Lipa tells Marie Claire that she’s always changing up her exercises. "Whatever it is, I try to change it up every day to keep things interesting.” Lipa also says that her busy schedule impacts her workout choices, “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."

4. She Snacks On Protein Rich Foods

Lipa makes sure to get enough protein, and one way she does so is by eating protein-rich snacks. Lipa will usually eat these snacks before she goes on stage for a performance. She tells Women’s Health that before she goes onstage she eats, “Bananas and cashew butter.”

5. She Dances

Lipa has been made fun of for her dancing and choreography in the past. However, when performing songs from her second album Future Nostalgia, fans noticed that Lipa’s dancing had improved, and that her choreography had gotten harder and more intense. Lipa describes her performances to Vogue saying “I sweat quite a lot, but if the makeup runs, the makeup runs! I don’t want anything to be perfect.”

6. She Indulges Once In A While

Lipa isn’t afraid to treat herself once in a while, and says that she believes in moderation. “I try and stay as healthy as possible whenever I can,” she says to The Urban List. “I’m never one to stop myself having naughty treats, but I try and limit it to days when I’m not as busy, because if I do eat a donut it usually puts me in a food coma!”

7. She Focuses Her Core

Lipa is known for her flat stomach, which she has for a reason. Lipa says that she does a lot of exercises that target the core. She says to The Urban List, “I think different variations of crunches like bicycle crunches are good. Leg raises are also great unless my back hurts. Planks are good although almost certainly my least favourite!”

Singer Dua Lipa is currently touring the world on her Future Nostalgia tour. Despite her busy schedule, she’s still making time for herself. Lipa posted a series of photos and videos on Instagram of some of the activities she’s been doing on tour. These include getting ice cream, seeing friends, and spending a day by the pool. In two of the photos, Lipa posed in a black bathing suit. Lipa captioned the post, “Olive oil ice cream for the win,” referencing the first photo. How does she stay so fit?

1. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Lipa has impressive skin, and she makes sure that she has an intricate skincare routine. She broke down her biggest skincare tips to Stylista, saying, “I’m quite methodical. I wash my make-up off every night with a rosehip cleansing oil by Pai, then use a cream cleanser and apply a probiotic serum and face cream by Esse. In the mornings, I use the cream cleanser again followed by a niacinamide serum from a dermatological brand called Synergy, then moisturiser and SPF.”

2. She Moved To London On Her Own

Lipa has a strong work ethic and she says that this started when she was young. She revealed to Stylista that she moved to London on her own, when she was a teenager. Lipa says that the experience gave her the work ethic and the idea of what it takes to be a singer. “That whole experience shaped me and helped me so much with my confidence,” she says. “It made me realise I had to do everything on my own. My parents were far away and it taught me a lot about what I wanted, what I needed and how hard I had to work to get to where I wanted to be. Being alone helped me not be afraid to get out and talk to people and get into the rooms I wanted to be in.”

3. She’s True To Herself

Lipa is all about being true to herself, and being proud of the work she’s done. She says that this is one of the reasons that she’s had so much success. “I think it’s about being yourself,” she says to Stylista. “Being proud of the things you put your name to, and making sure that what you put out is coming from you and isn’t for the sake of trying to get on the radio."

4. She Started A Book Club With Her Friends

Lipa revealed to Stylista that she is an avid reader. However, her busy schedule doesn't always allow her to read, or see her friends. She says that she came up with a solution to these problems. “I recently decided to start a book club with my friends. We weren’t meeting up because we were all busy, so we decided to give ourselves an excuse to have dinner together regularly.”

5. She Does Quick Workouts In The Mornings

Lipa has a busy schedule, but she still makes time to work out. She tells Marie Claire that her secret to staying in shape is doing a quick workout in the mornings, before she starts her day. “I try and work out as much as I can. It’s such a busy lifestyle I feel like I need to try and do something for myself every day. I love doing something that’s really fast and quick, like a 15-minute HIIT session which I can do before I start my day. If I’ve got a really early call time I don’t want to be waking up hours before I need to, to go and do a workout. So a high intensity workout, shower, breakfast, and I’m on my way.”

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.

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....

“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.”

"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.

Dua Lipa used to get made fun of on social media for her dancing.“There were so many things, especially when you start out, like a video of me dancing and they’re like, ‘Ah well, she has no stage presence’—but they’d never been to one of my shows, they’d never seen me perform.They would take one small snippet and run with it and it would become a whole thing,” she told Attitude. However, when performing songs from her album Future Nostalgia, fans noticed that Lipa’s dancing had improved greatly, and that her choreography had gotten a lot more difficult. Lipa said those nasty comments made her want to work harder and improve her dancing. "It was a tough time. But I’m also so grateful for the experience because I became so much stronger. I became so much more confident after that. Now I know what I’m good at; I know how to be good at what I do; [and] I know how much work it takes to be good at what I do.”

7. She Made A Workout Video To Her Song “Physical”

Dua Lipa’s second single from her album Future Nostalgia is called “Physical.” And she decided to make a workout video for that song, channelling Olivia Newton-John and inspired by ‘80s workout classes. According to a study, high-tempo songs like “Physical” can make working out a lot easier. “We found that listening to high-tempo music while exercising resulted in the highest heart rate and lowest perceived exertion compared with not listening to music," says Professor Luca P. Ardigò of the University of Verona. “This means that the exercise seemed like less effort, but it was more beneficial in terms of enhancing physical fitness.”

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.

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.”
