JoJo Siwa is dancing around in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the singer flaunts her fantastic figure – including her washboard abs – while doing a silly dance with a big ball around her body. “Only kind of balls I do⚫️💚,” she joked in the caption of the Instagram clip. When she isn’t dancing, how does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Jojo told Eater that she fuels up on lean protein. “Normally before I perform every day, when I’m on tour, I eat a lot of grilled chicken and vegetables. Any vegetable, really, and sometimes maybe a healthy pasta in there. I try to keep it super healthy — that way I feel fueled — but I’m still super energized and not eating anything that can make you sleepy,” she said.
She also snacks healthy. “I love having fruit around me at all times. I always have bananas, blueberries, apples, and grapes. I also really like charcuterie boards, so I love to have a bunch of different meats and cheeses and crackers,” she dished to Eater.
JoJo shared her workout on TikTok, explaining it was “about a two-hour workout.” She starts with a “stretchy stretch.” “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”
She then moves on to jump rope for 10 minutes and then does a circuit of cardio and strength training. Medicine ball slams, mountain climbers, and plank shoulder taps are part of her upper body routine. Then she jump ropes again and moves on to assisted pull-ups, triceps pushdowns, hanging leg raises, and weighted ab pulldowns. At the end of the workout she does 20 minutes of treadmill sporting on an 8 percent incline and then does speed push-ups and speed V-ups. “That was it for today,” Siwa said in the voice-over. “Ended up being about a two-hour workout and it was awesome.”
Dancing is a big part of JoJo’s daily life. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but 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.
