No wonder it's the most common melon eaten in America and is perfect for staying refreshed and hydrated on a hot summer day.”

Spears practises yoga “every darn day”, and says it makes her happy. "I believe if everyone practiced the techniques of yoga, we would have a preventive aid to a lot of our problems," says Sat Bir Khalsa, PhD, neuroscientist and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "There would likely be less obesity and Type-II diabetes, and people would be less aggressive, more content and more integrated."

Spears loves to swim both for exercise and for fun. “Swimmers have about half the risk of death compared with inactive people,” says the CDC. “People report enjoying water-based exercise more than exercising on land. They can also exercise longer in water than on land without increased effort or joint or muscle pain. Water-based exercise can benefit older adults by improving their quality of life and decreasing disability. It can also improve or help maintain the bone health of post-menopausal women.”

Britney Spears has never been afraid to show off her fit figure on social media—and why not, she works hard for it. So it makes sense that she was peeved when the recent photos she shared didn’t look exactly right. “So people get an idea of the difference in quality of how Insta posts look versus the originals,” she captioned one before and after shot, in which the colors looked different. “My phone has it out for me!” How does Spears stay so fit?

One of Spears’ favorite ways to exercise is by practicing yoga. She even has an Instagram story highlight entitled “Yoga”, which features videos of herself doing different poses. In the first post in the highlight, Spears wrote, “Yoga every darn day!” “The goal of calming and relaxation exercises is to help change the way you perceive a situation and react to it — to help you feel more in control, more confident or secure, and to activate healing processes within the body. Give yoga a try!” says the Cleveland Clinic.

5. She Strength Trains

Spears is a fan of lifting weights and doing strength training exercises. She posted this video on Instagram of herself doing several different weight training exercises including, lifting hand weights, lifting barbells, and doing kettlebell squats. “Muscle burns more calories at rest than fat explains strength and athletic trainer Tom Iannetta, ATC, CSCS. Lots more! Ten pounds of muscle burns 50 calories at rest, whereas 10 pounds of fat burns 20 calories. This means, long after you’ve stopped working out — even while lounging by the pool or sleeping — your body is still burning over twice as many calories when you’re toned than when you’re not,” says the Cleveland Clinic.
