Olivia Rodrigo is heating up the stage of her Guts tour – in an ab-baring look. In a new social media post the chart-topping singer flaunts her flat abs in hot pants and a matching crop top while on the stage. “4 nights at madison square garden!!! whatta way to end this leg of the tour. immensely grateful for all the wonderful people who work so hard on making this show happen every night and thankful for everyone who has bought tickets and jumped and screamed and sang along with me <3 and massive thanks to the magical songwriting genius @jewel for singing one of my all time favs with me the other night. see u soon europe!!!” she captioned the Instagram post. How does the singer approach diet health and wellness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Running
Olivia revealed to Teen Vogue that she enjoys going running, great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss per Mayo Clinic. “I am a terrible runner but it’s the thought that counts,” she confessed. For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories, according to Mayo.
2. She Reads

Olivia is a fan of books. “I try to read every night before I go to bed,” the singer told Teen Vogue. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.
3. Strength Training
Olivia trains with Kirsty Godso, a New Zealand-born personal trainer who also works out with Kaia Gerber and Maddie Ziegler. She told Teen Vogue that doing ab work helps destress her, saying that she had done “an ab workout to help release some energy.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:
- Develop strong bones
- Manage your weight
- Enhance your quality of life
- Manage chronic conditions
- Sharpen your thinking skills
4. Baths

Olivia is all about self-care and her go-to ritual is free. “I love a bubble bath,” she confessed during Vogue’s 73 Questions. Why should you take a nightly soak? Baths have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.
5. Dancing
Olivia is a trained dancer. “I did a lot of ballet when I was younger, but that didn’t pan out,” she told Vogue. Now, she spends hours a day on stage or rehearsing for shows. Why should you consider adding dance to your routine? It can help build strength and promote flexibility, and also helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
6. Pilates
Olivia goes to Speir Pilates and does workouts on the reformer. The Mayo Clinic explains that Pilates “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.
7. Hiking
During a recent trip to Hawaii Olivia went hiking, a great form of exercise that tones the entire body, explains the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.
