1. She Mixes It Up

Scherzinger says that she likes to do a lot of different exercises when it comes to working out. “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. Which muscles make the most sense to focus on? The answer is in your glutes: Our legs and backside contain some of the largest muscles in our body. As a result, they store—and burn—the most glycogen. An exercise routine that brings these large muscles into play will burn off larger amounts of glycogen, and cause a greater reduction in fat stores, than a routine in which you’re working your arms or chest, for example.

2. She Doesn’t Pressure Herself

When it comes to her diet, Scherzinger tells Us Weekly, that while she tries to eat healthy, she also doesn’t pressure herself to. “With growing older gracefully, you kind of just accept yourself more and more and you’re like, ‘These truffle fries are worth it,’ you know what I’m saying? ‘This cheese is pretty tasty.’”

3. She Meditates

Scherzinger told Us Weekly that she meditates regularly, and that it helps her de-stress from her busy schedule. “I think meditation and prayer is so important,” she says. “We don’t set aside enough time for ourselves to just let all of the noise and all of the dust and everything else settle and get back to the core of ourselves.” "Research has found that meditation may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. When combined with conventional medicine, meditation may improve physical health. For example, some research suggests meditation can help manage symptoms of conditions such as insomnia, heart disease, pain, cancer and digestive problems," says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Loves Hot Yoga

Scherzinger tells Getthegloss.com that one of her favorite ways to stay active is by going to a hot yoga class. “I just love the sweat,” she says. “I love that it pushes you in hot temperatures and I love the stretching side of it.” "Hot yoga is exactly what it sounds like — yoga practiced in a hot environment. Most hot yoga classes have an increased room temperature set anywhere between 90 and 105 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s quite a difference compared to normal room temperature (68 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit). Why so hot? The heat helps lubricate tendons and ligaments, making it easier to fold into certain stretches and poses," says the Cleveland Clinic.

5. She Has Supportive Friends

Scherzinger told Women’s Health UK, that she likes to workout with her friends, and that this is also extremely helpful for her. "Me and my girlfriends support each other for the gym. Because, you know, it’s hard to be motivated sometimes. 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." "Try to recruit a friend who can tackle this exercise journey with you, suggests Christi Marraccini, CPT and instructor at NEOU. Not only will he or she hold you accountable for your exercise sessions (you won't want to leave anyone hanging!), it's also likely to make it more fun!" says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

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.”
