Ciara is known for some of the catchiest songs, including “1, 2 Step,” “Goodies,” and “Level Up.” Recently, she released a new track called “Ecstasy.” Along with the song, Ciara and Kristy Sarah launched a social media challenge on Instagram. In the challenge videos, the two wore matching workout outfits. Ciara impressed fans by balancing on a chair, showing off her strong physique.
How does Ciara maintain such a fit figure? Here are five wellness secrets she follows.
Ciara and her husband, NFL star Russell Wilson, enjoy working out together. One activity they both love is boxing. Russell posted a video on Instagram of them sparring in their garage. He captioned it, “Training with my lady… @Ciara we will whoop dat……also I think I may have let one go while swinging.”
After giving birth to her fourth child last year, Ciara spoke to E! News about her journey to lose pregnancy weight. She said she didn’t rush the process. “Sometimes, you want to make things picture-perfect and life doesn’t allow you to do that,” she explained. “This is real s–t. There’s no perfectness to motherhood. For example, I had a scale drop and now the scale went back up. I was like, uhhh. I’m going to give myself grace, and eat a couple of potatoes and ice cream because I need that for my mind. That’s where I am with it—and it’s OK.”
Ciara stays motivated to exercise regularly. She told W Magazine, “A few years ago I upped my commitment level to really living a healthy life. I would train for what I needed to do, like going on tour or a video, but I wouldn’t really be consistent every day. Once I made that commitment to live healthier and make better fitness decisions, it was game-changing for me—and I realized that I didn’t have to work as hard.”
To keep her cardio in check, Ciara enjoys running on the treadmill. She said, “I used to run track in high school, so I was always an athlete at my core. But sometimes, it’s fun to get on a treadmill and just sprint for one minute, then pop off. You push yourself between breaks to the highest speed you can go, then spring and hop off, and repeat. You can do it 10 times, and it really gets your cardiovascular going like crazy. It’s great for conditioning.”
Ciara also shared details about her daily diet in the W Magazine interview. She tries to limit carbs at dinner. “I’ll have my dinner. What I’ve been trying to do lately is cut down my carbs at night. This meal plan and workout plan is the healthier side of me. When I’m super dialed in, I’ll have fish and two vegetables at night and call it a day.”
Ciara’s balanced approach to fitness and diet helps her maintain her strong, healthy body while staying realistic about motherhood and self-care.
