1. She Overcomes Challenges One Step at a Time

When it comes to workouts, she takes things little by little. Think of training for a marathon, and starting with running a 5k. “We overcame it by tackling one hill at a time,” her onetime trainer PMAC said, referring to Dua jogging up Primrose Hill in north London. “So instead of saying we’re running up five (which is typical with all of my clients), we’d do one at a time, and she managed it.”

2. Yoga Is A Daily Routine

She enjoys high intensity interval training to stay in shape in addition to yoga for strength training and muscle building. She even stated that yoga is a daily ritual for her, spending each day practicing how to quiet her mind and channel her muscles to build strength. Try a child's pose. "In a child's pose, you kneel and sit on your knees. Lean forward, bringing your arms in front of you with your palms down, and keeping your buttocks on your heels. Rest your forehead on the floor. Bring your arms next to your legs with palms facing up. Inhale and exhale for at least eight breaths," says St. Clair Health.

3. She Knows The Importance of Rest

Napping and getting enough sleep is so important. She listens to her body and lets herself rest and recover when necessary. “For a busy individual like Dua, I suggested naps to help her body recover,” PMAC said. "If you train too much, your body won’t work, so rest is a non-negotiable."

4. She Warms Up Her Body

Dua has had the importance of warming up engrained in her since working with PMAC. “We’d spend 10 minutes before every session to make sure her joints and muscles were ready,” PMAC explains. Warm ups will also improve your mobility which, in turn, could help you achieve your goals sooner.

5. She Enjoys HIIT Workouts

Dua loves the efficiency of HIIT sessions. “It’s so quick, it’s over before it’s even started!” she says. Dua and PMAC like to include mountain climbers, burpees, jumping jacks and more into her routine. "Most endurance workouts, such as walking, running, or stair-climbing—are performed at a moderate intensity, or an exertion level of 5-6 on a scale of 0-10. High-intensity intervals are done at an exertion level of 7 or higher, and are typically sustained for 30 seconds to 3 minutes, although they can be as short as 8-10 seconds or as long as 5 minutes; the higher the intensity, the shorter the speed interval. Recovery intervals are equal to or longer than the speed intervals," says ACE Fitness.

Dua Lipa is currently on her Future Nostalgia tour. She’s making sure to enjoy the local attractions of each tour stop she attends. While getting ready for her Auckland show, Lipa enjoyed a day by the beach, and shared highlights on Instagram. In them, Lipa enjoyed a day on a boat. She wore an all gold outfit, including pants, wrap, and bathing suit top. She captioned the post, “Perfect day on Waiheke Island. Auckland I’m so excited to see you tomorrow night for our back 2 back shows as the #FutureNostalgiaTour continues!!!!” (In another, she was stepping into a bath.) How does she stay so fit?

1. She Removes Her Makeup

Lipa has amazing skin. She revealed some of her tips to Vogue. She says that she always remembers to take makeup off. “I have to take my make-up off. It’s a very rare occasion where I just fall asleep with it on. When I was younger I never used to care. I was the kind of person that would just wash my face with soap and call it a day. But when I turned 18, I started really taking care of my skin and being really gentle. Now I use a lot of serums: I have one that I put on before I go to bed, and a different one for the morning that I use after a skin cleanser to take off any make-up.”

2. She Gets Facials

Lipa likes to get treatments done on her face. Specifically, she likes to have facials done. “I’ve found some good facialists in different places that people have recommended. I don’t have that much time to go so it’ll be whenever I get the chance, usually once every couple of months.”

3. She Makes Time To Workout

Lipa has a pretty busy schedule. But she still prioritizes working out. She tells ELLE that she makes time for quick workouts each morning. “I exercise five days a week in the morning. When I’m touring, I use Class Pass, or it ends up being a 15-minute workout in my hotel room.”

4. She Walks Her Dog

Lipa went through her day in an interview with Refinery29. She says that one thing she does to stay in shape is go on walks with her dogs. “I got really lucky that he and I have the same sleep schedule,” she says. “If I need to catch a couple extra hours of sleep he’s right there with me, but on days when I’m up bright and early, he’s ready for his morning walk. Our walks are the perfect way to get my mind right for the day ahead. I usually grab a bottle of Evian — gotta stay hydrated — and his leash and we head out for a stroll around the neighborhood. While walking, I make a mental list of my intentions for the day.”

5. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Lipa tells Marie Claire that she likes to do a variety of different workouts to stay in shape. “When I have a tiny bit more time on my side I love mixing up lots of different training, finding different workouts in whatever city I’m in, whether it’s yoga, Pilates, boxing or spinning. Whatever it is, I try to change it up every day to keep things interesting. When you’re on a tour bus, every day and every place is different, so you never know what you’re going to find. That’s always one way to keep it interesting.”

Dua Lipa is known for her work with the brand Versace. In her recent Instagram post, she modeled a swimsuit from the line. In the photos, Lipa posed in a black swimsuit with white polka dots and different colored butterflies. Her impressive figure was on display in the post. Lipa captioned the post, “My summer outfit until further notice.” How does she stay so fit?

