Adele Utilized Pilates and Cardio To Lose 20 Pounds This Year

From Woman's Day

In case you haven't heard, British singer Adele has reportedly lost about 20 pounds, according to Us Weekly. While she looks great at any size, she debuted a noticeably slimmer figure at Drake's birthday party on October 23.

At the party, Adele stunned in a long, black off-the-shoulder gown paired with black heels and a sleek, high ponytail. She shared a photo of her look on Instagram, and the star is literally glowing. She posed in her signature cat-eye makeup and pursed her lips. "I used to cry but now I sweat 😂," Adele wrote in the caption.

The singer's weight loss comes a few months after her split from ex-husband Simon Konecki in April. The two were married for two years and share a 7-year-old son, Angelo Adkins, together.

Adele also recently showed off her amazing figure in a skin-tight Captain Hook costume at Lebron James's annual Halloween party. Dressed in the red leopard jumpsuit, she wore a long, curly wig with dramatic eye makeup and a large hat. Yep, she basically won Halloween.

While Adele hasn't spoken publicly about her weight loss, the star allegedly began losing weight this summer. In July, Us Weekly reported that she lost 14 pounds after her split from Konecki. Here's everything we know about Adele's weight loss.

She intensified her workouts.

According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, Adele has started exercising three times a week. “Adele never cared about or liked working out,” the source said. But it has become a part of her weekly routine. “She does 60-minute sessions that include cardio, circuit training, and Pilates ... She’s found a routine that’s working for her and is enjoying it more.”

In an interview with Vogue in 2016, Adele said that she was working out to stay in shape for her performances, which resulted in weight loss. “I was trying to get some stamina for my tour, so I lost a bit of weight. Now I fit into normal, off-the-shelf clothes — which is a really big problem for me!” she shared.

She focuses on being healthy and happy.

While some may speculate that Adele's recent weight loss is due to her breakup, Us Weekly says it's more to do with being the best mom she can be. “She really wants to be healthy and set a good example for her son,” the source said to Us Weekly. “She’s more focused on feeling good and the health benefits than the weight loss.”

As the star celebrated her 31st birthday in May, she's owning who she is after a rough year. "I’ve changed drastically in the last couple years and I’m still changing and that’s okay. 31 is going to be a big ol’ year and I’m going to spend it all on myself," she wrote in an Instagram post on her birthday.

"For the first time in a decade I’m ready to feel the world around me and look up for once. Be kind to yourself, people we’re only human, go slow, put your phone down and laugh out loud at every opportunity," she continued. "Learning to REALLY truly love yourself is it, and I’ve only just realized that that is more than enough."
