Taylor Swift supported her Super Bowl champion beau – and flashed her abs – at the big game on Sunday. The singer arrived at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas with pals Blake Lively and Ice Spice, grabbing major attention for her look, which included a Dion Lee crochet corset top with side cutouts that put her washboard abs on display. How does the 34-year-old maintain her fit figure? Celebwell has the details on her diet and exercise habits.
“For me, running is about blasting a whole bunch of new songs and running to the beat. It’s also good because it makes me find a gym wherever I am,” Taylor once told WebMD about her love of pounding pavement. “I’m very much out in the world, and I love exploring the places we go when we tour. It’s important for me to live a full life.” If she isn’t running outdoors, she will hit the treadmill for an hour.
As for diet, Taylor tries to keep her Monday through Friday eating in check. “During the week, I try to eat healthily, so that means salads, yoghurt, and sandwiches,” she told WebMD. “No sugary drinks. I try to keep it lighter, but it’s nothing too regimented or crazy. I don’t like to create too many rules where I don’t need them. We know what’s good for us, thanks to common sense.”
“I allow myself to eat what I know from common sense is bad for me,” Taylor added to WebMD about her weekend diet. “I like comfort foods. I love a burger and fries, I love ice cream so much, and I love baking cookies. Actually, I love baking anything.”
Swift is often photographed with a coffee in hand. Her go-to Starbucks drinks are “skinny vanilla lattes on weekdays” and “spiced pumpkin lattes on weekends.” According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
“I have so much water in my dressing room—because I drink, like, ten bottles of water a day,” Taylor told Bon Appétit about her must-haves. “That’s pretty much all we have in there.” she said. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
Taylor burns a lot of calories during her hours-long performances on stage, which include a lot of dancing. She is also a fan of New York-based studio, Body By Simone, taking classes at the trainer’s studios. 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.
