Selena Gomez’ Ab Workout Makes Hitting The Gym Sound Fun

No, we're actually not joking. - by Lucy Bode
  • 14 Aug 2019

Ah, Selena Gomez. The master of matching tracksuits, ~iconic~ ‘Grams and total ab envy. Here’s some context on the latter for those in need:

Case in point: the girl is fit AF - but don’t think she’s the type to spend hours on the treadmill downing protein shakes. In an interview with Health, Sel’s trainer Amy Rosoff Davis (who, FYI, is also responsible for Kristen Bell’s ripped rig) shared a snippet of the 27-year-old’s refreshingly simple workout regime.

“I’m not about making the workout crazy and obsessive, but doing things that feel fun,” she told the publication. Here, variety and balance are key.

“I will do kickboxing with someone one day. I’ll do an entire yoga flow another day—sometimes it’s a really hard yoga and others it will be Ashtanga, which is more of a detoxing type of yoga. I’ll make them do two minutes of jump rope on and off for an hour,” she explained. “I get bored doing the same stuff and I know Selena and my other clients would be bored doing the same thing every day too.”

How much cardio should I do? How long? How many days? What should I eat? What shouldn't I eat?******************************************************There is not one answer or perfect recipe. Every body is totally different (thank goodness or we would all look the same!) and has different needs. Instead of searching for "the answer", try and life your healthiest life. Make exercise and healthy food part of lifestyle. Or rather- make it your lifestyle! Make a commitment to take care of your body, because it FEELS GOOD- not because you think a certain amount of time at the gym will make you a certain size. Or that eating a stalk of celery will make you fit in those size 2 jeans. For the record, I love celery.... but I also love steak ...and fries... and all the yummy foods out there. Food is life! But. It's all about balance. Love that gorgeous body you were given and treat it with kindness and respect and it will do the same to you!! Be active. Get your heart pumping. Do yoga. Stretch. Take a dance class. Hike. And eat healthy yummy stuff that makes your skin and body feel LIT (yup, I said it). And if and when you don't do any of those things cause you want that pasta or want the couch instead of the treadmill.... don't beat yourself up. There is always tomorrow or another day. #loveyourself

It’s this “kitchen sink” approach to working out that helps the singer stay a.) motivated and b.) looking the goods.

“A lot of people don’t know that you need to do some sort of cardio and some sort of toning to get results,” Davis said. “To build musculature and get your metabolism working, you have to do some of those toning moves. But cardio you need for your endurance and stamina and to burn calories.”

@gq this month -thank you for the rad article Zach

So, what types of moves, specifically, does Selena do on the reg? She mainly focuses on her core strength and incorporates the arms and butt, i.e. second position plies, stacked leg lifts and inchworms with shoulder taps.

“I find it really helps get results and makes people strong,” Davis said. Sign us up. (You’ll find more details on each exercise here.)
