Lizzo is taking a ‘gap 12 months’ – but it’s not as part of her fitness journey

Lizzo’s “gap year” doesn’t suggest a break from her fitness journey.

IN Instagram post In the video, which shows the singer standing on a balcony in Bali within the rain, surrounded by lush tropical greenery, Lizzo explained that she was “taking a gap year (and) protecting my peace.”

Until now, this meant lounging in a bikini by a posh pool.

“Unfortunately, I will be posting way too many bikini photos,” the “About Damn Time” singer warned within the video post during which she poses in a black bikini with a glass of wine.

But Lizzo’s break day also included some intense workouts. In posts to her Stories, she gave followers a taste of how she maintains her Bali regimen.

“Let’s jump rope in Bali,” she says within the video, before a sped-up montage of her jumping rope on a balcony plays, based on People Magazine.

“I keep breaking my ass… breaking my ass,” she said with a laugh, sweaty in a black bodysuit and sneakers.

“I’ve always loved moving my body. I’ve always loved working out,” Lizzo explained in TikTok“I’m very holistically aware, I’m very hippie and woo-woo when it comes to food and supplements and just thinking about my body and the environment, and I think a lot of people see a fat person that way and assume that everything they do is about being thin. I’m not trying to be thin. I never want to be thin.”

Grammy winner is right: While being chubby can increase health problems, ‘obesity and fitness can coexist,’ reports Cleveland ClinicAdditionally, various aspects, including race and ethnicity, can influence physical fitness.

Lizzo said her ultimate goal is to remain mentally healthy.

“When I started exercising for my mental health,” she continued, “to have balanced mental health or endorphins so I wouldn’t look at myself in the mirror and feel ashamed and disgusted with myself, exercise helped me change my mind, not my body. My body will change; everyone’s body changes. That’s life.”
