Tones and I has given fans a glimpse into her workout routine after undergoing a physical transformation.
The singer, real name Toni Watson, shared an Instagram album on Tuesday showing off some highlights from her recent summer holiday – including a backyard workout with weights and gym mat.
In one image, the 32-year-old was seen posing in a slinky silk floral-printed dress, while another showed her in a golf cart during a game.

Tones opened up in an interview last year about why she’s shied away from public attention since Dance Monkey skyrocketed her to worldwide fame in 2019.
“Honestly, I just think that when everything happened at the start of my career, people were just making so much out of nothing and mention my name was just something everyone did at a certain point in time, and I just hated that feeling,” she said on Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne’s Life Uncut podcast back in March.
“It made me feel so disgusting and so like I didn’t like it. I wanted to stay underground and I felt dirty when people made up sh*t about me and I felt gross.”
In the same interview, Tones also said that scrutiny over her appearance and her choice of clothing had weighed heavily on her.
“I was so out of my comfort zone, I looked like I just crawled out of the gutter. I didn’t have an aesthetic or a style, I was a chubby little girl from the street. You just put me up and then you just smash me so far down, like I didn’t have a say in anything,” she recalled.
“With me specifically, people were so offended by how I looked that I started pre-empting what people would think before anything was even out. And I judged myself as harsh as I could so I was really prepared for all that criticism. Then it wasn’t a tactic anymore.
“I started hating myself so badly that anything I did, I just couldn’t see a positive reaction to anything.”
Tones’ latest Instagram album follows a difficult few months for the star, during which she suffered a tragic miscarriage before the “biggest show” of her career in November.
At the time, she explained that she had been in final dress rehearsals for the Melbourne show of her Australian arena tour, at Rod Laver Arena, when something felt very wrong.
Surrounded by “30 choir, 30 dancers and 50 crew”, she reached a point rehearsing the show where she had to hit a big note.
“As I hit the big note I felt blood running down my legs, usually an awkward but manageable situation especially since this was a rehearsal and not a show, except. I was nine weeks pregnant,” she wrote.
“But here I was almost 100 per cent I was having a miscarriage the night before the biggest show of my career.”
Tones and her husband of two years, Jimmy Bedford, immediately left the rehearsal and raced to hospital, where she was told she was having a miscarriage.
The next morning, on around 11am on the day the show was due to take place, Tones was advised that she needed to rest up and the concert would need to be cancelled.
While she said she was “not condoning going against doctors advice by any means,” she said she knew “ there was no way I could let everyone down”.
The singer said she told just three people around her on that night about what had just happened.
“I wanted it to be a night I would never forget. I have to say thank you to my team and my family for lifting me through what was truly one of my biggest triumphs and my saddest moments.”
