Adele, 34, was recently at (just another) monumental point in her career. The singer-songwriter was performing Weekends with Adele, a 4-month residency at the Colosseum at Ceasar’s Palace in Vegas, and was up for a whopping seven nominations for her album 30, at the 2023 Grammy Awards. Now, she’s riding around in a car with James Corden for his very last “Carpool Karaoke” episode. Talk about a wild ride.

Still, she seems to be enjoying her life right now, leaning into her relationship with Rich Paul, singing her heart out, and reconnecting with fans at her residency shows (she even teared up on stage because of a sweet fan interaction). Yes, Adele is, as always, living her best life.

The singer’s healthy lifestyle goes beyond drawing boundaries in her career. In 2021, Adele made waves after speaking publicly about her 100-pound weight loss–which made headlines in 2019. Since then, she’s shared the strategies that helped her reach her health goals and combat her anxiety. Spoiler: There was no magic diet fad involved. She lost weight over the course of two years by consistently lifting weights and doing circuit training.

“My body has been objectified my entire career,” she said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. The singer went on to say that her weight loss journey was something personal, and that she never felt like she “needed” to lose weight. “I was body positive [before my weight loss], and I’m body positive now.”

Here’s everything to know about Adele’s healthy lifestyle:

Adele made headlines for her weight loss in 2019.

The singer first turned heads at Drake’s birthday party in October of 2019, per Page Six. She later posted a photo of herself, presumably at the shindig, captioning it: “I used to cry but now I sweat 😂.”

Then, for her 32nd birthday in May 2020, Adele posted a more dramatic photo to thank her fans for all the love and well wishes, as well as the first responders and essential workers “for keeping us safe.”

Fans hardly recognized the singer in August 2020, when she posted a photo to congratulate Beyoncé on the release of Black Is King. “Thank you Queen for always making us all feel so loved through your art ♥️♥️,” she wrote in her caption.

Adele also posted a photo of herself in a bikini top with the Jamaican flag in 2020, as a tribute to the Notting Hill Carnival. “Happy what would be Notting Hill Carnival my beloved London 🇬🇧🇯🇲,” she wrote in the caption. One commenter added: “We’re happy she’s out here living her best life…. You look great hun….”

Adele appeared on SNL in October 2020, and fans were quick to comment on the singer’s weight loss.

She joked about it in her opening monologue as well. “I know I look really, really different since you last saw me,” Adele said. “But actually, because of all the Covid restrictions…I had to travel light and I could only bring half of me, and this is the half I chose.”

In July 2021, she showed off her happy and healthy self wearing a t-shirt to support the England national football team: “You did us so proud! You brought our game home and brought us all together 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ♥️,”

Adele’s weight loss is primarily due to her fitness routine.

The singer’s intense exercise regimen includes weight lifting and circuit training—moves she’s been working on for years, according to Vogue.

In another interview with British Vogue, Adele said that during the initial COVID quarantine, she worked out three times a day: “So I do my weights in the morning, then I normally hike or I box in the afternoon, and then I go and do my cardio at night,” she said. She added that she works with trainers like Greg Miele at Heart & Hustle gym in Los Angeles, California to get the most out of her sweat sessions, per Vogue. Go off, Adele! It’s worth noting that experts say it’s optimal to work out three to four times a week total for weight loss training.
