Usher, is back with another confession! The singer is spilling some details on how he keeps his body just right. In an interview with WSJ. Magazine, Usher opens up about his health and wellness routine, which includes not eating any meals on Wednesdays.
While explaining the reason behind that, he shared that his fasting practice is not for religious purposes but rather something he inherited from his grandmother. “I fast on Wednesdays. I typically try to start around 11 p.m. the previous day, then go the entire day on Wednesday just drinking water.”
However, on days other than Wednesdays, the 45-year-old artist shared insights into the type of meals he enjoys in the mornings. . “I sometimes eat eggs scrambled with cheese,” he continued. “For the most part, I like them poached or over easy.” Though he admitted, “I don’t like to eat breakfast before I’ve worked out or done something physical,” he said, “taking a walk, stretching or doing yoga, sitting in the sun and raising my body’s natural heat levels. Then I eat.”

As for his fitness routine, Usher says it involves “walking or with certain knee activations and reverse walking that I do to really engage my quads, my knees and glutes. Other than that, swimming is a really good thing to get me going, and bike riding. Weight lifting, don’t do a lot of that.”
As much as he goes hard for a fit physic, he also puts in that same effort for his well-being. “I try to wake up early enough to have a moment of reflection,” he shared. “Some days I may grab a book and read to stimulate my mind. I may sit quietly and meditate.”
He continued, “One thing that is a frequent practice is yoga. It really does help to activate my organs and get my mind moving in the right direction—as Tony Robbins would say, ‘make my move,’ you know what I mean?”
Looks like this routine has been working as he continues to look and perform his best. Usher has taken on multiple gigs including his Las Vegas residency and the big Super Bowl halftime show. He also had ton of energy to tie the knot in the middle of all of that. At the end of it all, it’s safe to say that Usher knows exactly what he’s doing.
