Ballerini, like everyone, likes to use meal delivery services to order food. However, she tells Shape Magazine that she doesn’t just use UberEats and DoorDash. She says that she uses a service that her friend owns, which specializes in delivering healthy food. Ballerini credits this with helping her eat healthy. "Growing up, if it wasn't waffles, I wouldn't eat it. But one of my friends started a healthy-food delivery service, and she left me meals two or three times a week, and I felt so much better. That helped me understand how good food keeps you healthy."

2. She Still Indulges Once In A While

Ballerini says that she eats healthy most of the time, but still enjoys her favorite indulgences from time to time. She tells Shape Magazine that she believes in balance and moderation when it comes to diet. “I'm really healthy, 80 percent of the time, but I believe in the power of Chicken McNuggets for real. I'm never going to be that girl who doesn't eat what I want every now and again. A couple times a week I can have a meal, dessert or snack that I just want."

3. She Builds Up Her Endurance

Ballerini has an extremely busy lifestyle, and she is constantly moving around. In order to keep this lifestyle up, Ballerini says that she does a lot of exercises that build her endurance. "I love to move around on stage,” she says to Shape Magazine. “I love to be animated and run around. So being able to sing and breathe at same time, you need endurance. I work out on tour, off tour, and to get ready to tour. I recently took up running and cycling for endurance. I want to break a sweat every day."

4. She’s Disciplined

Ballerini works with trainer, Erin Opera, to keep herself in shape. Opera, who trains several well-known country stars, tells People that Ballerini is extremely disciplined when it comes to exercise. “She might not love working out, but she does it and she does it well,” Opera says. “So much of that comes from eating and drinking, so she has to have the discipline to do that. You can’t do one without the other, you have to do both of them to get the results.”

5. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Ballerini has clear, glowing skin. Naturally, this means that she takes care of it. Ballerini told some of her skin care secrets to WhoWhatWear, and she says that she uses products that help her skin stay healthy. “I'm not as good as I should be about it,” Ballerini admits. “But as I've gotten older, I've really learned how important it is to take care of my skin. So whenever I'm not wearing super-glam makeup, I always have some kind of sunscreen on because I think that's really important. And then at night I always try to use a makeup wipe. That way at least I'm doing something even if I'm not doing the wholeeeee situation.”

6. She Hydrates Her Skin After A Flight

Ballerini has to fly all over the place. This means that her skin can suffer, as flying can dehydrate it. However, she tells WhoWhatWear that she always brings things to hydrate her skin after she gets off the plane. “I actually had a really really crazy travel day, so I brought all of my serums and creams in a bag, and I just made sure I had a thick layer of moisturizer on my face at all times. Flying just dehydrates you SO much. Not only internally, but your skin too.”

Kelsea Ballerini is one of the most successful country stars of all time. She’s known for hit songs like “Peter Pan,” “Love Me Like You Mean It,” and “Miss Me More.” Ahead of her new album’s release, Ballerini took a trip to Italy. She shared some highlights on Instagram this week. In one photo, she is seen sunbathing in a swimsuit. How does she stay so fit?

Ballerini opened up about her fitness routine to Women’s Health. She says that she is getting back into ballet. “I'm just trying to see what my body remembers and then relearn the art of it, because it's so beautiful. It's the little micro muscles in your ankles and in your inner thighs, and the (idea) that there's a string pulling you directly up to the ceiling while your toes are pushing down into the ground.”

2. She’s Adjusting How She Views Working Out

In her Women’s Health interview, Ballerini talked about her approach to fitness. She says that while touring with the Jonas Brothers, she began to over-exercise. Ballerini says that she is trying to change this approach, and is not working out unless she feels like it’s best for her. “As someone that's really struggled with body image my whole life, I really have to be checked in to, 'Am I doing this for the right reasons?’ I felt like by the end of that tour, I was starting to detach from the correct reasons for working out.”

3. She Washes Her Face

Ballerini shared some of her skincare secrets with WhoWhatWear, including how she washes her face. “Well, I think the first thing is that in the last few years, I’ve switched from just using makeup wipes to actually washing my face [laughs]. I mean, I’m finally acting like I’m in my late 20s now. It’s about time! But yeah, my morning routine is to wash with Skin Pharm’s Gentle Soothing Cleanser ($40), and then I use hyaluronic acid, and then I use Skin Pharm’s Glow Factor Vitamin C Serum ($150), their Eye Sculpt ($75)—which is an eye cream—and then the SPF. It’s a whole thing!”

4. She Walks

Ballerini tells WhoWhatWear that she likes to walk to stay in shape. “Right now, my workout routine is really just walking outside and getting fresh air and vitamin D from the sun, hanging out with my dog. … That’s what feels like a healthy place for me. When my body tells me it’s time to get back into the gym or do weight training or SoulCycle or all those things I’ve been doing over the last few years, then I’ll start going back in that direction.”

5. She Wears Sunscreen

Ballerini shared her favorite sunscreen in her WhoWhatWear interview. “There’s a place in Nashville called Skin Pharm, and my friend Maegan founded it. They have stores all over now, but the OG is in Nashville, and she has completely changed my skin. I use all of her stuff, and she has a 100% Mineral Tinted SPF ($60) that’s been a huge game changer for my skin.”

Country superstar Kelsea Ballerini is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day the traditional way: by wearing green! A green bathing suit that is.

Ballerini tells The Cut that she still does sessions with her trainer while she’s touring and on the road. “I have a trainer when I’m home in Nashville. Her name is Erin Oprea and she also trains Carrie Underwood and a bunch of other people. We do a lot of strength training and then when I’m on the road, we do circuits — sometimes with my band — or we’ll go to a class that’s close by, like if there’s a Soul Cycle we’ll go offsite to do that, which is really fun.”

2. She Has A Workout Playlist

Ballerini tells The Cut that she loves to listen to music in order to get herself through a workout or gym session. She says that her go-to workout songs are anything fast with motivational lyrics. “I usually listen to rap or EDM or anything that makes me want to actually push myself. I love anything Drake; I like Kendrick [Lamar] a lot. As for EDM, I like Zedd and Chainsmokers; anything with a beat drop.”

3. She Believes in Moderation

Ballerini says that she’s all about moderation when it comes to her diet. She tells The Cut that she lives by the popular “80/20 Rule” when it comes to food. “I try to eat really healthy 80 percent of the time, and then the other 20 percent of the time I’m eating cookies, pizza, and wine. I’m a red wine person.”

4. She Knows What Works For Her

Ballerini tells The Cut that she doesn’t listen to other people’s workout and wellness tips. She says that she knows what works best for her and sticks with it. “You have to find what works for you and not compare your health or your workouts or your eating patterns to anyone else’s, because everyone is different and everyone’s bodies are different. Learn what works for you, and be happy with that.”

5. She’s All About Endurance

Ballerini tells Shape that she does a lot of endurance based workouts, like running. She says that she does these types of exercises because they are the most helpful to her in her daily life. "I love to move around on stage. I love to be animated and run around. So being able to sing and breathe at same time, you need endurance. I work out on tour, off tour, and to get ready to tour. I recently took up running and cycling for endurance. I want to break a sweat every day."
