But Mel also knows the importance of good nutrition. It is often said that abs are built in the kitchen but the same can be said for the rest of our bodies too. When Mel was appearing on Dancing with the Stars she regularly posted pictures of her meals which were lots of lean protein, veg and carbs to keep her going during the training.”

It’s going to be mixing dancing with belting and singing and my heart out and everything in between.”

In an interview with GQ, the OneRepublic frontman, producer, and songwriter talked about how he stays fit. “I like running. I’ve never run more than 10 miles. I normally do a 10k or a 5k. I like running but I don’t like much else. I hate the idea of marathons. People are always amazed that I haven’t done a marathon because I’ve been running for 15 to 20 years, but I hate them. I have no desire to do a marathon. The idea of running that long seems ridiculous to me. I run purely for fitness, I’m not competitive. I’m competitive with everything else but not with running.”

In an interview with British Vogue, Adele talked about the reasons for her weight loss. She says that she does a variety of things each day. “I do my weights in the morning, then I normally hike or I box in the afternoon, and then I go and do my cardio at night. I'm an athlete, I love it!”

Dani Elle Speegle isn’t just strong—she’s unstoppable. The elite CrossFit athlete and social media sensation has built a massive following by sharing her intense training sessions and inspiring fitness moments. Recently, she posted a series of weightlifting photos on Instagram, proving once again why she’s a powerhouse in the gym.
“Just a girl and her barbell,” she captioned the post, letting her strength do the talking. From lifting heavy to outdoor adventures, here’s how Speegle stays in peak condition.

            
                She Lifts Weights

In her Instagram post, Speegle is seen lifting weights. According to ACE Fitness, doing this has a lot of benefits. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

            
                She Golfs

Speegle likes to golf to keep herself in shape. She shared a video of herself on the course in this Instagram post. According to Randa aerobic exercise. “Golf can help strength and balance, improve quality of life and provide aerobic exercise. On a regular 18-hole course, most players will walk between four and five miles, burning up to 2,000 calories.”

            
                She's Into Jumping Rope

Speegle shared this video on Instagram of herself competing in Crossfit events. In it, she is seen jumping rope. According to The Cleveland Clinic, jumping rope has a lot of benefits. “Benefits of jump rope can help improve your coordination, get your heart rate going and help burn calories — and it’s an easy, affordable way to get some cardio in.”

            
                She Hikes

Speegle likes to hike to keep herself in shape. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself hiking the Koko Head Summit. Speegle captioned the post, “Woke up and chose pain today. Every 45 min X 3 rounds: Koko head 💀💀💀 Then sat in my car and stared into the abyss while munching on Banan 🥲🥲🥲”

            
                She Does Cold Plunges

Speegle makes sure to recover. One thing she likes to do is cold plunges. Speegle shared this video of herself jumping into a tub. According to The Mayo Clinic, these have a lot of benefits. “Research on cold-water immersion has found evidence that it helps reduce the degree of exercise-induced muscle damage that can occur after physically challenging activities. Less damage leads to less inflammation, which in turn reduces soreness and helps restore physical performance the next day. These benefits may be the result of rapid constriction of the blood vessels due to the cold water. The cold can trigger responses in your body, such as decreased metabolic activity, alterations in hormone production and blood flow, and activation of the immune system.”

Tvesa Malik isn’t just a pro golfer—she’s a powerhouse athlete dedicated to staying in peak shape. The SuperSport Ladies Championship winner knows that strength and endurance are just as important as skill on the course. That’s why she takes her fitness seriously, incorporating weightlifting, core work, and mobility exercises into her training.
Last year, Malik gave fans a look at her workout routine in an Instagram video, where she powered through hanging crunches, lunges, and weightlifting sessions. She captioned the post, “Got some major work to do before my next session,” proving that even elite athletes are always striving to improve. Here’s a closer look at how Malik keeps her body strong and ready for competition.

            
                She Lifts Weights

Malik is seen doing a lot of weight lifting in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that this has a lot of benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

            
                She Does Lunges

Malik is seen shifting into lunges in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that lunges are a form of unilateral training, and that makes them effective. “Unilateral training is a more effective way to build functional strength (than using both legs) because these types of movement mimic other everyday motions, like walking and climbing stairs — and not just to the working leg. Research suggests the strength gains to the nonworking side are about half of the strength gains of the working side.”

            
                She Does Core Workouts

Malik is seen doing core workouts, like hanging crunches in her Instagram video. Core workouts are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “While it takes aerobic activity to burn fat in your stomach, core exercises can strengthen and tone the underlying muscles. Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes.”

            
                She Does Pull-Ups

An upper body workout that Malik likes to do is pull-ups. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them at the gym. Malik captioned it, “Got some major work to do before my next session.” Asphalt Green says that pull-ups have a lot of benefits. “Pull-ups are a fantastic way to improve upper-body strength. This exercise primarily targets your back and biceps, but involves many stabilizing muscles in your core, arms, and shoulders. Depending on the way you grip the bar, you can even work your chest. Plus, you don’t need any fancy equipment to do a pull-up. Tree branches, scaffolding, and even door frames are all places people can do pull-ups.”

            
                She Golfs

Golf is obviously one of the ways that Malik keeps herself in shape. Better Health says that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

Camila Guper is more than just a fitness influencer—she’s a motivation powerhouse. With 1.1 million Instagram followers, she inspires her audience with workout routines, wellness tips, and a disciplined approach to staying fit. Recently, she took to Instagram to share a glimpse of her latest gym session, including a stairclimber workout, a snapshot of her Apple Watch tracking her progress, and a post-workout mirror selfie in pink workout gear.
Her message? Consistency is key. “Don't underestimate the power of small, consistent actions! Every effort is worth it when you know where you want to go,” she captioned the post. From intense stair workouts to leg-sculpting exercises, here’s how Guper stays in top shape.

            
                She Uses A Stairclimber

In her Instagram post, Guper is seen using the stairclimber. Stair workouts have a lot of health benefits. ACE Fitness says, “Improving metabolic health in terms of lower risks of heart problems and other complications, also by definition improves fitness. You can feel your heart working harder and the fire in your lungs when you ascend stairs. And that’s provoking important changes in your cardiorespiratory system that will make physical activities, like running and walking, feel easier.”

Guper makes sure to stay consistent with her workout routines. One way she does so is by staying disciplined. Guper talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Good morning! May we always have the discipline to do what is good for us. Amen 💪🏽🙏🏽✨ 40 min stair + shoulder and chest workout today.”

Guper shared some of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram video. One thing she is seen doing is lunges. According to The Mayo Clinic, lunges have a lot of benefits. “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.”

            
                She Does Leg Extensions

In the previous Instagram video, Guper is seen using the leg extension machine. Asphalt Green says that leg extensions have a lot of benefits. “These machines provide isolation exercises for your legs. This type of exercise works only one muscle or group of muscles, which means you can build up that part of your body quickly. If you want your thigh muscles to really stand out in those shorts you just bought, the leg extension machine is for you!”

            
                She Spends Time Outside

Guper likes to spend time outside. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself enjoying a day by the pool with her dog. Guper captioned the post, “Good Morning! What book are you reading? 📖💚🐺🌮 I'm loving reading How to become super natural! I'm already sharing saying it's a must-read.”
