Avril Lavigne has one hot body and is rightly showing it off on her vacation in the South of France.
And the singer gave a hint as to how she got her physique into such great shape by engaging in a push-up competition with a female friend on board
a luxury yacht in St. Tropez yesterday.
The 26-year-old Sk8er Boi songstress completed the exercises with ease which she performed while wearing a flattering purple and black bikini.
Avril later took a dip in the crystal blue sea and enjoyed soaking up the Mediterranean sunshine.
It also seems like Avril is set to sail into familiar territory and affectionately embraced ex-husband Deryck Whibley who joined her on ocean ride.
The toned singer couldn't stop smiling as she exchanged glances and chatted with the Sum 41 rocker.
The What the Hell singer has been enjoying a trip along the French Riviera with friends for several days, but her boyfriend of one year, Brody Jenner has been strangely absent.
Just last week she and Brody were spotted looking loved-up in Toronto, Canada, where she was performing at the MuchMusic Awards.
Perhaps the star is taking time to relax before recording her next album - the sequel to this year's Goodbye Lullaby.
'I already have eight songs,' she recently told her fansite. 'I would like to release the fifth album really quick.'
She added: 'This record was more mellow, and the next one will be pop and more fun again. I already have a song that I know is going to be a single, I just need to re-record it!'
Avril has been dating Brody since February last year following her split with Deryck Whibley, a guitarist.
The couple were married for just over three years before announcing their split in September 2009 with their divorce finalised in November 2010.
The singer says writing songs about the emotional experience helped her through the split along with confiding in her girlfriends.
'They were there for me,' she told TV Week magazine. 'It did me really good to be able to tell them everything.
'It helped me come to terms with the things that had happened.'
She added: 'It also helped put my feelings down in paper. It was comforting. It's always been like that for me.
'When I was a kid, I had my diary to confide everything in. Now I write songs. It really was a form of healing.'
What she writes in her diary about the two men in her life would make fascinating reading indeed.
But one thing's for sure, she won't be able to forget Jenner easily if the couple do break up.
Avril has Brody's name tattooed on her ribs, while he returns the gesture with her name inked on his arm.
