Grammy-Award Winning Artist Adele Says She Can Deadlift 160 Pounds

Adele shared some fitness achievements during a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Adele has put together an incredible career in music that has spanned many years. She has won 15 Grammy’s and might not be done adding to that total. Adele recently released an album entitled “30” and promoted it during a performance during a CBS Special. The “One Night Only” event took place in Los Angeles. This is also where Adele sat down for an interview with Oprah Winfrey.

During the interview, the two discussed Adele’s incredible transformation where she has lost 100 pounds over the last two years. Adele spoke on the transformation and explained how her anxiety and overall mindset led to making some changes.

“I had the most terrifying anxiety attacks…paralyzed me completely.”

Over the last two years, Adele has put in some serious work in the gym and it is only natural to wonder what she has been lifting. Adele admitted that she was able to deadlift 160 pounds at her peak.

This was not her starting weight however. She admitted to putting in time at the Heart & Hustle gym in Los Angeles. Here, she was able to focus on training the right away and regaining the right mindset to do so.

 

During the interview, Adele explained how she did not begin this transformation to lose the weight initially. It was mostly about getting back in the right headspace. She said that going to the gym and working out added discipline and structure to her day-to-day life. Once she was in the swing of it all, it was just another routine to get into and results came quickly.

Adele did not follow a strict diet during her transformation. She was not too concerned with following a particular diet and often indulged in comfort food. This includes Chinese food, which she admitted to having the previous day before the event. Along with weight lifting, Adele confirms that she is a good boxer and that this was her preferred method of cardio.

Adele burst onto the scene in 2011 after releasing “21,” which was her second studio album. This took her career to the next level and it is still incredibly successful today. Adele continues to be one of the biggest names in music with a net worth close to $200 million.

Adele has been an inspiration to many and has done so in many ways. Her recent weight loss is just another amazing feat to add to the list.
