Gospel music has a far reach; in both the US and the world. Many artists on our top ten list are Grammy nominees and winners, and have sold millions of records both nationally and worldwide. As a result, these people are viewed as influences and role models, so it is their responsibility to be a good role model in health and fitness to influence their audience.

We have compiled a list of the top ten gospel singers who we find to currently live the healthiest, by eating well and working out regularly. We chose these singers by researching all available data online: from magazine interviews, to video interviews and even to personal websites. Some singers did not necessarily start off as healthy. Quite a few had some health problems along the way; however, those represented on the list have demonstrated that they now live actively healthy lifestyles.

“Spiritual awareness is one of the key components of a healthy lifestyle that impacts the whole body and rejuvenates the spirit. Physical fitness and healthy nutrition allows that spirit to flourish to new dimensions and many people experience a closer relationship to God.” -Samir Becic

Samir Becic, the acclaimed author of the health and fitness book ReSYNC Your Life and a prominent figure in the health and fitness realm, recognizes how great an example these legendary action stars are to fans around the world. He believes, “With physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle, chronological age becomes irrelevant, and all that matters is how you feel – which is your biological age. By definition, one’s biological age is determined by physiology rather than chronology; factors of biological aging include changes in the physical structure of the body, as well as changes in the performance of motor skills and sensory awareness. These men are examples of what physical fitness can accomplish at ANY age and they are an inspiration to millions of people worldwide.”

Recognizing its significant influence on overall well-being, we have taken into account the mental health aspect while crafting this prestigious list.

I really like them because you’re always trying to learn a new skill, which makes things more interesting rather than just repeat, repeat, repeat. It’s such a difficult piece of apparatus to master. I’m getting better, but I need a bit more time in the saddle before I can show you pictures of the iron cross…

Founder of Health Fitness Revolution, Samir Becic, strongly emphasizes the significance of the President’s Council on Sports Fitness and Nutrition for American health. He states: “With obesity rates reaching 41.9% in our nation and recognizing the severe health conditions associated with it, such as heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, stroke, and certain types of cancer, I believe that this council stands as one of the most critical entities in the United States. Moreover, the financial burden of obesity is staggering, with an annual medical cost of nearly $173 billion in 2019. A recent report from the CDC in 2020 also revealed that 19.7% of children and adolescents aged 2-19 were affected by obesity, amounting to approximately 14.7 million youth. These young people represent the future of our country, and it is imperative that we extend our support to them now.”

Join us as we delve into the stories and accomplishments of these remarkable council members, who are shaping the future of health and fitness in our country.

Over the past few years, videos and photos of Tyson’s training sessions have gone viral on social media. It’s clear he still possesses the lightning-fast hands and intimidating physicality that made him one of the most feared boxers of all time in his prime.

While an actual comeback fight seems unlikely, Tyson says getting back in shape is as much about his mental health as his physical fitness. After years of substance abuse and personal battles, staying active in the gym keeps his mind- and body- sharp.

Health Fitness Revolution founder and 4 x #1 Fitness Trainer in America Samir Becic has this to say of the boxing champion “I agree with the boxing legend George Foreman! Mike Tyson was like biomechanical machine (cyborg)- indestructible!”

In addition to training, Tyson has found a new creative outlet – his podcast “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson.” Launched in 2019, the podcast has taken off and given fans a glimpse into the complex personality behind the intimidating boxing persona. On the show, Tyson interviews celebrities from the sports and entertainment worlds while partaking in the occasional smoke session. But it’s much more than just an opportunity to get high – through open and honest conversations, Tyson has shown a cerebral, introspective side fans rarely saw during his fighting days.

Now clean and sober from cocaine, the podcast has become Tyson’s stage to share lessons learned from his incredible career and life experiences. At a time when many his age would consider retirement, Mike Tyson is proving you’re only as old as you feel through his incredible physical comeback and new creative ventures. His journey serves as an inspiration that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself.

Without further ado, here is Dua Lipa’s workout routine:

Begins her day by being active

“Whether it’s on Zoom, doing a workout with my friend Ella in L.A. who leads a kickass workout class called Sculpt With Ella, or with my best friend Bunny who comes over to train me on days when I’m feeling super lazy and need someone to get me motivated, getting physical really starts my day off right,” she told Refinery29.

She dances… A LOT

The dance routines in her show require some serious endurance- and undoubtedly burn a lot of calories! Being on stage every night is a workout in itself- and she says she abstains from any partying to be able to handle the rigorous tour schedule.

She varies her workouts

Dua Lipa enjoys switching it up- she varies her workouts whenever she can “When I have a tiny bit more time on my side I love mixing up lots of different training, finding different workouts in whatever city I’m in, whether it’s yoga, Pilates, boxing or spinning,” the singer has said. “Whatever it is, I try to change it up every day to keep things interesting. When you’re on a tour bus, every day and every place is different, so you never know what you’re going to find. That’s always one way to keep it interesting.”

