Miley Cyrus lives an incredibly active lifestyle.
The 24-year-old singer may be busy promoting her new album out Friday, singing at various events, and serving as a coach on NBC's "The Voice," but that doesn't stop her from keeping up with her regular exercises.
Here's how Cyrus stays fit and healthy.
1. The singer is an avid yogi.
She regularly practices Ashtanga yoga, a physically demanding yoga style that helps with core strength. Through practice and dedication, her strength and flexibility have impressively increased. The yogi often shares photos and videos of herself doing poses on her Instagram.
In March 2016, she wrote, "Gotta do yoga not for my body but for my mind! DO YOGA or GO CRAZY!"
During the 2016 holiday season, she used the platform to share her regret about taking a 10-day break from her regular exercises.
"I will NEVER not practice for 10 days EVER again!" she captioned a photo. "Today I got my A--tanga kicked"
2. Cyrus also takes advantage of the various hiking trails in the Los Angeles area.
Whether exercising with her sister Brandi Cyrus and some of their dogs or her fiancé Liam Hemsworth and some of their pets, she's often spotted out on the trails.
3. Pilates has been a big part of her life.
Cyrus has shown off her toned abs for years, frequenting pilates classes.
In a 2013 interview with People, LA-based pilates instructor Mari Winsor spoke about getting Cyrus in shape. The pop star was often seen leaving Winsor's pilates studio, but later installed her own studio in her home, and worked out five to six days a week.
"When we work out, we don't just do a couple of moves," Winsor said. "It’s at least a half an hour of working out…You have to learn how to not just tighten up your tummy but actually pull your tummy in to your lower back as much as you can. Just doing 40 crunches a day isn’t gonna do it for you."
4. She is a dedicated vegan.
Cyrus transitioned into a vegan lifestyle in 2014 and has stuck with it since. The singer even documented her commitment with a tattoo symbolizing veganism in 2017. She credits veganism with keeping her healthy.
"By not consuming animal products over the years I have protected myself from preventable diseases," she wrote in a photo caption in 2017.
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) even made a post featuring examples of times Cyrus posted about veganism on her social pages.
5. She recently stepped away from drinking alcohol and smoking weed.
Cyrus' affinity for marijuana and other drugs has been documented in the public eye for years. In a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone, Cyrus talked about her love of "happy drugs."
"I think weed is the best drug on earth," she said. "One time I smoked a joint with peyote in it, and I saw a wolf howling at the moon. Hollywood is a coke town, but weed is so much better. And molly, too. Those are happy drugs – social drugs. They make you want to be with friends."
But in a 2017 interview with Billboard, Cyrus revealed that she stepped away from the drugs and the alcohol for a time.
"I haven't smoked weed in three weeks, which is the longest I've ever [gone without it]," she said at the time. "I'm not doing drugs, I'm not drinking, I'm completely clean right now."
