In her most recent interview about her health, wellness, and diet secrets, Ciara revealed that she like to fight. “I like boxing when I’m trying to figure things out,” she told Women’s Health in November 2022. “That’s a part of [my] ‘therapy’—exercise.” Fitness boxing offers other health benefits, both mental and physical, “because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital tells Harvard Health."You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs.”

2. She Does Special Ab Work

“I’ve accepted that my body will never be what it used to be,” Ciara, mother-of-three, tells the publication. “I have diastasis recti, which is when your ab muscles split after birth,” she says. “When I learned this, it was game-changing because you can train wrong for your abs. I had to educate myself on that and learn to retrain my abs.”

3. She Works Out 5 Times a Week Doing Plyometrics, Weights, and Cardio

Ciara works with a trainer, usually five days a week. “When I train, it’s a combination of plyometric workouts mixed with weights and cardio as well, because I dance. The cardio conditioning is really important for me, especially being here in Denver,” she says. “It’s another beast, with the altitude.”

On the other days, Ciara rides her Peloton. “I love Ally Love. She’s my favorite.” The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, both indoor and out, is a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

5. Her Diet Is All About “Balance”

“It’s really about balance,” Ciara says about her diet. She usually starts her day with eggs with fruit, a small cup of ice-cold decaf coffee or a frappé. For a mid-morning snack, she will grab a handful of almonds and cashews. For lunch, she likes to eat grilled chicken, broccoli, and a sweet potato. After another small snack, for dinner she will have veggies with seafood.

6. She Hydrates

Ciara drinks a gallon of water a day for hydration. “That’s kind of my flow,” she says. According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.

7. She Gives Herself “Grace”

“I’ve really worked on committing to working out and eating as a lifestyle,” Ciara says about not being too hard on herself with her diet and fitness. “And then I have moments where I give myself grace. I haven’t worked out this week, because I’ve been traveling up and down, taking the kids to school, doing interviews. It’s been so much going on that I’m like, Let’s not stress. But tomorrow, we’re back in, we’re back outside, and we’re back in the gym.”

"The amount of vitamin D your skin makes depends on many factors, including the time of day, season, latitude and your skin pigmentation. Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, vitamin D production might decrease or be completely absent during the winter months. Sunscreen, while important to prevent skin cancer, also can decrease vitamin D production."

Water-based exercise can improve the health of pregnant people and has a positive effect on the pregnant person’s mental health. Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections," says the CDC.

It’s easy to make, it’s not like oh, I have a huge list of things I do. But I am conscious about the decisions I make for myself.
