‘The Category Is Bodyyy’: Fans Swoon Over Michelle Williams’ Light Gym Attire Flex

Destiny’s Child group member Michelle Williams is not losing sight of her intentions for the new year, and that includes working on her physique.

The singer posted a photo to Instagram showing her slim and toned figure in athletic gear. She captioned the photo: “Don’t see what I want to see right now but that doesn’t mean I stop working for it!”

Fans who adore the singer flooded her with comments complimenting her physique.

“The category is BODYYY”

“The abs always been 🔥 though”

“OMG my belle!! We can’t handle it 😍❤️”

“Okay Tenitra we see you SNATCHED TO THE GAWDS”

While some on social media may be confused as to how much more perfect Williams’ body can be, the singer has been outspoken about fitness also doing good for her body on the inside.

After dealing with a public breakup from her ex-fiancé Chad Johnson in 2018, she found herself struggling with her mental health. Aside from taking a break from the hustle and bustle of her schedule, Williams poured into herself by using exercise to uplift her spirits.

“I know there will be at least one comment that says ‘Michelle, you’re slim so you don’t need to work out,’” wrote Williams on a photo posted to IG in 2019. She went on to explain looking in the mirror after a workout is more than skin deep.

“I actually work out because of how I feel afterwards. Yes, the physical results I see in the mirror are cool but the place I was in mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally in December is different from where I am today!”

Since then, the 41-year-old has made it a point to share some of her workouts and words of encouragement to her following. Her supporters are more than willing to return the favor.

“I see a survivor 💪🏽”

“you look great michelle ! ❤️”

“We see beauty outside and inside ❤️”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
