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.”
