Rapper Ice Spice in Workout Gear Says "We Beatin Them Allegations Bae"

Ice Spice, the chart-topping rapper known for hits like “Boy’s A Liar” and “Princess Diana,” recently found herself at the center of controversy over rumors of using weight loss drugs. In response, the rapper took to Instagram to share a video of her workout routine, confidently captioning the post, “We beatin them allegations bae.” Here’s a closer look at the exercises Ice Spice uses to stay fit and strong, proving that her physique is the result of hard work and dedication.

1. She Does Planks

In her Instagram video, Ice is seen holding a plank. Exercise physiologist, Katie Lawton, MEd, tells The Cleveland Clinic that planks have a lot of benefits. One of them is better posture. “If you can remember to brace your core throughout the day, it can help keep your lower back in a position where you’re standing or sitting up straighter,” Lawton explained.

2. She Runs On The Treadmill

Another thing Ice is seen doing in her Instagram post is running on the treadmill. Healthy Talbot states that using a treadmill has a lot of benefits. “Treadmill working is an aerobic/ cardio exercise. Studies demonstrate that aerobic exercise can minimize the risk of heart diseases. Moreover, they can strengthen your heart muscles. This helps to lower blood pressure and allows the heart to pump blood more efficiently. Most doctors recommend aerobic exercise to people suffering from cardiovascular diseases.”

3. She Strength Trains

In her Instagram video, Ice is seen using weights to do things like Russian twists and RDLs. Using weights has a lot of benefits. The Mayo Clinic states, “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls.”

4. She Does Russian Twists

Ice is seen doing Russian Twists in her Instagram video. Russian twists are a core exercise. Gymless states that they have a lot of benefits. “Russian twists target all the muscles in your core, especially the rectus abdominis and obliques, which makes this exercise an all-inclusive ab workout. This will result in a stronger core that reaps the benefits of improving balance, and creating stability in the spine altogether. A stronger core facilitates better posture, which can result in advantages such as a reduction in back pain.”

5. She Stretches

Ice remembers to stretch. In her Instagram video, she is seen doing leg and hamstring stretches. Harvard Health states that stretching is good for improving flexibility. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Nicki Minaj, the iconic rapper and songwriter, has now added being a mom to her list. After giving birth to her first child, she focused hard on her body and health, incorporating good habits into her daily routine while maintaining her curves. The proof is on display in her latest post in a swimsuit. "Global Ambassador of @maximbetusa & creative director of @maximmag - let the games begin 🎀💕," she captioned it. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Nicki Minaj stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Dances To Shed The Weight

Dancing is a big part of Nicki Minaj‘s workout routine. She really enjoys it and she’s good at it. I mean, just rewatch the Anaconda music video if you need a reminder that she brings it on the dance floor. With the rehearsals and performances Nicki puts on, dancing is a perfect exercise routine for her. "The best kinds of dancing to encourage people to take up are those which develop cooperation, either with a partner or within a set. Each type has its own qualities and makes its own demands but there should be something suitable for almost everyone in your area. Even wheelchair-users have their own formation-dancing teams, providing a good non-competitive alternative to basketball," says one study.

2. She Allows a Cheat Now and Then

When she wants a cheat meal, she goes right for the burgers and other classic junk food, but she aims to balance it back out during the week. A burger or a slice of pizza won’t be detrimental to your health if you balance it out with greens and exercise. The occasional cheat meal is ok if you offset the extra calories somewhere else. “If you feel less deprived by eating that piece of cake, or burger and fries, and don’t feel you have to order one of everything off the menu, it could lead to better long-term outcomes,” says Julia Zumpano, RD, LD.

3. She Prioritizes Cardio

Nicki aims for 30-40 minutes of cardio, generally 3 or 4 days a week. One of her favorite ways to squeeze in cardio is by using the elliptical. It gets the job done, leading to a good sweat session, and has less of an impact on your joints.

4. She's Not Too Hard On Herself

With Nicki Minaj‘s diet, she’s far from strict and goes easy on herself. She definitely tries to eat healthy the majority of the time, by incorporating a lot of greens, chicken, salads, and fruits into her diet. She also makes an effort to drink enough water, sometimes excessively approaching 2 gallons sometimes. She says it also helps to detox her skin.

5. Nicki Loves Strength Training

Nicki does weight training 3 to 4 times a week and adds it into her full body workout. Having the utmost confidence in her body is important to her, but her main priority is staying healthy and focusing on toning her muscles. "As you incorporate strength training exercises into your fitness routine, you may notice improvement in your strength over time. As your muscle mass increases, you'll likely be able to lift weight more easily and for longer periods of time. If you keep it up, you can continue to increase your strength, even if you're not in shape when you begin," says the Mayo Clinic.

Saweetie’s favorite part of her body to train? “Well, I love legs and I was an athlete since I can ever remember. I come from an athletic family. My grandfather played for the San Francisco 49ers and my uncles played football as well. My aunties ran track. We’re all really athletic. So when it comes to fitness, I love working on my legs,” she told Women Fitness. “I think if you have good legs, you look good overall. So, I would say squats and leg presses. Even, mixing in some dance moves like squatting and dancing. I’ve been trying to practice it more and more, It’s a really good exercise!”

How does Saweetie prioritize healthy eating? “I try to cook for myself. I feel like if I’m not going to go on a strict diet, I can do my due diligence by cooking as much as possible and controlling my portions by measuring ingredients so my meal is healthy,” she told Women Fitness

Saweetie has a few go-to cheat foods. One of them is McDonalds. “And my any time favorite food would definitely be crawfish with a yummy cajun sauce, extra spicy, and a side of rice,” she told Women’s Fitness.

4. She Takes Ginger Shows

“I take ginger shots every morning and I take vitamins,” Saweetie revealed to Page Six. “I just feel like a certain type of cleanliness. People don’t talk about it — but let’s talk about it — healthy bowel movements are really important. You got to get that thing flowing.”

5. Music Is Her Therapy

Saweetie has always looked at music as therapy. “An icon is someone who inspires others—through fashion, through music, through your personality, through your perseverance. I’ve always admired the women that came before me, my own icons, because they helped me become the woman I am today,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. Her ultimate icon? Cher. “One thing that she taught me was Take your time, but keep going. No matter where you’re at, keep going. Sometimes, I do feel like giving up. But I know that if she did it, I could do it too. I see a lot of myself in her,” she continued. “I feel like I’ve made it when a fan writes me a letter and they correlate an experience between a song that I put out [and something that happened to them]. It really makes me feel good. Because what good is all this fame, this notoriety, if you’re not helping people? It warms my heart when I hear stories about my music getting someone through a hard exam period, a bad breakup, a time when they were feeling low. I know what it feels like to be that little girl who struggles and who needs music for therapy and for inspiration.”
