1. She Doesn’t Love Working Out But Knows That’s What it Takes

“Gonna be honest … I hate working out. I dread it,” she wrote once. “I’m one of those girls that watches the clock and counts down to the last second when I can be done. I wish I enjoyed it. I wish I was a big workout junkie, but the truth is I just don’t! With that being said … I do know that in order to achieve the strong body that I want to have and maintain I MUST put the hard work into it.”

2. ”Everything in Moderation”

“My health philosophy is everything in moderation. I’ve always practiced a healthy lifestyle. I’m not a big fan of ‘let’s do it for a week’ type stuff. My family is very healthy. We watch what we eat and it makes a huge difference. I cook all the time, we rarely go out to eat. And when we go to the grocery store, we try to choose foods that are organic and dye-free,” she told Parade.

3. Here’s Her Take on Food

“I have coffee first thing in the morning—I drink a lot of coffee! When I get hungry I’ll have a slice of toast with salted butter. For lunch I’ll make something, I make a lot of turkey chili or lentil soup this time of year. In the spring and summer, it’s a chicken salad. I usually always cook dinner. Last night I made a big family meal of bolognese with fresh arugula salad with homemade dressing and tomatoes,” she told Parade.

4. She Had Some Insecurities After Giving Birth

“I’ll be honest I still get insecure when I put a swimsuit on sometimes because of how much loose skin I have from my pregnancies,” she began. “I worked really hard to lose all of my baby weight. Even gaining 55 pounds with my first. It’s no wonder I have so much loose skin two out of the three babies were 9 pounds ? and I was one of those lucky ducks who didn’t get one stretch mark because genetically I have super elastic skin but because of my big babies and gaining so much I was left with extremely loose skin,” Jessie continued.

5. She Does Weight Based Workouts

“To maintain her toned physique, Decker relies on weight-based workouts. To begin her routine, she starts with 30 seconds of jump rope, high-knee running, ankle grabs, high kicks, lunges and lateral lunges, spinal rotations, and tension squats,” reports our sister site Eat This, Not That!

6. She Can Make Her Muscles Pop

Decker changes up her diet depending on her goals. “I’ve got tons of muscle from working out and lifting so hard for the past year, but I felt like I couldn’t see enough definition, so I wanted to cut some calories in some places just to see those muscles pop!” she said once.

7. She’s Been Learning About Nutrition

“I always want to educate myself on new studies and new things that come around. Recently I’ve learned about food colors and dyes, and how your body can’t process or break them down. But I’m big on being intuitive and paying attention to what works and what doesn’t work. For example, when I eat ground beef, it doesn’t really agree with me, but my body is just fine with a pork chop. As far as food goes and diet, everything in moderation. You can eat a chocolate chip cookie and have bread when it’s in your bread basket. Food is conversation, and the heart of the home in my opinion,” she told Parade.

Jessie James Decker is all about having a balanced, healthy lifestyle—but also having fun. The singer posted a photo of herself in a lime green bathing suit, sipping on some iced tea (she never drinks soda!). Decker joked about her lack of swimming skills via an Instagram Q&A, saying the best she can do is doggy paddle. So how does the 34-year-old mother of three stay so fit?

1. She Prioritizes Workouts

Whether she is at home or on the road, Decker never misses a workout. “Carve out 30 to 45 minutes of time. At the end of the day, 45-minutes is really not that much of your time,” she tells Country Music Television. “I don’t love the excuses people provide, ‘I don’t have time to work out,’ or ‘I don’t need it.’ You have time to get a good workout in. Just do it. There are YouTube videos that I will watch. There’s such a variety.”

2. She Loves Wine

Decker enjoys drinking wine with her former-NFL husband, Eric Decker. “We like to start off with a really good Prosecco, just to kind of start off the night,” she says. “Then I like to transition into a pinot and maybe finish off the rest of the evening with a really good Cabernet Sauvignon. We really love a glass from this company called Darioush. It's our favorite red wine, and it’s local around here [Napa valley] as well. We love this Palagetto, which is an Italian wine from Tuscany that we fell in love with…so a few bottles of those.”

