The singer shared how she stays in incredible shape during a question-and-answer session at a concert
Katy Perry has revealed how she stays in incredible shape. The superstar shared her workout routine with fans during a question-and-answer session filmed for her ITV special, Katy Perry: Night of a Lifetime.
The programme, now streaming on ITVX, saw the singer perform an exclusive concert at Central Hall Westminster ahead of The Lifetimes Tour which arrives in the UK next year. She performed a mix of her classic hits and songs from her new album for the special occasion, and there were lots of famous faces in attendance, including her husband Orlando Bloom.
At one point in the evening, BBC pundit and football legend Alex Scott was offered the chance to ask the singer a question. “When I played football for England it was always about being in tip-top shape. We know you’re doing a world tour next year. So how do you get in shape for those big performances?” she questioned.
Perry replied: “I hate working out. Orlando loves working out. I love to dance, swim, all those things that don’t feel like you’re working out, like going on a hike with your friends. I did hear that my biceps were going around on the internet. So that’s a little bit from my swimming. But I know I will be getting in my cardio and you will too. You will be getting in all your steps at The Lifetimes Tour. It’s going to be a dance party.”
While the singer couldn’t sum up everything she does to look after her health in just a few minutes, it’s true that incorporating fun exercises such as swimming into your routine can have a significant impact on your health.

Research from the Swimming and Health Commission suggests that ‘swimming may be associated with a decrease in early death due to cardiovascular disease and any other cause’. The experts also said there’s ’emerging scientific data for the physical and mental health benefits of swimming’.
Or as the NHS puts it, “Exercise can reduce your risk of major illnesses, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and cancer, and lower your risk of early death by up to 30% (…) Research also shows that physical activity can boost self-esteem, mood, sleep quality and energy, as well as reducing your risk of stress.”
