Now that her tour and “The Voice” coaching gig are behind her, Kelsea Ballerini is changing up her workouts and has her sights set on a new sport this summer. Find out how the singer plans to stay in shape.
Kelsea Ballerini Is Ready to Give Tennis a Try
In a June 2025 interview with E! Online, Ballerini shared some of her health and fitness secrets — and revealed that she’ll be giving one sport a try for the first time.
“I’m going to try tennis,” she said. “I’ve never tried tennis before, so I just ordered a racket and I’m gonna try that.”
The singer also shared her positive philosophy about her health, which includes following an 80/20 rule.
“I’m in this phase where I think 80/20,” Ballerini said. “Eighty percent really being mindful — in health as a whole scope, not just fueling your body and moving, but just taking care of your mental, taking care of your life, your relationships, all that stuff.”
She added, “And then 20 percent, go have fun.”
Kelsea Ballerini Says She Prioritized Sleep During Her Tour
Ballerini also revealed that she put rest above everything else while on tour.
“When I was on tour, I was much more regimented. Sleep was my number one. Everything came second to that, because if I didn’t get enough sleep, I was not a person the next day.”
She shared that her workouts were a little less intense because performing was a workout in itself.
“I wasn’t too intense on my body, because I was moving every night on stage for 90 minutes,” she explained. “So I would put on my little ankle weights, crack my Celsius [energy drink], and I would walk the arena.”
Ballerini added, “I developed this little habit of going up to the top seat every night and watching the trucks load the stage in.”
During a May 29 appearance on “Today With Jenna & Friends,” Ballerini admitted, “I need a break!”
Now that she’s done with “The Voice” and touring, she’s thinking about some downtime. “And I’ve never been able to say that before, but I really think that it’s time for me to just pump the brakes, figure out what’s next, take the time to just have a summer, what?! To go to the beach? Huh? Learn to cook a new meal, hang out with the dogs, so that’s kind of my agenda,” Ballerini said.
She noted, “But every time I say that I have time off, something happens.”
The singer added, “But I’m very open to whatever is out there.”