3. She Likes Her Toast

Decker shared her daily diet plan with her fans, and one thing she always has for lunch is two slices of buttered toast. “You got to do what works for you & your body, but I’m constantly asked to share some of my dieting and workout tips, and this is one of them!” she says. “Y’all know I’m an eater and love it enjoy! I have found eating two slices of toast fills me up midday! Giving up bread & carbs is just not a solution for me. So it definitely fulfills that bread need.”

4. She Doesn’t Eat After 6.30pm

Decker stops eating at 630pm until she has breakfast the next morning.“The benefit of an early dinner has to do with the fact that as the day winds down, the body needs less food for energy and should be entering a fasting state," says Rachel Swanson, MS, LDN. "Capping your intake more than two hours before bed allows for an extended overnight fasting window to take place—the essential downtime your body needs to facilitate detoxification and cellular repair."

5. She Focuses on Family

Decker is thrilled to have her husband and children with her when she goes on tour. “It’s been amazing! I feel like if I don’t have my kids with me, I don’t know if I would enjoy it as much.” she says. “Music and performing are my number one thing in life, but my kids and my family are more important than anything. So, if I don’t have them with me, I’m just not going to enjoy myself. I am even in a better mood, and I can do what I love.”

Jessie James Decker spent her holiday weekend heating up Cancun with her family. The country singer and fashion mogul flaunted her rock hard body in a brown two-piece swimsuit in a variety of photos shared to her Instagram account. “A week of fun in the sun with my crew,” she captioned the gallery. “We had a ball but I have to say I got butterflies on the plane back thinking about putting up the tree.” How does the 33-year-old keep herself so fit?

"I work out 3 to 4 times a week and they pretty much look like this with certain variations whether we're doing more upper body or lower body," she explained.

2. She Intermittently Fasts, Unofficially

Jessie is a fan of intermittent fasting, but she doesn’t call it that. She explained to Women’s Health that her eating method is very similar to a 16:8 fasting routine. "I eat what I want to eat within that time frame but don't overdo it," she explained. "The timing really is important to me."

3. Her Diet Is Protein Packed

In order to fuel her workouts, Jessie consumes a lot of protein. When she eats breakfast it will be a bowl of oatmeal or toast and coffee with cream. After her workout, she will sip on a protein shake. "For lunch, I will have 4 to 6 ounces chicken salad or chicken over rice," she explained on Instagram. "For dinner, I will either have a lean red meat, like flank steak with vegetables, chili from my book, or the same kind of thing—chicken and rice vegetables or my fit-enchiladas from my first book.”

4. She Loves Frozen Meals From Trader Joes

Jessie always keeps frozen meals from Trader Joes on hand. "They are so good if I don't have time to make myself lunch," she told Women’s Health. "I get the Indian curry or butter chicken and rice meals, and they are so delicious and filling. I have stashes of them in the freezer in the garage. I never want to run out."

Decker’s husband, Eric Decker, is a player in the NFL. You’d think that that means that they would do a lot of couple’s workouts together. However, you’d be wrong. In an interview with Taste of Country, Decker says that she avoids working out with her husband. “We tried, but he annoys me when he works out,” she explains. “He thinks he knows everything. I feel like, whatever I’m doing, it works for me.”

2. She Sets Goals

Last year, Decker revealed on Instagram that she sets a lot of goals when it comes to her fitness. “The top of this year I decided to really step it up in the gym,” she said. “I know my core will probably never be as strong as it used to be, but damn it I’m gonna try! I have goals and I’m not stopping until I’m there.”

3. She Does Walking and Stair-Climbing Exercises

In the same Instagram post, Decker revealed that the most important part of fitness and wellness for her was not working out. She says that she puts more thought and effort into her daily diet, and tries to watch what she eats. “The biggest factor is watching what I EAT and making sure whatever I’m putting in my body is going to make me feel strong and energized.”

5. She Believes In Moderation

Decker tells Women’s Health that she keeps her diet pretty healthy. However, she does also believe in indulging at times, and keeps a balanced diet. “There are some weeks when I’m following more of a strict diet because I have something coming up,” she said. “But, you know, for the most part, I’m always enjoying food and I always say ‘everything in moderation’ on a day-to-day basis.”
