People Editorial Guidelines Published on July 16, 2019 11:55AM EDT Britney Spears is passing her own fitness challenges with flying colors. The pop star has long been known to share her workouts with her Instagram followers, and on Monday, she revealed she had successfully challenged herself to spend a little extra time with one thing she typically dreads: the treadmill. Spears, 37, posted a video on Monday that she filmed while running on the treadmill in a gray sports bra and black pants. The singer said that she typically runs for 15 minutes before taking a break for various floor exercises. Then, she’ll hop back on the treadmill for another 15 minutes — but today, she wanted to go 30. “Excuse the no makeup and the obnoxiously walking on the treadmill really, really fast, but right now, I’m just going 15 minutes on the treadmill,” she said. “Usually my base workout is 15 minutes on the treadmill and then I get off and do stretching, yoga, arms, a little Pilates.” She continued, “I get back on again and do another 15 minutes. But today my challenge is to go 30. Do you think I can do it? The video then flashed to Spears lifting weights in as sped-up time lapse video set to electronic music. Britney Spears.

Britney Spears Shares the Foods She Says Helped Her Drop Weight She’d ‘Been Wanting to Lose’ She previously revealed that she’s not a fan of cardio, and prefers isolated, repetitive movements. “My body has muscle memory, cus I use it be [sic] a gymnast and I can bulk up … so I like isolated movement,” she captioned an Instagram video last month. “The key to my workout is repetition, but that gets boring so have a booklet I’ve made with all my favorite exercises. I usually wear headphones … music takes me away.”
