1. She Does WW

Ciara is a WW ambassador, recently revealing to InStyle that she is a fan of the program because it enables her to eat the “good food” that she likes. “And when you're able to have those meals, it just brings you joy and it's game-changing,” she said. “I think the discovery that you can enjoy all the good food that's out there is always kind of eye-opening and enlightening for people because typically you think you have to do these extreme plans, where you're basically only eating grass or you're not eating much besides celery and carrots, you know?”

Ciara makes sure she drinks a ton of water. “I literally drink a gallon and a half a day,” she told People. “It’s amazing how you can work out hard all day, but if you don’t eat right you won’t see the results you want to see and if you don’t drink that water you won’t get the results as fast as you want to get them.”

3. She Trains Like a Boss

Ciara takes exercise very seriously, training with Gunnar Peterson and Decker Davis in the past and sometimes working out multiple times a day. A typical day for her could involve a weight lifting session with Peterson in the morning followed by afternoon high-intensity treadmill workouts that alternated with sprints and light jogs, and 30 to 45 minutes on the Peloton at night. “I would wake up in the morning, breastfeed, eat a small meal, go train, come back home, pump, eat a small meal, breastfeed, eat lunch, and then go train again,” she told InStyle about how she got back in shape after having a baby.

Ciara completes 90-minute workouts with Davis and her NFL star husband Russell Wilson. According to People their workouts involve cross training, Tabata, plyometrics, strength training, and cardio.

5. She Prioritizes Her Heath

Staying healthy is a daily job for Ciara. "What I learned by having that daily commitment—and it doesn’t mean that I go in the gym every day, because you need to let your body recover—but when I started to become more consistent, I realized how much better I felt, and how much easier my workouts became because it wasn’t so aggressive,” she told People. “That’s game-changing on the body and the mind. I feel like I can conquer the world on the days I work out, and it’s very rewarding.”

Ciara is one of the most gorgeous female celebrities, and she has never been afraid to show off her figure, and wear stunning outfits. ("No 1 can do it betta," she once sang.) Her most recent Instagram photo is no exception. Ciara posed in a bright pink one-piece swimsuit, with her hair curled. She captioned the photo, “Love and sun.” Read on to see 6 ways Ciara 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!

1. She Dances

Being a singer, Ciara naturally has to learn a lot of choreography for her live performances and her music videos. And she’s pretty amazing as a dancer. Just take a look at her performing her hit song “Level Up” on The Ellen Show. "Aerobic exercise keeps your muscles strong, which can help you maintain mobility as you get older. Exercise can also lower the risk of falls and injuries from falls in older adults. And it can improve your quality of life," says the Mayo Clinic. "Aerobic exercise also keeps your mind sharp. Regular physical activity may help protect memory, reasoning, judgment and thinking skills (cognitive function) in older adults. It may also improve cognitive function in children and young adults. It can even help prevent the onset of dementia and improve cognition in people with dementia."

2. She’s All About Self-Love

Ciara tells InStyle that a big part of her wellness routine is self-love. “I truly believe that self-love is key,” she says. “And my definition of self-love is taking care of myself.”

3. She Never Gives Up

Ciara tells InStyle that while she has faced a lot of setbacks in her life, she doesn’t let it stop her or get her down. “I’ve heard a lot of noes, and I still hear them to this day,” she says, “But I’m not taking my eyes off the goal. I always say, ‘I am a woman of ambition on a mission, and I’m gonna get it.’ ”

4. She Doesn’t Deprive Herself

When it comes to her diet, Ciara tells InStyle that she likes to eat healthy and try new things. However, she also says that she doesn’t like to deprive herself and avoids extreme diets. "I think the discovery that you can enjoy all the good food that's out there is always kind of eye-opening and enlightening for people because typically you think you have to do these extreme plans, where you're basically only eating grass or you're not eating much besides celery and carrots, you know?" Ciara says that she loves the Weight Watchers program for this reason.

5. She Mixes It Up With Her Personal Trainer

Ciara tells InStyle that her family works with personal trainer, Decker Davis, to keep themselves active. She says that Davis likes to mix up her fitness routine and often challenges her. “I show up and I let him do his thing, honestly, but he's always finding ways to challenge me and throwing curveballs, which keeps it fun and keeps me on my toes. It allows me to never get complacent with the process.”

6. She Loves Squat Jumps

Ciara’s legs and butt are pretty impressive, and she makes sure to do a lot of lower-body workouts to maintain them. She tells InStyle that one of her favorite exercises is squat jumps, saying, “I'm always looking to build my glutes, and a good way to do that is doing burst movements like squat jumps with weights and then without the weights. This fires up your muscles more quickly.”

