4. She Does Yoga

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.

Britney Spears and her fiancé, Sam Asghari, just went on vacation to celebrate Asghari’s birthday, and they're inviting you to come along (virtually). Spears has been posting several photos and videos on Instagram of their vacation as a keepsake. Yesterday, she just posted a highlight video of their trip, which features incredible scenery, their adorable new puppy, and Spears in different bathing suits. She captioned the video, “Our amazing time here!” How does she stay so fit?

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.”

“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.”
