Doja is usually pretty quiet about her workout routine. However, she does post videos of herself at the gym on her Instagram stories. In this particular video series, Doja revealed that she does a lot of strength training workouts with her trainer. She is seen doing kettlebell squats, pushing a weight forward, doing leg curls, and tricep curls.

Doja has to do a lot of dancing in her career. She learns choreography for her music videos and live performances, and this is easy for her. Doja grew up dancing, and tells Dazed, "After moving from Oak Park around the age of eleven-and-a-half, I started to take up break dancing. I danced in a crew and competed around Los Angeles in organized underground cypher/battles."

While many people think that Doja is super confident with herself, she revealed to Cosmopolitan that she used to struggle with body dysmorphia, and still does on occasion. Doja says that she likes to use her music writing process as a way of helping herself with this, and specifically cites her song "Juicy" as a particularly helpful one. "Growing up, I definitely had body dysmorphia. Without a doubt. And I've had it since. It started in my teens, which I think is where it starts for a lot of people. I started really growing and I never really thought I looked good in a lot of the stuff I wore. I feel like that song [Juicy] was therapeutic for me. I kind of made it for myself – well, the meaning behind it, at least. I was kind of doing it for my own happiness and I feel like other people can definitely pull some joy from that, too."

Fame can be a difficult thing to deal with. However, Doja says to Cosmopolitan that she's used her rise to stardom as a way to look at herself and improve herself. "There's a good side to it, because I've had to correct myself a lot. I've had to grow up because of it, and I think it's helped me revaluate stuff and become a better person. When you get picked at a lot, and critiqued constantly because you're under a microscope, it's allowed me to trim off parts of myself that maybe weren't useful to me."

Doja has a large platform, and she wants to use it for good. She tells Cosmopolitan that speaking out and helping causes are important to her, and she wants to encourage others to do the same. "It doesn't matter if it's a public figure who's donating something, I just think thank God that there are people out there who want to help. I have family and friends and people that I care about who are affected by this. I just want to see a better future. There are people who have a lot, maybe too much, so it's good to give back."