When Ciara isn’t working out, eating right, raising three kids or recording hit songs, she’s doing something charitable or running a business. So when she takes time to pose in paradise, it’s notable. This weekend Ciara—wife of NFL player Russell Wilson—posted a series of bathing suit photos in front of an infinity pool with an ocean in the background. The caption was a simple wave emoji. How does she stay so fit while keeping so busy? Read on to see 5 ways Ciara 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!

1. This is Her Beauty Routine

“I’ll be honest. I’m a very simple girl. I do wash my face twice a day. I make sure I put on moisturizing sunscreen every day. I like getting microderms from time to time. It’s good to exfoliate your skin. I’m kind of obsessed with seeing blackheads clear out—I’m weird that way. I’d like to believe that a lot of people are like that. More than anything, I wash my face twice a day and moisturize,” she told W Magazine.

2. She Embraced Her Flaws to Feel Confident

“No, I haven’t always been confident. I’ve definitely had to have self talks because before I was grown up, I was one of those girls where my body developed a bit behind. I was really tall, very muscular. I used to walk with my back hunched over a bit because I was so insecure about being tall. My confidence, as far as me accepting myself physically, kind of happened later for me. Once I got older, I realized it’s actually cool to embrace all of these things that I thought were flaws,” she told W.

3. She Eats a Balanced Breakfast

Ciara has said she starts the fay off with fiber-packed oatmeal, fruit and maybe a bit of egg. “Steel-cut oats aren't necessarily healthier than rolled or quick oats, however, they may help you stay fuller longer. This is because steel-cut oats are made from whole oat groats, which is what you get from harvesting oats. Because they are minimally processed, they take longer to digest, which means they won't cause your blood sugar levels to spike,” says Eat This, Not That!

4. She Works Out Daily

"What I learned by having that daily commitment—and it doesn’t mean that I go in the gym every day, because you need to let your body recover—but when I started to become more consistent, I realized how much better I felt, and how much easier my workouts became because it wasn’t so aggressive. That’s game-changing on the body and the mind. I feel like I can conquer the world on the days I work out, and it’s very rewarding," she told People.

5. She Has Done Weight Watchers

"What's been really helpful with the program is that you get to enjoy yourself. It's not an extreme diet plan. It's not like you can't eat the fun foods that I believe bring us happiness or bring us joy...Being from Atlanta and being a southern girl, I've always loved good food, good flavors and good seasoned food," Ciara told People.

Ciara is keeping things hot on social media! The singer shared a bunch of photos on social media from her JUMP video, showing off her sensational body in a sheer bathing suit. “The Beautiful Shades of US,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps.

I do find that level of moderation is best for long-term health and wellness."

"What I learned by having that daily commitment—and it doesn’t mean that I go in the gym every day, because you need to let your body recover—but when I started to become more consistent, I realized how much better I felt, and how much easier my workouts became because it wasn’t so aggressive,” Ciara told People. “That’s game-changing on the body and the mind.

Ballerini revealed her skincare routine and products to WhoWhatWear. She says that skincare is a lot more important to her now. “In the last few years, I’ve switched from just using makeup wipes to actually washing my face,” she says. “I mean, I’m finally acting like I’m in my late 20s now. It’s about time! But yeah, my morning routine is to wash with Skin Pharm’s Gentle Soothing Cleanser ($40), and then I use hyaluronic acid, and then I use Skin Pharm’s Glow Factor Vitamin C Serum ($150), their Eye Sculpt ($75)—which is an eye cream—and then the SPF.”

2. She Double Cleanses

Ballerini tells WhoWhatWear that she makes sure to cleanse her face. She says that she even double cleanses at night. “In the evening, I’ll do a double cleanse. I start with an oil cleanser, and then I follow that with the same gentle cleanser I do in the morning, and then I do the hyaluronic acid again, and then I do Murad’s Nutrient-Charged Water Gel ($62) as the last step.”

3. She Has A Better Approach To Fitness

Ballerini opened up about her approach to wellness and fitness to WhoWhatWear. She says that she has changed her outlook on exercise. “I think my relationship with the word ‘healthy’ is always evolving. I used to work out solely for the way that I would look if I did. But now, I’ve really just transitioned to listening to myself and my body.”

4. She Walks

One of Ballerini’s favorite workouts is going on walks. She tells WhoWhatWear that she picked this up after touring. “I could just feel that my body really needed a break. And to be completely honest with you, ever since then, I have just been walking, and that’s kind of it. I don’t want working out to become an unhealthy crutch for me. So right now, my workout routine is really just walking outside and getting fresh air and vitamin D from the sun, hanging out with my dog. … That’s what feels like a healthy place for me.”

5. She Believes In Balance

Ballerini tells New Beauty that she is all about balance in her life. She says that the pandemic is what caused her to develop this. “I learned so much about myself this past year. I don’t think I realized how much I thrive in balance. I really love being busy. I love always having forward motion and looking to what’s next, but I think I’ve learned that I can do that better when my roots are deep and watered.”
