Pia Mia is doing her hair in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the singer shows off her newly lightened locks – and her washboard abs – wearing a crop top as she tousles her locks in the mirror. “So beautiful,” a fan commented. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Tia avoids diets and indulges her cravings. “‘I don’t diet. I do what I want and I do what makes me happy. I exercise, but if I want to buy an entire bag of Cheetos, I’m going to, and if I want a green juice, I’ll do that too,” she told Daily Mail Australia. “I don’t like restrictions, it’s not the way to live.”
Pia’s main form of fitness is strength training workouts. In workout videos shared by the Dog Pound gym where she works out she does exercises like squats, leg lifts, battle ropes, and box jumps. Strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently, according to Mayo Clinic. Strength training may also help you:
- Develop strong bones
- Manage your weight
- Enhance your quality of life
- Manage chronic conditions
- Sharpen your thinking skills
Pia takes down time and loves soaking in a hot tub. Things that make me feel good (apart from makeup) are just relaxing, taking a bath, writing in my journal and just getting my thoughts out. It helps me to just kind of settle down and see what my goals are and what I’m going through, and that makes me (feel) more secure in a way,” she told Daily Mail.
Pia told Glamour that Krav Maga, “an Israeli self defense and street fighting system,” is one of her favorite workouts. “I became so obsessed, they invited me to become an instructor when I was 16 years old and so I did and am very proud of that. I also take a lot of bag classes, in those classes you work on the heavy bag, cardio, and weight training. The best part of my workout is that I get to keep fit and train to protect myself on the streets at the same time,” she said.
Pia also maintains that Pilates is a “really good” fitness method. “Working out, I think it’s important to make it fun – not just like ‘ugh I gotta go to the gym’,” Pia added to BeautyCrew. Why should you consider pilates? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “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.
