When Lizzo posed for the summer 2025 cover of Women’s Health, she made one thing abundantly clear: She loves her body at every size. Yes, she had recently “released” (her word) weight and gained strength working with personal trainer Marvin Telp, but the 38-year-old also acknowledged the possibility that she could gain that weight back in the future—and that it would be just fine with her. Flash forward to now, and Lizzo’s body has changed.
She’s about 20 pounds heavier, she tells Women’s Health, and she feels great. And, so do our workout routines right alongside them. Here’s the latest on Lizzo’s.
After sustaining an unspecified (and minor, she says!) injury earlier this year, Lizzo has had to take it a bit easier during her workouts. In place of her former high-intensity lifting workouts, Lizzo is now focusing on functional movements with her physical therapist, whom she trains with twice a week. Using bands or light weights, the two move through a battery of exercises that include chest presses, squats, monster walks, bird dogs, and dead bugs to hit arms, legs, and core, and rebuild her strength.
Outside of the gym, Lizzo does yoga and meditation daily—“non-negotiables,” she calls them. Her routine certainly looks different, favoring lighter weights and lower-impact activities like stretching, swimming, and walking as she waits to heal. But, Lizzo is just as committed to today’s workouts as she was to the ones of her past.
I'm going to get better.’” Plus, she’s gearing up to go back to the weight room full-force soon. Yup, Lizzo is getting in on the running boom too. While her dream is to run the race, she’s not currently cleared by her trainer to do so because of her injury.
Ideally, she can run/walk it, but again, she’s thinking about the bigger picture and being thoughtful about how hard she pushes herself. To that end, Lizzo walks at least three times a week in preparation. She hits the 3.1-mile distance frequently at home and even when traveling.
