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.”

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? Read on to see 5 ways Britney Spears stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing-Suit Photos!

Spears is well-known for her dance moves. Whether she is performing on stage or in her music videos, or just dancing at home, it is a big part of Spears’ life, and one of the ways she stays in shape.

Get your fucking hands up !!!!!”

Spears has been tight-lipped in the past when it comes to her diet. However, she recently revealed one of her secrets on Instagram. Spears revealed that she is a fan of using portion control in her diet. In an Instagram post, she wrote, "I chose portion control which is very hard when it comes to Doritos 🙈🤣 !!!!! On a positive note … my body does feel way better now 💪🏼 !!!!"

Spears likes to spend time outside and get some fresh air. Spears shared a funny video to her Instagram of her and her fiance going for a hike, while Asghari had her on his back. She captioned the video, “Man it’s so much fun out here !!!!! Especially when you don’t have to do ANYTHING AT ALL.” She also likes to spend time at the beach, and posted a series of stunning photos of herself lounging in the water.

4. She Repeats Her Exercises

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 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?

Calling out her phone’s inconsistencies is child’s play for Britney Spears.

Spears loves to spend time outside, and does a lot of outdoor activities. She has posted several photos of herself spending time in the great outdoors.

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 is celebrating her (belated) birthday in her bathing suit! The star, who turned 40 in December, shared a video compilation of clips and snaps from the celebratory trip she took with fiancé Sam Asghari to Cabo San Lucas. “Throwback of my birthday !!! They wrote my name in the sand … such a cool day” the popstar captioned her post. Britney recently shaped up with the help of her fitness fueled partner. In an Instagram video shared by the singer in the spring, she revealed some of the ways she got into great shape. “In the past two weeks I've said that's it ... I have got to get in shape considering my boyfriend's body is hotter than hot,” she wrote.

1. She Started Running

If you want a body like Britney, lace up your sneakers and hit the pavement. “I run a lot,” Britney reveals in her post. Harvard Health maintains that a 155 pound person running at 10 MPH can burn a whopping 562 calories in 30 minutes. And, per science, it can help you build muscle, lower your risk of heart disease, improve your sleep, and may promote longevity.

2. She Started to Eat “Clean”

Per Britney she tries to “eat clean” and be “mindful” with her food. What is clean eating, exactly? It basically refers to eating fresh, unprocessed, and wholesome foods. The Mediterranean Diet, consistently ranked the best diet in the world, is a good example of a clean diet.

3. She Cheats

Britney allows herself to indulge on occasion, “like last night when I ate a container of peanuts,” she wrote in her most. Per science, a weekly "cheat meal" isn’t a bad idea, and can even 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. A 2017 study published in the International Journal of Obesity reported that dieters who took a two-week break from their low-calorie meal plan were more successful in terms of weight loss than those who dieted consistently.

4. She Focuses on Strength

Britney isn’t trying to be skinny. In fact, after losing a lot of weight she revealed that she would rather be strong. “And then it hit me ... I might look better but I felt too vulnerable in my skin being this small,” she explained, adding that she “didn't like it.”

5. She Boxes

Britney started boxing to build muscle. “I started boxing so now I feel stronger too,” she admitted. Harvard Health promotes the fighting exercise as a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance as well as increase alertness.
