When it comes to working out and hitting the gym, Spears said on Instagram that she’s all about repetition. The singer said that she has a few favorite exercises that she sticks with when she works out. While she admits that this can be a bit boring, she still sticks with her routine. “The key to my workout is repetition, but that gets boring so I have a booklet I’ve made with all my favorite exercises.”

5. She Practices Yoga

One of Spears’ favorite ways to stay in shape is by practicing yoga. She has an Instagram story highlight on her page dedicated to yoga and featuring herself in different poses. She also has an Instagram story highlight of photos of herself in upside-down poses. Yoga has a lot of benefits for both your body and your mind. According to Hopkins Medicine, “Slow movements and deep breathing increase blood flow and warm up muscles, while holding a pose can build strength. Yoga is as good as basic stretching for easing pain and improving mobility in people with lower back pain.”

Britney Spears spent much of this week celebrating her “free woman energy,” including posting photos of herself on Instagram in a bathing suit. “This is my first high waisted bathing suit ever,” she captioned the photo of the pink and white number. “My fiancé likes it but I’m not sure .... It’s crazy cool cause you can adjust it high or low.” (Her fiancé is trainer Sam Asghari.) How does Spears stay so fit while keeping so busy?

Spears recently shared a post about declaring your intentions, and focusing on your goals. She captioned the post, “My word of the week is intention … it has a lot of different meanings … what do you intend to do today ??? What is your intention by doing so … and also it’s known to heal … with that said my intention by what I’m reading now by even sending this message about this beautiful word is one thing and one thing only … to help spread the word !!!! My intention is to merely exist in hopes that others see me write … dance … cry … laugh … sing … or just speak !!!! They know I exist to be a good person …. period !!!!”

2. She Hydrates

In the swimsuit share, Spears is seen guzzling a bottle of water. “Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water,” reports the Mayo Clinic. “So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is:

• About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men
• About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women.
• These recommendations cover fluids from water, other beverages and food. About 20% of daily fluid intake usually comes from food and the rest from drinks.”

3. She Dances

Spears frequently posts videos of her dancing at home. It’s a great aerobic workout. “Aerobic exercise can reduce health risks, help maintain a healthy weight, strengthen your heart and boost your mood. If you enjoy” dancing “you're also more likely to do it regularly and experience its benefits as an aerobic exercise,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Has a Positive Attitude

“Be happy and smile,” Spears posted recently. This kind of happy messaging can actually make you happy. “Positive thinking doesn't mean that you keep your head in the sand and ignore life's less pleasant situations. Positive thinking just means that you approach unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way. You think the best is going to happen, not the worst,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Positive thinking often starts with self-talk. Self-talk is the endless stream of unspoken thoughts that run through your head. These automatic thoughts can be positive or negative. Some of your self-talk comes from logic and reason. Other self-talk may arise from misconceptions that you create because of lack of information.”

5. She Has Done Yoga in the Past

“People who practice yoga and are mindful eaters are more in tune with their bodies. They may be more sensitive to hunger cues and feelings of fullness,” says Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood. People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

“I cut all my hair off and now I feel like a brand new woman,” Spears captioned her bikini video. “I made a smoothie, went into my yard, turned on some Prince and laid out ... and then I put my hair up in a ponytail which made me look like Pebbles from The Flintstones and did some laundry!!! But honestly laundry is my favorite thing to do especially in the evening when the sun is setting ... I think most women secretly love doing laundry !!! I'll be honest and say that since I've been on a break from the industry I realized it was the simple things I've missed the most !!!”

2. She Works Her Core

How did Britney train for videos like Slave 4 U? “We did somewhere between 750 to 1,000 variations of crunches a day. We would do intervals. We’d start off on the treadmill running, and then she’d go to the mat and do bicycle crunches, hitting the transverse abdominal wall, engaging the obliques,” her trainer back then, Bobby Strom, told Life & Style. “So we’d do a combination of crunches and in between, we’d focus on light weight training. For instance, I’d have her do bicep curls, kickbacks for the triceps, and lateral raises.”

3. She Drinks Smoothies

“Before you fill the blender, ask yourself a question about that smoothie,” warns the Mayo Clinic. "Are you using it as a meal replacement, or are you having it as a beverage with your meal?" asks Mayo Clinic dietitian Kate Zeratsky. “If you’re having it as a meal replacement, you want to make sure that it has the components of a meal." Add protein, for example. And: “Fruit is a great source of natural sugar, and you need not necessarily add extra sugar," adds Zeratsky. And add some veggies: "Smoothies, with their natural sweetness, are a great way to mask some of the bitter flavors of vegetables," says Zeratsky.

4. She Runs

"I run a lot," Britney revealed in one Instagram post. Hitting the trails or a treadmill is a great way to blast calories. According to Harvard Health, a 125-pound person running at 7.5 MPH can burn 375 calories in 30 minutes. And, according to science, running can help you build muscle, lower your risk of heart disease, improve your sleep, and even add years to your life.

5. She Knows Taking Moments for Herself is Important

“Hi guys, just checking in with all of you who are concerned about me,” she said in an Instagram clip in 2019. “All is well. My family has been going through a lot of stress and anxiety lately, so I just needed time to deal, but don’t worry, I’ll be back very soon.” “I am trying to take a moment for myself, but everything that’s happening is just making it harder for me,” she continued. And: “You may not know this about me, but I am strong, and stand up for what I want!” she shared in the post. “Your love and dedication is amazing, but what I need right now is a little bit of privacy to deal with all the hard things that life is throwing my way. If you could do that, I would be forever grateful. Love you.”

Britney Spears has cause to celebrate. Her conservatorship that had lasted for thirteen years has finally ended, and she’s planning a wedding to her longtime beau, Sam Asghari.
