Jessie J in Bathing Suit Says "Love and Live"

Singer Jessie J is enjoying her birthday with a day by the lake. And she’s clearly having a ton of fun. She posted a video on Instagram of the festivities, which included her going for a swim in the lake. “Falling into 34 years like… 😂🌊,” she captioned it. “33 wasn’t my favourite BUT man did it teach me so much. Perspective was the biggest gift for me this year. To live harder through the pain. To laugh louder through the grief. To let go and simply be my awkward, sarcastic, honest, goofball, cooking singing loud … self. To LOVE and to LIVE. I am here and I am alive. THAT is the biggest gift. 🤍🙏🏻 Happy Mother’s Day to anyone grieving or celebrating today. Whatever you are feeling / experiencing my love is with you. 🫂🤍 Thank you to everyone who continues to guide me and love me through this life. I love you so much. PS. This lake was ice water 🥲” How does she stay so fit?

1. She Gave Up Sugar

I am awake, I am sleeping better, my anxiety is better, I just feel brighter in myself. My skin has definitely improved. My cellulite has improved. There is no negative about quitting sugar.”

In her Huffington Post interview, Jessie was asked what the best piece of advice she received to help her stay healthy. She answered, “My mom once said to me, ‘You are all you exist of so make it the best version you can be.’” Jessie says that she is motivated to stay healthy for her future. “For me, I want to be able to do my shows and have a day off and be able to run around the park with my nieces and nephews and then go and see my friends at night. We only have these bodies, so we should take care of them.”

Jessie J revealed in an interview with Shape Magazine that she was inspired to start working out after doing her first major tour. She says that working out had helped with her career, and her personal life. “I did a U.K. arena tour in 2012; that's when I started working out. I found that my immune system was better and I wasn't getting sick, I looked better, my clothes fit better, my heart was better, my skin was better, and I just felt better. I attracted nicer people because I was nicer and happier, and more inspired. It really affects your mood. There are some grumpy people I just want to take to a fitness class, so they can shake out some of the sad sweat!"

4. She Listens To Music When She Works Out

Everyone has to find some things that encourage them to workout. For Jessie, it’s unsurprisingly, music. She tells Shape, “You need to combine movement with something you love. I wouldn't do all that for an hour and a half at the gym. You need to almost distract yourself, which is why music for me is such a big part of my workout. So actually this morning in the hotel gym I was like, 'Why am I not into my workout this morning?' It's because the news was on. I'll watch the news, but I can't work out very well without music.'"

5. She Doesn’t Need The Gym To Workout

Most people think that they need a gym to workout, however, Jessie is not one of those people. She tells Shape that she does a lot of workouts at home, or likes to go outside and exercise. "I travel everywhere with a foam roller, plus protein water, my vegan protein powder, and a resistance band. Usually there's a gym everywhere I go, or I can just go work out outside. I think it's important to educate yourself on how you can work out without any machinery."
