Ellie Goulding in Tank Top Shares Boxing Workout

Ellie Goulding is packing a punch – in her workout ensemble. In a new social media post the singer shows off her incredible body – and impressive strength – during a grueling boxing workout session. “No cap,” she captioned the Instagram video, tagging her trainer, Ruth London. What do you need to know about the Lights singer’s go-to workout and everything else she does to stay fit? Celebwell has the answers.

1. Ellie Has Been Boxing for Many Years

Goulding has been boxing for years. “I start my day training at the gym,” she told People. “Somehow I’m a natural at boxing. Who knew? I feel like constantly sweating is good for getting toxins out. I like to drink and do things that a lot of women do, and that helps counteract that.”

2. She Feels Empowered

The singer explains that the workout also empowers her. “I hit hard,” Goulding added. “The idea of being physically strong and capable of defending myself gives me a real sense of empowerment, which is so different from the profound vulnerability I have when I’m by myself writing music.” She makes sure to hydrate during her grueling sessions. “I sweat like crazy,” she said.

3. Boxing Is a Great Workout for Several Reason

Why is boxing a good workout? Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness. "This kind of boxing has many health benefits because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital says."You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs.”

4. Ellie Also Does HIIT Workouts

Ellie is a fan of high-intensity interval training (HIIT). “I’ll run to Faisal’s class (at Barry’s Bootcamp) in the morning. It’s only about 25 minutes from home and it gets my heart rate up enough to go in and be ready because it’s quite tough,” she told Women’s Health UK. “I’m more of a burst girl than sustained. I like it when the treadmills on dynamic and I do sprints. I prefer using my own body as weight, so press-ups, mountain climbers and burpees.”

5. She Fasts, Eats Mostly Plant-Based, and Avoids Most Carbs

Ellie is all about fasting. “I built my way up to 40-hour fasts over time (started with 12),” Ellie told The Mirror. “It helps blood sugar control and helps fight inflammation – the mother of ALL health problems.” She says she does it “very safely by having a purposefully nutritious food day the day before and after,” she added. “On the fast day, I drink high-grade electrolytes and a LOT of water,” plus tea and coffee. “Fasting is safe and beneficial unless you are diabetic or have serious health issues,” she continued. It gives her “digestive system a break,” she says. She also avoids most animal products. "I eat a lot of things for their nutritional value. The things I love for my taste are sweet things," she told Jessie Ware on her Table Manners podcast.. While she does consume some dairy now, she still doesn’t eat red meat. "I'm all about dairy….I'm not mad about coconut yogurt and all those dairy-free alternatives,” she added. "In the morning, I'll have a messy bowl which is yogurt with lots of goji berries and nuts and I love prunes and dates."

Ellie Goulding is fighting for her body – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the singer shows off her amazing body in boxing shorts and a tank during a grueling boxing workout with her trainer. “You just know a lot of men have tested me 💝,” she jokes in the comments section of the Instagram post. How does the singer approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. HIIT Workouts

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is one of Ellie’s go-to methods. “I’ll run to Faisal’s class (at Barry’s Bootcamp) in the morning. It’s only about 25 minutes from home and it gets my heart rate up enough to go in and be ready because it’s quite tough,” she told Women’s Health UK. “I’m more of a burst girl than sustained. I like it when the treadmills on dynamic and I do sprints. I prefer using my own body as weight, so press-ups, mountain climbers and burpees.” There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.

3. Low Carb Diet

Ellie doesn’t eat carbs. "I can't remember the last time I ate bread either, honestly," she confessed to Jessie Ware on her Table Manners podcast. "When I eat carbs - it's not just a vanity thing - I genuinely don't feel great when I have them. I feel like I'm someone who's naturally quite active. When I have big bowls of pasta and things like that I do feel like I've eaten a blanket or something really heavy."

4. Mostly Plant-Based Diet

Ellie tries to avoid animal products. "I eat a lot of things for their nutritional value. The things I love for my taste are sweet things," she said on the podcast. While she does consume some dairy now, she still doesn’t eat red meat. "I'm all about dairy….I'm not mad about coconut yogurt and all those dairy-free alternatives,” she added. "In the morning, I'll have a messy bowl which is yogurt with lots of goji berries and nuts and I love prunes and dates."

Read on to see 5 ways Ellie Goulding stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Runs

Goulding shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with The Cut. She says that she likes to run in the morning. “My morning routine will be some kind of workout, whether it’s Barry’s, yoga, or even a run outside. I go between New York and London so there’s always interesting runs to do. At the moment I’m loving running to Goldie’s ‘I Adore You.’ I’m such a big fan of old-school U.K. drum and bass. I usually use the Apple/Nike watch to track my runs.”

2. She Believes In Balance

Goulding tells The Cut that balance is an important part of her wellness routine. “I’m all about balance — in my life, my fitness regime, and my diet,” she said. “I’m of the mind-set that you can take care of yourself without going too overboard. While I definitely care about what I put in my body for instance, I do really love sweet things.”

3. She Makes Smoothies

Goulding loves to make smoothies for breakfast. She shared her smoothie recipe in her interview with The Cut. “I’m not really a massive breakfast person but if I do it, I’ll go for something like fruit or a smoothie. I’ll shove a bunch of things in a NutriBullet — kale, cucumber, water. I try and have a smoothie every day, it’s really filling with protein powder. I love using Vega, because it is vegan and tastes fantastic, and maca powder. Spirulina doesn’t taste great but can easily be masked by a banana and some almond butter. I try to get my greens in very quickly, all in one go. As soon as I got into making smoothies I realized how many different things you could add to boost them.”

4. She Does Yoga

Goulding loves to practice yoga to stay in shape. She tells The Cut, “There is a brilliant online yoga school called YogaGlo. For a monthly subscription you can take any class and you can choose the difficulty level and the duration. It’s perfect for someone always on the move.”

5. She Does HIIT

Goulding shared some of her exercise secrets in an interview with Shape. She says that she does a lot of high-intensity interval training. “[HIIT is] by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I come out of there feeling like something big just happened to my body, and I’m completely drained. Of all the workouts I've tried, this one has been the best for me.”
