"Shout out to everyone who's been on my gua sha journey with me,” she said. “I still be doing it wrong. Y'all still love me and support me.

2. She Works Out In Shorts Now

Lizzo has been open about her approach with confidence and body positivity. In one of her TikToks, she revealed that she had reached a large milestone. "Now let me tell you. I was always too insecure — well, not too insecure, but too self-conscious — to work out in shorts,” the singer started. “Also my thigh meat chafes, so I was like, ‘why do that?’ But today I'm working out in shorts and I'm gonna keep it real with y'all: not much has changed, physically, about myself, but a lot has changed here, mentally. Here, emotionally.”

3. She Has No Time For Haters

Lizzo has been open about her body journey and her decision to start working out more. And she also doesn’t care what anyone has to say about her. "Hey, so I've been working out consistently for the last five years and it may come as a surprise to some of y'all that I'm not working out to have your ideal body type. I'm working out to have my ideal body type," she said in a TikTok. "And you know what type that is? None of your f---ing business because I am beautiful, I am strong, I do my job and I stay on my job."

Lizzo isn’t just about working out her body. She also wants to make sure her mental health and wellbeing are okay as well. In the same TikTok, she stated, “Health is not just determined on what you look like on the outside. Health is also what happens on the inside.”

5. She Strength Trains

Lizzo posts a lot of workout videos on TikTok. One type of exercise that the singer likes to do in particular is strength train. In this video, she is seen doing hamstring pulls, pushing and pulling a weighted cart, and kettlebell squats. She captioned the video, “The best transformations are the ones only you can see.” A hamstring stretch can be great. "In general, when you're stretching, keep it gentle. Breathe freely as you hold each stretch for around 30 seconds. Try not to hold your breath. Don't bounce or hold a painful stretch. Expect to feel tension while you're stretching. If you feel pain, you've gone too far," says the Mayo Clinic.

Lizzo is one of the most well-known singers right now. She’s enjoyed number one hits, top ten albums, and Grammy awards. She’s currently enjoying a vacation in the Bahamas, and shared a new set of photos on Instagram. In them, she posed on the beach in a green and black patterned swimsuit. Lizzo captioned the post, “Bahamas, you ready? See you soon.” How does she stay so fit?

She says that she is trying to take in all her success. “I'm taking it day by day and I've been smelling the flowers, the roses,” she says. “I've been in the present moment, and I'm just so glad I finally got to this point. It took me a long time to get to this point in my career, but it also took me a long time to get to this point in my life where I can actually appreciate the present moment. It all kind of synced up at the same time. So everything that happens, I'm just getting the full celebration of it.”

2. She Wants To Set A Good Example

Lizzo has a lot of fans, and she wants to set a good example for it. She tells NPR that she thinks about the messages she sends out. “I say this on-stage to everybody: ‘I'm not gonna sell you the commercialized self-love. I'm not gonna sell you the hashtag self-care.’ I'm not into that. I feel a responsibility as a pioneer in this wave of body positivity to push the narrative further. Now that everyone's caught up, and now that it's mainstream, the pioneers have a responsibility to take it further. And I'm taking it even further with self-actualization and how to use our emotions constructively to better deepen our relationship with self-love and ourselves.”

3. She’s All About Self-Care

Lizzo tells NPR that she’s all about making time for herself. “I think that there is something to emotions and vulnerability and expressing those emotions in a more vulnerable way to yourself that I think we haven't tapped into. And I think there's also something to realizing that bad days are still self-loving days, and you can still practice self-care on bad days because these are the days that aren't really glamorized or talked about or commercialized yet. ... It gets real nitty and gritty, and it gets real deep and it gets real dark, and I think that that's the next step to talking about self-love in this mainstream space.”

4. She Works Out At Home

Lizzo has a busy schedule. But she makes sure to work out on a regular basis. One of Lizzo’s secrets to staying in shape is working out in her home. She shares a lot of her favorite at-home workouts on TikTok.

5. She Runs On The Treadmill

One thing Lizzo does to stay in shape is run on the treadmill. She shared this video on TikTok of herself doing a treadmill social media challenge. She captioned the post, “I started at 2.5>3.1, then jogged at a 3.6. Not everyone’s journey is the same, but we can all strut like a baddie heaux.”

Lizzo is having a pool day in January! The singer shared a few clips while making a splash in the backyard of her Los Angeles home, rocking a colorful swimsuit.

Lizzo identifies as “body neutral” not “body positive,” she explained in the December 2021 issue of Essence Magazine. “It’s exhausting,” she said. “And that’s the point. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. We should be neutral about bodies.” She has also used the term "body normative” to describe her approach. “I want to normalize my body. And not just be like, ‘Ooh, look at this cool movement. Being fat is body-positive.’ No, being fat is normal,” she told Vogue in 2020. “I think now, I owe it to the people who started this to not just stop here. We have to make people uncomfortable again, so that we can continue to change. Change is always uncomfortable, right?”

2. She Battled Body Dysmorphia

Lizzo doesn’t want to be seen as “brave” for her body, but celebrated for her music. “I’m so much more than that. Because I actually present that, I have a whole career. It’s not a trend.”

5. She Wants Everyone to Feel “Blessed” and “Capable”

“I’m blessed, and I want you to know that you’re blessed. I want you to know that you woke up this morning, and that’s a blessing, I want you to know the sun is shining somewhere, that’s a blessing, and even if it’s raining, it’s cleansing you – it’s a blessing. I want you to know that whatever you’re going through, if it doesn’t feel good, that you will feel good again, and you have whatever it takes to feel good again,” she said during an Instagram video she posted after the Twitter situation. “You are capable. You deserve to feel good as hell, and you deserve to find that. And as proud as you are of me, I’m proud of you. I’m really proud of you – because life comes at you fast, and sometimes it can be so hard, but if I can make it, I know you can make it. We can make it together.”

6. She Prioritizes Self Care

“Self care is in the little moments — bathing, sweating, washing your hair.. it’s in laughing so hard you can barely catch a breath, your lungs expanding on a morning jog… now more than ever we need to enjoy the quiet within ourselves,” Lizzo said on Instagram.

7. She Wants Everyone to Feel “Good As Hell”

“Let me talk to y’all for a second,” Lizzo told fans at the 2019 MTV VMAs. “It’s so hard trying to love yourself in a world that doesn’t love you back, am I right?” she said. “So I want to take this opportunity right now to just feel good….. Because you deserve to feel good …. So tell me how you’re feeling?”

8. She Loves Her “Dimple” and “Stretch Marks”

“I’m doing this for myself. I love creating shapes with my body, and I love normalizing the dimples in my” backside “or the lumps in my thighs or my back fat or my stretch marks. … I think it’s beautiful,” she told Essence about loving her body.

9. She Chose to Accept Herself

“I don’t think that loving yourself is a choice. I think that it’s a decision that has to be made for survival; it was in my case,” she told NBC News. “Loving myself was the result of answering two things: Do you want to live? ‘Cause this is who you’re gonna be for the rest of your life. Or are you gonna just have a life of emptiness, self-hatred and self-loathing? And I chose to live, so I had to accept myself.”

10. She Believes Fitness Has No Clothing Size

“I want people to realise that fitness doesn’t have a look or an aesthetic or a weight. Fitness is a very personal thing that’s between you and your doctor,” she told Billboard. “To have a big black girl singing about how she’s working on the calisthenics – because mind you, I be in the gym everyday, but people don’t believe that … I think that it’s empowering for young girls, to see that it’s okay to work out and not have a six-pack.”