1. She Has Makeup Free Days

In late 2016, Lipa revealed some of her beauty secrets in an interview with Allure. She says that having days where she isn’t wearing makeup is important. “Off stage, I try not to not wear makeup as much as I can. I need to give my skin a break. I guess it was always important for me to take my makeup off before bed, but now, it’s like to a whole ‘nother level.

2. She Travels With Skincare Products

Lipa does a lot of traveling, and she makes sure to take skincare products with her on the road. “I’m traveling so much, and my skin gets so tired, so anything I can take like eye cream, face cream, face mist, oils—just anything to keep my skin moisturized because flying dries it out. Traveling is the worst for skin, and it shows instantly. Once you’re working non-stop, you can instantly see it.”

3. She Wants To Be A Role Model

Being in the public eye, Lipa has a lot of people looking up to her. She tells Allure that she wants to inspire others. “If you can be a role model doing what you do....For me, my aim is to just be as good as possible. If people do look up to me, I have to set the best example I can. I guess in a way that makes me the best version of me when it’s about someone else as well. Especially for ‘Blow Your Mind’, the whole video is a campaign for niceness. It’s like the girl gang that everyone can be a part of.”

4. She Uses A Toothbrush On Her Skin

Lipa tells Allure that she has a unique beauty tip. “I use a toothbrush for loads of different things. Well, I don’t use the same toothbrush for loads of different things. I have a couple. I use a toothbrush on my lips as a lip scrub, occasionally I use a toothbrush with some dark eye shadow on my eye brows if I want to fill them in. And if I want a really thick, textured look with mascara, I put one on my lashes, as well. At home [in London], I discovered it after running out of makeup supplies and trying to make do with what I have. Now, I still use it.”

5. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Lipa shared some of her favorite workouts in an interview with Refinery29. She says that she does a lot of different things to stay in shape. “Whether it’s on Zoom, doing a workout with my friend Ella in L.A. who leads a kickass workout class called Sculpt With Ella, or with my best friend Bunny who comes over to train me on days when I’m feeling super lazy and need someone to get me motivated, getting physical really starts my day off right. I also love to do yoga, Pilates, or strength training. I like to leave my cardio workout to dancing.”

Dua Lipa appeared last night on Late Show With Stephen Colbert and told the story of how she got the call from Elton John to record their hit single “Cold Heart,” which is a mashup inspired by “Rocket Man” and “Sacrifice,” featuring a vocal from Dua. When the legend rang her up, “I was in my bikini and a cowboy hat,” she said with a laugh. Read on to hear the whole story and see what Lipa was wearing—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. Lipa Said Elton Called Her When She Was Wearing a Cowboy Hat and Bikini

“It was kind of funny actually,” said Lipa. “Now, Elton and I we've done a couple things together. I also performed with him for his AIDS foundation, for the Oscars opening. And afterwards we had dinner in LA and then literally a couple days later, I've started writing for my new album. And, I was hanging out by the pool before going to do some writing and all of a sudden my phone rings and it's a FaceTime from Elton and his husband, David—casual." “As you do,” said Colbert. Lipa continued: “I mean, it's not that casual. I don't think it's casual. I was in my bikini and a cowboy hat. But I wouldn't have it any other way. It was perfect. And, they were just like, you know, we have this idea….” Read on....

2. Lipa Said It Was Meant to Be

“We'd love to have you on this song,” they told Lipa. “And immediately I was like, are you joking? I was like, of course, you know, I'd love to. ‘No, no, no, you have to listen to it first….We're gonna send it to you. And then afterwards, you let us know if you wanna do the song.’ And knowing already what I was gonna say. I'm like, absolutely. So I heard the song and it was a remix that PNAU did of "Rocket Man" and "Sacrifice." And immediately, I mean, I couldn't believe it. And it's, it's kind of crazy because I feel like I manifested this in a way.”

3. Lipa Said "Rocket Man" is Her Driving Song

“'Rocket Man' is my driving song. It's my shower song. It's song that I sing along to myself really,” she said. “I like to sing along to it. I love the song I do too. And so when I got asked to sing that part, I was like, okay, this is, it was just meant to be.” “Elton I'm available too,” said Colbert. “I also know the lyrics to 'Rocket Man.'”

4. She Works Out Early in the Morning

How does she stay so fit? She works out early in the morning. “The Department of Health and Human Services recommends that healthy adults include aerobic activity and strength training in their fitness plans, specifically:

• At least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or an equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous aerobic activity
• Strength training exercises of all the major muscle groups at least twice a week,” says the Mayo Clinic, which adds: “Regular exercise can help you control your weight, reduce your risk of heart disease and certain cancers, and strengthen your bones and muscles.”

5. She Eats Right, Most of the Time

"I try and stay as healthy as possible whenever I can," she told The Urban List. “ I love cooking and being surrounded by my favorite people, though I also love ordering from the fantastic restaurants in my area — especially as there’s no indoor seating at the moment due to the pandemic. With all the running around I do for work, it’s nice to come home, slow down, and connect with the food that nourishes my body and life,” she told Refinery29.

Singer Dua Lipa often shows off her flat abs and toned legs on Instagram, and this Memorial Day is no exception.
