1. Do: Go for a Run

One of Britney's favorite ways to stay in shape is via running. “I run a lot,” Britney revealed to her fans in an Instagram post. Harvard Health running is a great form of fitness. The average 155 pound person running at 10 MPH can burn a whopping 562 calories in 30 minutes. Research has found it helps build muscle, lowers your risk of heart disease, improves your sleep, and may even promote longevity.

2. Don’t: Eat Processed Food

Britney also tries to “eat clean” and be “mindful” with her food, she revealed in the same post. What is clean eating, anyway? Generally it involves sticking to fresh, unprocessed, and wholesome foods—for example, no white flour or sugar–over processed foods. One of the most famous clean eating diets? The Mediterranean Diet, consistently ranked the best diet in the world.

3. Do: Cheat

While Brit eats healthy most of the time, she allows herself to cheat on occasion, “like last night when I ate a container of peanuts,” she wrote in her post. Surprisingly, research supports "cheat meals" for a variety of reasons. For one, indulging in your cravings may help boost your metabolism and ward off feelings of deprivation—improving not only your ability to lose weight, but your ability to stick to your diet plan as well. One 2017 study published in the International Journal of Obesity claims that people on diets who took a two-week break from their low-calorie meal plan reaped more weight loss success than those constantly on a diet.

4. Don’t: Strive to Be Skinny

Britney doesn’t try to be skinny. After dropping a lot of pounds in 2021 she admitted that she feels better when she is strong. “I might look better but I felt too vulnerable in my skin being this small,” she explained in her post. She added that she “didn't like it.”

5. Do: Fight

6. Do: Yoga

Spears is also an avid yogi. One of her favorite types? Acro yoga, which she has demonstrated in a few Instagram videos showing off her moves with her now-husband.

For decades, Spears has attributed her body to dance. You can find her having fun and blasting calories in many of her videos on social media. In one of the most recent videos she dances to Beyonce. She wrote: "I danced all day yesterday to Beyonce! Project Rose was inspired by her!"

8. Do: Isolated Movements

Spears prctices repetition and isolated movements when it comes to exercise. "I don't like doing too much cardio," she says on Instagram. "My body has muscle memory, cus I use it be [sic] gymnast and I can bulk up …. so I like isolated movement. The key to my workout is repetition, but that gets boring so I have a booklet I've made with all my favorite exercises. I usually wear headphones …. music takes me away ."
