In a video interview with PopSugar, with her trainer Jeanette Jenkins, Rowland was asked about her diet. The singer responded that she doesn’t have a specific diet, and she just tries to eat healthy and take care of herself. “I never like to say ‘diet’,” Rowland said. “I like to say ‘eating clean’, and you know, listening to your body, and knowing what your body responds to.” Rowland says that she likes to eat greens and fish, and avoids heavy food.

2. She Enjoys Working Out

Rowland tells HollywoodLife.com that one of her workout secrets is that she actually loves to exercise. “I like working out,” she said. “I genuinely love working out. I love the way I feel when I’m working out. I love the fact that I’m taking the time to pour back into myself. Workouts for me are a time for [myself] and I get to pour back into myself and I love that.”

3. She Loves Pilates

One of Rowland’s favorite ways to exercise is by doing Pilates. In fact, she even has her own Pilates DVD. Rowland told Health that Pilates helped her lose the weight she gained from pregnancy. “For keeping my abs together, basically after I had my son it was super tough on my body. I definitely do Pilates. It just keeps the core tight, brings the abs in, the breathing, it’s just fantastic."

4. She’s Comfortable With Her Body

Rowland tells Health that, while she hasn’t always been comfortable with her body, she’s learned to accept herself, no matter what she looks like. “I stay body positive by taking care of my body and just being comfortable with the body that God gave me and that continues to evolve," says Rowland. "How I became comfortable with my body is understanding that no one looks like me. I kept comparing myself to so many other women who didn’t look like me, and I had to embrace me and all my flaws."

5. She Makes Time For Herself

Despite her busy schedule, Rowland tells Health that she prioritizes her me-time. "I practice self care by meditating, I practice self care by spending days by myself sometimes, even if I'm just in the shower. I just try to take time for me."

1. She Adjusts Her Posture

Jones revealed a lot of her health and wellness secrets to Shape, where she revealed that she is very conscious of her back and her posture. Jones says that being a mom is what caused her to first notice her bad posture. “After I had my son, Xander, I wanted to feel strong because my body had changed so much. As he got bigger and I was hauling around a 20- or 30-pound toddler, my lower back gave out and I saw my shoulders starting to curl and hunch. I wanted to do something for my posture and core strength.” Jones says that she was inspired to do workouts that help correct her posture. “Two or three years ago I started taking barre classes.”

2. She Does Pilates

Another workout Jones does to correct her posture is Pilates. She says to Shape, “I took regular private Pilates lessons. Then a friend told me about Lagree Pilates. I’ve been doing it two to four times a week for the past year now, and I’ve gained weight because I’ve put on muscle. I’ve gone up a size in clothes, but I feel like I look better."

3. She Doesn’t Deprive Herself

When it comes to her diet, Jones says that she doesn’t deprive herself of any cravings or her favorite foods. “I don’t deprive myself of anything,” she tells Shape. “If I want something—steak, a bagel—I’ll eat it. There’s no diet or strict set of rules.”

4. She Cooks Healthy Meals

Jones tells Shape that she likes to cook meals for herself and her son, Xander, and that she makes them with healthy ingredients. “I love to cook for my son and me. For dinner, we like salmon with french fries, and we make pasta frequently. We try to have lots of green veggies. We eat organic because I worry a lot about that for my kid. No antibiotics or hormones in meats is really important to me, and so is eating sustainable fish. I don’t want to be that annoying person in the restaurant who’s like, ‘Where’s this fish from?’ But I do it anyway.”

5. She Stays Organized

Jones says that staying organized is a big part of her wellness and lifestyle. She tells Shape, “I’m a very organized person. I feel sane and calm when I know everything is in its place. I always have a list for the day. When I get to check something off, it’s the best thing ever. At work, when they say action, I can become someone else and be crazy and messy and erratic, and that feels amazing and therapeutic. But at home, the domestic aspect of my life is very important to feeling balanced.”

Singer Geri Halliwell is wishing her fellow Spice Girls group member Melanie Chisholm a very happy birthday on Instagram. Halliwell, 51, shared a picture of the two women posing together, wearing soccer shirts as they flexed their biceps. “Happy birthday @melaniecmusic May all your birthday wishes come true! ❤️❤️” she captioned the post. “Thank you ❤️,” Chisholm, 50, commented. Halliwell has been in the public eye for decades—here’s how she keeps growing and evolving.

1. Horseback Riding

Halliwell starts every day with a ride on her horse. "I don't know how many animals I've got!" she told PEOPLE. "We bought another horse today, and we named him Hercules after my favorite animation. I learned to ride horses in L.A., and now Monty is giving it a go. I was shocked because as a parent, whenever I try and push or over-encourage my children, they're like, 'Meh.' He just suddenly went, 'I'm doing it.' I think he had a play-date, and he was trying to impress his little girlfriend."

2. Lazy Skincare

Halliwell keeps her skincare routine as simple as possible. “I'm probably the laziest person you will ever meet in beauty care,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I am. I'm just tired and I wanna go to bed, so I want to do it as fast as possible and as simply as possible. I use minimal products as possible and I like to keep it natural, keep it simple. I sometimes go to sleep with my makeup on, but I actually like my makeup the next day, you know that kind of sunken in look? In the '90s, I didn't have a skincare regime. I was just like 'Oh, get on with it'. I think maybe [now] I use Nivea, which is a nice cool cream. My mom used it. I quite like it still. But I think as life happens, you're always giving to other people so it is nice to just stop and think 'This is my moment, I matter'. I don't wanna look older. I just wanna look my best.”

3. Wearing White

Halliwell is known for her all-white outfits, something she says was a deliberate style choice. "I really have enjoyed wearing white,” she told InStyle. “I looked through the ages. I've worn white a lot. The more I wore it, I thought, 'Oh actually, this is so easy. Everything matches.' So, it's sort of as a palette, a baseline palette. I've done it for a few years and then everyone keeps on commenting. It's really interesting how everyone comments on it. When I wore black all the time, no one said a word."

4. She’s a Writer

Halliwell writes children's books as well as her regular songwriting work. “I really love writing from the heart—emotive and connective,” she told Town & Country. “I think they can both do the same thing. With writing a book, you've got to be more expansive and more descriptive. It's just a different discipline, but both are very rewarding. I never stopped writing songs. I always knew that I wanted to continue writing music, because that was my favorite thing. Look, I'm no Mariah Carey, but one of my most enjoyable things was always writing the lyrics and the top line.”

5. Fabulous In Her 50s

Halliwell is fully embracing her 50s. “Rather than saying I am 50, I’m saying I get to be 50,” she told Amazing. “I’ve got half a century under my belt! I thought if I am going to champion the evolution of what I’ve always stood for – and that’s empowering others, whoever you are, and being yourself – actually, another boundary to break is to say, ‘It’s alright, it’s more than alright, it’s amazing [to be 50].’ I think sometimes we can look at the future with fear, but it’s the opposite.”
