Meghan Trainor Says This Strength Routine ‘Changed’ Her Life
Meghan Trainor is feeling the holiday spirit. The “All About That Bass” singer has been all across the country performing as part of iHeart Radio’s Jingle Ball, and has been showcasing some seriously cool looks in the process.
There’s Meghan in a glittery mini skirt with matching boots and a red bra top, Meghan in an all-white mini skirt outfit with a corset top, and the 30-year-old in sparkly briefs with a red faux fur jacket and matching hat. She’s posted a ton about her performances on Instagram, and there’s one consistent theme that keeps coming up in the comments: People can’t stop talking about how fit she looks right now.
“Amazing legs,” one person wrote, while another joked that Meghan is in her “hot mom era.”
Of course, Meghan has made it clear that she doesn’t sleep on her fitness. Here’s what she’s shared about her go-to workout routine.
Lifting weights has ‘changed’ her life.
Meghan has been grinding it out at the gym recently, although she doesn’t go every day. “I try to go three times a week of lifting weights,” she recently shared on Today. “I didn’t know lifting weights would change my life so much. I was, like, dying, trying to run on the treadmill, and it made me swollen.”
Meghan said that lifting has given her more energy, joking that she can now lift her children “up like a dumbbell.” (Meghan shares kids Riley and Barry with husband Daryl Sabara.)
She got into shape ahead of her most recent tour.
It was important to Meghan to feel healthy ahead of her Timeless Tour, which wrapped up in October.
“I’m feeling fit. I’ve never been so fit,” she told People in March. “I already told my household. I was like, ‘I am training for the Olympics, okay?’ I want to train and eat clean, and feel good when I’m dancing and singing. I don’t wanna be so winded, because right now, I’m winded.”
She previously lost weight after giving birth.
Meghan was the “heaviest I’d ever been” after giving birth to her son Riley, 3. “I just wasn’t feeling great,” she told Entertainment Tonight Canada in 2022. “I’ve never had stitches, so to have this C-section scar, I was in a really dark place, and I wanted to be in a great place for my son.”
So she started focusing on her diet and lost weight slowly. “It’s a proud accomplishment that I never thought I could ever do,” she told People.
She also started lifting with husband Daryl:
The “Mother” singer has logged some serious time in the gym with Daryl and her brother, Ryan, too:
Meghan feels great when she works out, per Entertainment Tonight Canada. “My brain is so happy when I exercise,” she said.
