1. She Takes Ice Baths

On The Ellen Show, Scherzinger revealed she loves taking ice baths. “I love ice baths, it’s so good for your body but for me, it sharpens the mind like iron,' she said. 'It’s all mental for me, I have to put on some music and go into a zone,” she said. "Cold water immersion involves people immersing themselves in water at temperatures of less than 15°C to manage muscle soreness after exercise and speed up recovery time. There is some evidence to show that cold-water immersion reduces muscle soreness at 24-72 hours after exercise compared with ‘passive’ treatment, or rest. It is here that the research falls down slightly by not comparing the use of cold-water immersion to an active recovery of light exercise, or perhaps even more pertinently, a combination of the two," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She “Sexercises” with Her Boyfriend

On The Ellen Show, she discussed her “sexercise” workouts with her boyfriend. “Do you know what I love about this in the videos?” she said about the sexy workout videos she posts. “We go like this, because he’s a control freak and I’m a control freak, but in the videos we're really happy and really cute. He loves to work out, he keeps me motivated, and I motivate us on the videos.”

3. She Works Out a Lot

Nicole is totally committed to fitness. "In a typical workout I would run on the treadmill maybe 20 mins, then try to do some squats, some sit-ups on the exercise ball, some yoga stretches," she told Women's Health UK. “When I’m home I like to take a spinning class called Soul Cycle or I like to do hot yoga—a modified version of bikram yoga—or hiking, and core power yoga in LA.”

Nicole eats herself skinny. "For breakfast I love eggs and toast and smoked salmon or bacon, or porridge. For lunch I like maybe some soup or some sushi. For dinner, anything from pasta to rice, and meats and veggies, to sushi. When I’m going to indulge, I love pasta, pizza, I love Mexican with lots of cheese. I love French fries, or crisps - salt and vinegar crisps. In terms of snacks: almonds, coconut water, bits of coconut, baby carrots,” she told Women’s Health.

In addition to her boyfriend, Nicole has lots of workout support. "Me and my girlfriends support each other for the gym.

"We’ll go hiking one day and then we’ll try a sculpting hot yoga class, then we’ll do a cardio. We just motivate each other."

In all my years of training, the Viking Method is unlike anything I have ever done.”

Scherzinger loves to eat fresh oysters, especially when she’s in New Orleans. “Yes, oysters are very good for you,” according to preventive cardiology dietitian Julia Zumpano, RD, LD. “In fact, you probably didn’t know that it’s hard to beat all the health benefits of oysters from a nutritional standpoint.”

3. She Loves To Surf

Scherzinger is a Hawaiian girl through and through, judging by her surfing skills. “Surfing can definitely be considered a form of interval training which combines short, high intensity bursts of speed with a recovery phase, repeated during exercise training,” says CSUSM professor Dr. Sean Newcomer.

4. She Snacks On Corn

Scherzinger loves to snack on corn on the cob with lots of butter. “Corn has many health benefits,” says Caitlin Terpstra, RD, LD. “It consists primarily of insoluble fiber, which makes it a low-glycemic index food. This means it is a food that is digested slowly and doesn't cause an unhealthy spike in blood sugar. It also contains many B vitamins, as well as essential minerals, including zinc, magnesium, copper, iron and manganese. Since corn is considered a starchy vegetable, people with diabetes need to keep in mind that a half cup of corn, or a small ear of corn, contains 15 grams of carbohydrate and counts as one carbohydrate food choice.”

5. She Works Out With Friends

Scherzinger loves to work out with her friends to stay motivated. "Me and my girlfriends support each other for the gym. Because, you know, it’s hard to be motivated sometimes, so when you go you push each other, we try to do different things. We’ll go hiking one day and then we’ll try a sculpting hot yoga class, then we’ll do cardio. We just motivate each other."

Nicole Scherzinger is 44 years old and has seriously never looked better. The singer posted a series of photos of herself wearing a black bikini at the beach, captioning the shots “Sun-day ☀️ Bun-day 🍑 Fun-day 😘.” How does The Masked Singer star stay so fit?

1. She Doesn’t Snack After Sunset

Scherzinger tries not to eat too late at night, preferring an early dinner. “When you eat late at night, you’re going against your body’s circadian rhythm,” says Alexis Supan, RD. “At night is when we eat the unhealthy stuff — chips, cookies, ice cream — as part of our nighttime relaxation routine. But it’s also mindless eating.”

2. She Loves Hiking

Scherzinger enjoys outdoor workouts, especially running and hiking. “The nice thing about hiking is that it exists along an entire continuum, from a gentle walk on a flat wooded path to mountain climbing,” says Dr. Aaron L. Baggish, associate director of the Cardiovascular Performance Program at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. “There’s a real sense of peace and composure you get from being outside and away from everything.”

3. She Loves Protein For Breakfast

Scherzinger’s favorite breakfast is a powerhouse of good protein. “My favorite breakfast is poached eggs with avocado toast and smoked salmon,” she tells Daily Mail Australia. “Lunchtime I'll usually snack on something small and healthy, and then I'll usually eat out in the evenings. “

4. Music Is Her Therapy

Scherzinger is passionate about the impact her craft has on her overall wellbeing. "To me, music is emotion," she tells PEOPLE. "Music is story. I just want to go back to my love of music, my love of singing, my love of telling stories through songs, connecting on a much deeper level through performance, having people transcend through these performances and be moved, inspired or changed in some way."

5. She Does F45 Workouts

Scherzinger is a big fan of F45 workouts, which combine high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with circuit and functional training. “I just tried F45 here in Australia and I really liked it. I think it's important to find a few different classes or workouts which you enjoy, whether that's swimming or going for a run,” she says. “Mixing everything up gives me the best results. Stretching and hydrating are so important in making progress with your fitness goals too.”
