While a blue belt is admittedly not the highest achievement in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, it's impressive considering she's only been actively training for a little more than a year, according to Jiu-Jitsu Times. Generally speaking, Lovato is no stranger to an intense workout routine. She does mixed martial arts training at a Los Angeles gym several times a week, telling Us Weekly in May, "I feel the most confident when I'm in the gym. Whenever I'm training — whether it's boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu." (If you want to similarly learn how to train like a champion, check out our tips for how to work out like an MMA fighter.)

Lovato is also an advocate for combining maintaining an active lifestyle with body positivity. In April, she posted an update on her fitness progress with a post-workout bikini selfie. “No filter no edit, love your body the way it is,” she wrote (though we applaud the latter sentiment, we’re admittedly a liiiiitle skeptical about the former. I mean, come on, she definitely used Amaro.)
Lovato has also collaborated with the fitness apparel line Fabletics on women’s workout clothes, regularly posting photos of herself in a workout bra and yoga pants on Instagram.
We appreciate your commitment to fitness, Demi. Also, your commitment to showing your abs, because they are bonkers.
