Being a singer, Ballerini gets to request things in her dressing room and tour bus. And her requests are not only simple, but healthy. “All I want is hummus for some reason,” she told SELF. “It’s a comfort thing. I have to have it. There’s always like seven containers in my fridge. I eat it all the time with veggies or pita chips.”

3. She Uses Vibe Chefs

Ballerini tells SELF that she uses Vibe Chefs, a food service that specializes in making healthy meals for singers. “They make me gluten-free protein bars, a couple kale salads, and a few healthy pastas so I can get my carbs after a show instead of having a burger.”

Ballerini tells SELF that she always makes sure to get enough rest. “I am really aware of my sleep, because if I don’t get enough, I’m not at my best. So I’m not scared of a good nap now and then. If I have a two-hour chunk of downtime during the day, you better believe I’m napping.”

5. She Boxes

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.”

2. She Double Cleanses

4. She Walks

One of Ballerini’s favorite workouts is going on walks. She tells WhoWhatWear that she picked this up after touring. “I could just feel that my body really needed a break. And to be completely honest with you, ever since then, I have just been walking, and that’s kind of it. I don’t want working out to become an unhealthy crutch for me. So 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.”

5. She Believes In Balance

Ballerini tells New Beauty that she is all about balance in her life. She says that the pandemic is what caused her to develop this. “I learned so much about myself this past year.

I love always having forward motion and looking to what’s next, but I think I’ve learned that I can do that better when my roots are deep and watered.”

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.

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."

It’s a sunny day, and Kelsea Ballerini is taking advantage of it. She decided to break out one of her bikinis to celebrate this weather.

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.”
