  • Janelle Monae is not holding anything back this summer as she gears up for a big tour.

  • The singer, 37, posted a tour poster on Instagram that showed off their seriously strong abs (and some sideboob) in a topless photo.

  • Janelle isn't a huge fan of the gym but leads a very active lifestyle.


Janelle Monae is about to go on tour—and the star made sure to drop an epic new poster on Instagram to let people know.

Janelle, who is nonbinary and whose pronouns are they/them and she/her, looks seriously strong in the photo. The pic features a topless shot, and puts the singer's sculpted legs and jacked abs on full display. “THE AGE OF PLEASURE TOUR is comingggg😛,” they wrote in the caption. (The tour kicks off at the end of August, by the way!)

People were sure to cheer Janelle on in the comments. “SHEESH!!!” one person wrote, while another simply wrote, “🔥🔥🔥.”

Janelle worked those same short-shorts in another Instagram post, and flashed super-strong legs in that shot, too.

So, what kinds of routines are involved in creating Janelle's full-body muscle tone? Janelle previously told Shape that it's all about leading an active lifestyle. While they're not big on the gym, daily movement can look a bit different to different people. “I like exercising when I don't know I'm exercising,” the singer said. “I love being onstage and dancing. I love going out dancing. I don't like doing things in a gym.”

The 37-year-old star then echoed all those same thoughts when speaking to Balance the Grind. “I do a lot of heavy sweating up on stage,” Janelle said. "We do 90-minute shows—I’m moving around and it’s very high-energy... That often becomes my workout, just performing and being onstage. I guess you can say I exercise a lot, but really, I don’t realize I’m getting a workout while I’m dancing onstage because I’m always having so much fun."

Janelle is mindful to keep a super nutrient-rich diet, too. “I try to keep a healthy, balanced diet on the road, though it can sometimes be hard,” the singer told Balance the Grind. “I try to eat a lot of salads while I’m traveling, but when I need a light, fluffy snack, I reach for my pita chips and hummus.”

Worth noting: Janelle is definitely big on hydration, too. “I sip [water] a lot, especially when I’m flying, since airplane travel can dry out your voice like crazy,” she said.

Overall, Janelle just has a healthy approach to wellness. “Mental and physical health is a journey, not a destination,” the singer told Shape. “I don't have to be the most thin person. My shape doesn't have to be what you think it should be. I am on a journey, and the journey itself is the reward. The journey is the lesson."

Can’t wait for the tour, Janelle!
