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.”

Ciara and Russell Wilson are the definition of a power couple. They’re both extremely successful: Wilson is a NFL legend (currently quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks), Ciara is an iconic singer who's hit the Billboard charts. They’re both gorgeous and in shape. And they’re still in love with each other, and raising their kids together beautifully. "Proud of you Baby @DangeRussWilson! 9x Pro Bowler! You continually inspire me! #RareBreed #3 #MCM #MCE," Ciara captioned a photo of the two of them enjoying a beach day. How do they stay so fit?

1. Russell Is Conscious About What He Eats

Being an athlete, Wilson naturally has to pay attention to what he eats, and try to eat as healthy as he can. However, his career is not the only reason he is conscious about his diet. Wilson says to ESPN, "I think it's critical. It allows you to wake up feeling good, feeling strong. It allows you to excel throughout the day and have tons of strength and energy. So I think it's really important for me. And I love food. I'm from the South, Virginia. So for me, I have to be really conscientious of what I eat. And also, my dad had diabetes. So I try to really pay attention to what I eat and try to do a really good job of that."

2. Russell Likes To Run

Wilson tells ESPN that he does a lot of running in order to stay in shape, and practice for all the running he has to do in a game. "I normally run a lot in practice and after practice, the off days and everything like that.”

3. Ciara Stays Motivated To Workout

Ciara says to InStyle that she tries to workout pretty regularly, but she admits that this can be difficult for her to do. She says that she stays motivated to exercise and that her post-workout feelings are a big motivation for her. “There are definitely times where I’m like, OK, here we go. Sometimes we don’t want to do what we need to do, but what we need to do is often the best thing for us. Pushing through is what makes you feel the most proud after a good workout, and after I finish working out, it feels like I conquered the world. This feeling helps me get going for the day.”

4. Ciara Loves Peleton Classes

Ciara tells InStyle that her favorite form of cardio is bike riding, specifically Peloton sessions. “I hop on my Peloton Bike for a 30 to 45 minute session with my girl Ally Love. She's one of my favorite instructors on their streaming classes. Riding my bike was huge for me when I was losing my baby weight. Combined with working with my trainer, I was doing three workouts a day which is pretty aggressive.”

5. Ciara Loves To Mix It Up

Ciara tells InStyle that she likes to mix it up with her personal trainer, and that this helps her stay interested in working out. “For me, it’s about changing the routine because I don’t like doing the same thing over and over again.”

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 tells Shape that her trainer, Gunnar Peterson, likes to do workouts with her that are influenced by boxing, and that hit multiple parts of her body. “Gunnar puts me through an hour-long plyometric cardio circuit that always includes boxing elements. What's amazing is that you're getting three-in-one training: It's hitting your muscles; it's a cardiovascular workout; and it's a mental exercise. You have to be superfocused when you're boxing. After I've done a few rounds, I feel as if I can conquer the world."

3. She Stays Hydrated

When Ciara wants to lose weight, or is doing an intense training regime, she makes sure to stay hydrated. “I also believe that drinking tons of water and flushing out your system is crucial for training,” she says to Shape. “It really helped me drop the weight.
