1. She Focuses on Moderation and Balance

Ciara approaches diet with moderation. "All in all, my family does pretty well on making good health choices," she told Eating Well.

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

2. She Follows the WW Diet

In an Instagram video, Ciara gave fans a glimpse of what she eats in a day while on her WW diet. Meals include crab benedict for breakfast and plantain chips and guacamole for a snack. “When my schedule is crazy, I know I can rely on the @WW app to keep me grounded and feeling my best #wwpartner I love yummy food and @WW allows me to dig into all my favorite meals without feeling restricted. It's all about eating good and feeling good!” she captioned the post.

3. She Drinks a Lot of Water

Ciara prioritizes hydration. “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.”

4. She Trains Hard

Ciara spends a lot of time exercising and has trained with Gunnar Peterson and Decker Davis. Sometimes she works out multiple times a day. An average training session with Peterson starts with a weight lifting session followed by afternoon high-intensity treadmill workouts that alternated with sprints and light jogs. She will follow that with 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 into shape after having a baby.

5. She Looks at Health As a “Daily Commitment”

"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. I feel like I can conquer the world on the days I work out, and it’s very rewarding.”

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.

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

"Vitamin D isn't naturally found in many foods, but you can get it from fortified milk, fortified cereal, and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. Your body also makes vitamin D when direct sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin (calciferol)," says the Mayo Clinic. "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."

5. She Likes the Beach

"Swimming can improve mood in both men and women. For people with fibromyalgia, swimming can decrease anxiety, and exercise therapy in warm water can decrease depression and improve mood. 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.

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

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.”
