She Does Circuit Training

Just like she finds her rhythm in the recording studio, she does the same in the gym. "I do circuit training. I usually work out for one or two hours, depending on how much time I have," Rita said. "I do three circuits and repeat that three times. I mostly focus on my thighs and my bum, so I do a lot of squats and weight lifting. And I do one circuit of cardio."

It's ok to need a little fitness inspiration every now and then. "Sometimes it's hard," Ora admits. "I don't just wake up and run to the gym. When I need to motivate myself to work out, I look at pictures of women like Jennifer Lopez and Kate Beckinsale. They look incredible! If they can look like that, I have no excuse."

She gives herself a break from the high strung regimen. "I'm such a sucker for cheese and wine," Rita said. "I was just shooting a movie in Italy, and the pastas, the cheeses, the wine-ooh! Obviously I had to have all that good stuff. Now I indulge once a week. But I don't go crazy."

Rita definitely knows how to push herself in the gym, but she used to push herself too much and has now found a happy middle ground. "What I've learned is that you can take your time with training. You don't have to beat yourself up as long as you get in the workouts that you need," Rita said. "I used to push myself until I felt sick. But I'm approaching it differently now. I enjoy working out. And I like the aftermath-that feeling of contentment."

Eat what makes you feel good and what nourishes your body. "With the plan I'm on, you can eat quite a bit as long as you exercise," Rita said. "In the morning, I have two boiled eggs, asparagus, and half a cup of muesli with almond milk. For lunch, I have chicken or fish with vegetables, and for dinner, I have six to eight ounces of fish with vegetables and half a potato," she continued. "Plus snacks. I don't eat bread or sugar. But I'm not starving myself. I used to be like, 'I'm not eating!' Eating isn't the problem, though. It's about what your body needs, and everyone's body is different.

Strength has always been a priority to her over being stick thin. "I'm not going to lie and say I was completely happy with my body before," Rita admits. "I knew I could change a few things to improve my stamina, especially onstage. I didn't start working out to get skinnier-I started working out to feel better." She wants to send a message to not feel obsessed with becoming thin, but encourages others to be dedicated to becoming healthy and strong. "I love my shape because it's curvy. I have thighs. I'm a size 28 in jeans. And that's an average, normal size. I'm proud that I'm normal."
