Nicole Scherzinger in Workout Gear Does Handstands On the Beach

Singer Nicole Scherzinger is 45 and in the best shape of her life—just look at her social media for proof! Scherzinger shared a video of herself wearing white leggings and a matching cropped tank top, doing yoga handstands on a beautiful beach. “Life is a balance between what we can control and what we cannot. I am learning to live between struggle and surrender,” she captioned the impressive post. Scherzinger works hard and knows how to enjoy a balanced life—here’s how she stays happy, fit, and strong.

1. Workout Seasons

Scherzinger’s workout regimen changes depending on work. "I'm not on tour and I'm not doing music videos, so I'm not as crazy about exercise as I usually am,” she told Netdoctor. “So I'm a bit more lenient on myself. If I'm honest with you, I work out more for my frame of mind and to prepare me for the shows. I really love and care about my job and the live shows, and I want to arrive feeling as though I'm ready to take on anything and give everything. And workouts help me get in that frame of mind."

2. Running and Yoga

Scherzinger struggles with motivation like anyone else, but never regrets a workout. “I don't always want to work out; I've got to make myself,” she told Cosmopolitan. “I feel so much better about myself when I do. It makes me feel amazing. Personally, I love to run or do yoga, I feel amazing after that from the inside out.”

3. Balance and Moderation

Scherzinger no longer restricts her food or follows fad diets. "I have been on every diet in the world, so I don't like diets because they only seem to last for so long - and you really mess with your metabolism,” she told Netdoctor. “It's more about balance and moderation. If I deprive myself of things, I tend to go wild afterwards. I think your body tends to crave what you give it. If you're going to eat a lot of crisps and French fries, you're going to crave that. If you drink a lot of water, eat more rice, pulses, salads and fish your body is going to crave that, too. If you want to eat a bit more desert, have a little bit if it's going to satisfy your sweet tooth. It's balance."

4. Beauty Philosophy

Scherzinger’s beauty mantra is based on inner happiness. “Meat is beautiful on a woman and curves are beautiful on a woman. But ultimately it's the glow and the beauty from within that really shines,” she told Cosmopolitan. “If you feel great within from taking care of yourself more, then people see that and are attracted to that more than anything.”

5. Good Days, OK Days

Scherzinger is all about making conscious choices with her health and wellness. "Everybody is different, so you have to listen to your body,” she told Netdoctor. “And you have to listen to it by taking care of yourself the best that you can. Getting in a little bit of a walk or a workout, sleeping when you can, and just trying to make conscious choices. Then you have your days where you have your fish and chips. You want your Sunday roast with extra gravy - go for it on that Sunday! And then get back into it."

Nicole Scherzinger is in Spain in a swimsuit with partner Thom Evans, and took some selfies by the pool in a swimsuit. “There they are 🔥❤️‍🔥,” commented Eli Wehbe. “Enjoy 🔥❤️,” said Keith Barry. “Enjoy🔥,” said Dimitri “Vegas” Thivaios.

1. She Does Overhead Presses

Nicole trains with celebrity trainer Paolo Mascitti, and they shared a workout with Shape, which included overhead presses. “Grasp the dumbbells in your hands and sit with your back against a back rest so that your head, shoulders and butt make contact with the bench. Place your feet firmly on the floor. Stiffen your torso by contracting your core and abdominal muscles (‘bracing’). If working with a spotter, signal for assistance. Exhale and slowly lift the dumbbells to your shoulder level with a closed, pronated grip (palms facing forward and thumbs wrapped around the handles), with the dumbbells at shoulder-width or slightly wider and wrists in a neutral position (avoid flexion and extension of the wrists). Retract and depress your scapulae (pull down and back) and hold this scapulae position throughout the exercise,” says ACE Fitness.

2. She’s Done Burpees

To do a burpee: “Place hands on the ground shoulder-width apart. Jump to push-up position. Lower chest and thighs to the ground. Jump feet up to hands. Jump vertically with full hip and knee extension. Arms extend overhead during the jump,” says Crossfit.

3. She Does Planks

Try a plan with a fitness ball. “Core exercises strengthen your core muscles, including the muscles in your abdomen and back. You can do many core exercises with a fitness ball. Let's try the plank,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Lie on the fitness ball on your stomach, with your feet touching the floor behind the ball. Lean forward until you touch the floor with your hands. Walk your hands away from the ball until you feel the ball reach your upper thighs. Your feet will be suspended above the floor, and you'll be balancing on your hands and the ball. Keep your shoulders directly above your hands. Tighten your abdominal muscles, and hold for three deep breaths or as long as you can maintain your balance and form. Then return to the starting position.”

4. She Does Squats

“The squat is arguably the most popular exercise used by athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike, and for good reason. There is ample evidence describing its use for improving lower body muscular endurance, strength, muscle size, and power,” says NASM.

5. She Does a Weighted Reverse Lunge

“The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving! We’ll discuss different tweaks, twists and turns that change the demand on the kinetic chain; and that keep your clients’ workouts interesting and effective,” says NASM.

Nicole Scherzinger spends a lot of time at the beach. Currently, she is in beautiful Hawaii. Scherzinger posted a new highlight reel on Instagram of her trip.

6. She Doesn’t Make Excuses

One of the key reasons Nicole is so successful in staying fit is that she doesn’t make excuses. “I travel so much it’s so important for me to sweat it out. It’s not only for physical being, but mostly for my mental well-being. It keeps me centered, focused, strong and helps me get in the right frame of mind for my work ahead. Preparation is key. Prepare yourself so when the opportunity comes, you are ready!” she recently wrote on Instagram.
