She’s known for her songs like “Lights”, “Love Me Like You Do”, “Anything Could Happen”, and “On My Mind.” Goulding shared some new photos on Instagram this week. In them, she wades in the water, goes on a hike, and picks flowers. Goulding wrote in the post’s caption, “Nature Heals.” How does she stay so fit? 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.”
