Sabrina Carpenter Flashes Abs in Two-Piece Outfit Giving "Endless Thank You's"
Sabrina Carpenter is celebrating her Netflix holiday special – in a two-piece outfit. In a new social media post the singer flashes her abs while posing with Chappell Roan while celebrating the success of her show, A Nonsense Christmas. "A Nonsense Christmas bts starring the sweetest guests there ever was! Endless thank you's to these lovely talented folks for being part of this special. Watch it now on @netflix," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps and videos. How does the Short and Sweet singer maintain her fantastic physique? Here are 10 of her top diet and fitness habits.
Gratitude List
Sabrina starts her day with a gratitude list. "This is very corny, but I do try to list things that I'm grateful for first thing in the morning, just so I can start off my day hopefully in an attempt to make it more positive, before anything else kind of gets into my head. It actually has [benefited] my days a lot, just by taking those couple seconds to do that, because I think otherwise it's very easy to read something that is either good or bad news, but it just affects you in a weird way," she told Marie Claire.

Baths
Sabrina soaks away her aches and pains. "I do love a bath. I think baths have been a life-saver to me," she told Marie Claire. Why should you consider taking one? Baths have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.
Exercise
Sabrina admits she is a "little [casual] with exercise," she tells Marie Claire. "It's not an every day thing by any means, but I try to balance it out however I can, and at least once or twice a week do something a little bit more disciplined. I will take a class of some sort, or do a workout at home."
Sleep
Sabrina makes sure to get her beauty sleep. "I love to pass out without distractions. I can't remember the last time I watched a TV show. By the end of the day, I feel like I've used up everything I have, so I just love sleep and getting to sleep as quickly as I can," she tells Marie Claire. "[My bedtime] definitely changes. I'm in an unpredictable era right now. It can be 9 p.m.; it can be 2 in the morning. [My body] definitely gravitates to, like, grandma. I get tired early, but now I have ways and tricks and coffee that will keep me up if I need to be up. I'm at this age where I'm… I definitely am disciplined, but I am trying to also remind myself that if there's a time in my life when I'm probably not going to sleep as much, it's probably now."
Water with Lemon in the Morning
No, Sabrina doesn't start her morning with a shot of espresso. Instead, her morning habit is "drinking ice cold water with lemon every morning." It "has been a very, very big staple in my life to make me feel like I'm awake, I'm alert, to wake up my skin, kind of get the blood pumping and flowing," she told Vogue.

Pilates
Sabrina loves Pilates. "I'll go to Pilates sometimes with friends of mine. I love working out with friends because it makes me feel like I'm not working out," she told Marie Claire. According to the Mayo Clinic, there are many benefits to the workout, such as it "strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health." It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.
Tea
"I went to Argentina when I was 17 and fell in love with this drink. I have a little refrigerator in my room full of the mint flavor. I prefer it over coffee because, for me, coffee can be a little hard to finish. It's heavier, whereas this is a lot lighter. This is on my rider — it's my everyday drink (that's not water). If I'm in the studio really late and I need to stay up, there's quite a lot of caffeine in it. It tastes like sweeter mint tea and feels like I'm doing a two-for-one: mouthwash and drinking something I enjoy," she told The Strategist.
Dancing
Obviously, Sabrina spends a lot of time dancing and rehearsing for her performances. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but it helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

Cold Plunges
Sabrina recently jumped on the cold plunge bandwagon. "I've started doing ice baths like a little spiritual man," she told Time. There is limited research supporting the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes basic post-sport recovery.
Strength Training
Sabrina is one of the many celebrities who strength-trains at The Dogpound. Here is a video of her and her sister, Sarah, working out together in New York, wearing ankle weights while doing donkey kicks, kettlebell squats, and more. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:
