Rita works out with with personal trainer Jono Castano who told the Daily Mail that the two often divide up body parts throughout the week “We might focus on HIIT cardio training in the first half of the week, then core and upper body in the middle, and lower body at the end," he said.
2. She Goes to Therapy
Rita revealed to The Independent that she’s been in therapy since the age of 17. “I still go to therapy,” says Ora. “I had my therapist on the phone with me today, at midday. We were talking for an hour. I don’t know how I could function without therapy.” It’s a topic she’s included in the lyrics to a new song she’s been recording recently. She recites it for me. “You can’t move forward without learning how to forgive/ I went through therapy…” She stops and starts to hum the melody to remember the line. “I went through therapy to learn how to heal...”
3. She Does AMRAP Workouts
Rita is a fan of AMRAP (as many reps as possible) workouts. Her trainer Wade Farmer shared a clip of her workout on his Instagram Story in which she tackles three moves. The exercise method is great for keeping your heartrate up and challenging you to get in as many reps as possible in the given time.
4. She Does Circuit Training

Rita told Shape that she also does circuit training. “I usually work out for one or two hours, depending on how much time I have. 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."
5. She Works Out to Feel Better

Rita has a healthy motivation to stay in shape. "I didn't start working out to get skinnier. I started working out to feel better,” she told Shape, “And I think it's important for women to know that. Don't be obsessed with being thin. You just have to be fit, healthy, and strong."
