Kelsea Ballerini Opens Up About Her Ab Routine and Shares Her Struggles with Body Confidence

Kelsea Ballerini has shared her favorite ab workout routine.

The 32-year-old singer took to Instagram on Monday, December 1, to discuss her fitness regimen during a Q&A session with fans.

“I appreciate you asking this,” she expressed. “Abs have become my recent goal (mainly because my belly has been a source of insecurity for me and I want to transform that narrative positively.)”

She added, “Honestly, my abs fluctuate daily, haha.”

Ballerini went on to describe her exercise plan: “I do my routine three times a week, plus a ‘hot girl walk’ every day.” Her specific treadmill regimen includes 15 minutes at a speed of 4.0, before increasing the incline to 8-10 at a speed of 3.6. “Then I just savor my food and wine without much worry.”

During the Q&A, she also shared insights about her fashion choices and new tattoo ideas she’s considering.

When asked about any “new tattoos,” she replied, “Not currently, but I love getting a tattoo for each album/EP I launch.”

Ballerini dropped her latest EP, Mount Pleasant, in November and is still contemplating a tattoo design tied to her music. She reached out to her followers for ideas: “Any ‘Mount Pleasant’ tattoo suggestions? I’m thinking of getting one while I’m in [Australia] 🙃,” she noted while traveling.

The “I Sit in Parks” singer also discussed her fashion after a fan asked for tips on developing their style. “It’s funny you mention this, as I realized that outside of my artist persona, I didn’t really know my personal style,” she admitted. “So I’ve been experimenting. Style should be about what makes you feel good, cool, and confident. It’s meant to be fun and exploratory ❤️.”

Ballerini gave a shout-out to her stylists, Jill Petry, Mariel Haenn, and Rob Zangardi, for helping her maintain a polished look.

Kelsea Ballerini is just shy of two years into her 30s but already feels more grounded than she did in her 20s — and she has no desire to relive that decade. “I absolutely adore my thirties,” Ballerini, 31, shared exclusively with Us Weekly on Tuesday, July 15, reflecting on her experiences […]

At the event, she dazzled in a black strapless gown featuring a sweetheart neckline and a knot detail at the center. The dress also had a cutout across her midsection, showcasing her toned abs, along with a cinched skirt that had a thigh-high slit.

The stylish ensemble was complemented with crystal-embellished heels that had sheer pointed toes and additional rhinestone accents. Ballerini added to her sparkle with silver rings and diamond earrings and cuffs.

Her glam look featured a dewy makeup base, complete with bronzer and blush. She enhanced her eyes with soft eyeshadow and a smoky shade in her waterline, making her green eyes stand out, along with mascara. She finished off her makeup with glossy pink lips, while her blonde hair was styled in loose curls, parting it down the middle.