Boxing

Boxing has both physical and mental benefits which Dua appreciates “I love boxing in my spare time. I like doing it for fitness [and] I like doing it just to kinda clear my mind. I really enjoy it. I like that it’s definitely a full body workout. Since starting boxing I’ve probably been in the best shape ever. It’s also a great stress reliever,” she has said.

Yoga

Dua benefits so much from her yoga daily practice that the 26-year-old pop star has enlisted the help of Anabella Landa, who runs a company called Annie Moves Yoga, to keep her in the best possible shape for her performance on the ‘Future Nostalgia’ tour – which will run across the globe until November. She shared her 5 favorite poses in her newsletter and also shared her love for inversions “A core-strengthening exercise I do every day,” she wrote. “Inverting myself also does it for my mind; it gives me both a literal and metaphorical different perspective to life, bringing it full cycle as I work on my strength, balance and focus.”

Core Work

Most of Dua’s workouts include a range of ab moves. Speaking to Viva, she explained how she keeps her tummy strong using a ‘variation of crunches.’ She has said “I think different variations of crunches like bicycle crunches are good. Leg raises are also great unless my back hurts. Planks are good although almost certainly my least favourite!” 

HIIT

She enjoys quick workouts and fitting them in efficiently “I love doing something that’s really fast and quick, like a 15-minute HIIT session, which I can do before I start my day,” she said in an interview with Viva. “If I’ve got a really early call time, I don’t want to be waking up hours before I need to, to go and do a workout.” In 2017, she told Vogue. ‘It’s so quick, it’s over before it’s even started!’ Jumping jacks, mountain climbers and burpees are staples of her standard HIIT routine.

Strength Training/ Weights

One non-negotiable of Dua’s routine is doing a good strength session at 7 am with her trainer, PMAC. Dua said, per Refinery29, ‘getting physical really starts my day off right’.

She is active every day with her dog

Dua often gets out for a stroll with her dog, Dexter, first thing. In May 2021, she said: ‘Our walks are the perfect way to get my mind right for the day ahead…while walking, I make a mental list of my intentions for the day.’

The Bachelorette Season 18 is in full swing, and Michelle Young has officially begun her journey to finding love. With her own background in college athletics, it’s no surprise that many of the men chosen for her season are super fit.

While we did the tough grunt work and were able to decipher the Top 8 Fittest Men vying for her heart this fall, we were also curious about our leading lady! What does Michelle Young do to stay fit? We’ve seen her chiseled arms and athletic build- and now we know how she keeps her 5’9″ frame lean and strong:

• Michelle played Division I basketball at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois from 2011 to 2015. There, she won over 12 awards for her skills on the court. Currently, she is the highest scorer in the school’s overall athletic history.
• Ahead of her basketball career at Bradley, Michelle earned all-state honors for her high school team and was named MVP.
• Growing up immersed in sports gave her a solid foundation to a healthy, active lifestyle.
• Goes to the gym
• Lifts weights
• Plays club basketball
• Plays kickball
• Loves hiking
• She’s hoping to find someone who can compliment her active lifestyle. In an interview, Michelle said “Not that you have to be this chiseled, athletic person, but I want you to be able to live a fit lifestyle. You have to be able to keep up with me!”
• During a March appearance on the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast, Michelle told the hosts that she is looking for a partner who can appreciate her athletic background. She specifically commented “I want [my partner] to be able to live a fit lifestyle with me because I think that’s something that can hold two people together. When life gets busy and you both are going to work and you have all these other things going on, being able to go to the gym together and knock out a quick workout is something that I would love to have in my partner.”

Season 18 of The Bachelorette is in full swing and will continue airing on primetime TV throughout the fall on Tuesdays at 8 pm E.T. Michelle Young’s season features a diverse group of men from all over North America, but one thing a few of them have in common is their love of fitness and staying active.

Obviously, this article was written by the girls in the office since we all watched the premiere and chose our favorites- but we still had to run it by Houston’s Official “Fitness Czar”, 4 X #1 Fitness Trainer in America, and HFR founder Samir Becic to get his… expert opinion on it. He vetted these guys and put his professional stamp of approval on their fitness acumen.

Mirror, mirror on the wall… who is the fittest contestant of them all? Keep reading to see which of Michelle Young’s contestants lead the most active lifestyles (in no particular order):

This former NFL Seattle Seahawks tight end is undoubtedly in great shape- his Instagram features several workout videos and even posts explaining how bodybuilding works. In his LinkedIn bio, Claytons also describes his love for healthy living “When I am not spending time in the OR, working on my MBA and/or working out, I enjoy hiking and biking on the nature trails around the Columbia area. I make it my duty to emphasize living a healthy lifestyle, therefore I exercise daily and am in the process of learning to cook healthy meals that also surprisingly have flavor!”
