Putting in the Work: My Journey

Megan Thee Stallion has candidly shared her fitness journey on social media, showcasing the positive impact exercise has on her mental and physical well-being.

In 2021, she launched a Nike Core workout series. Following this, she revealed in 2024 during an interview with Women’s Health that her time in the gym has significantly boosted her emotional health.

“Working on myself made me focus my energy elsewhere,” she explained. “I used exercise as a way to escape and elevate my mood.” Megan and her boyfriend, Klay Thompson, frequently share their workout sessions on Instagram, inspiring others to embrace fitness.

Recently, during a photo shoot for her Dunkin Protein Milk collaboration, she spoke to EBONY about her evolving approach to fitness. Here are three key takeaways that can benefit anyone looking to enhance their workouts:

Dressing the Part: Feel Good, Work Out Better

Megan Thee Stallion: “Every time I go to the gym, I wear clothes that boost my confidence. Looking good while sweating really motivates me to push harder, especially during those last few squat reps.” So, choose workout attire that empowers you to feel great as you exercise.

Embrace Your Natural Self

“My skin is sensitive, and I avoid makeup when I work out. I show up as I am—whether in my natural hair or with fun colors. Feeling comfortable helps me focus on my performance instead of distractions,” she advises. Be true to yourself during workouts; your comfort is key to staying engaged.

Music to Motivate

Megan mentions, “My gym playlist is diverse, ranging from ‘Ain’t It Fun’ to ‘Poppin’ My Collar.’ I listen to anything that keeps my energy up while tackling my exercises.” Curate a playlist that excites you, as the right tunes can elevate your mood and stamina, whether you’re on the StairMaster or lifting weights.
