She Does Sharp Bursts Of Cardio
Ora tells Cosmopolitan that she isn't afraid of cardio exercises, like running. However, she prefers doing quick bursts of cardio. "If I run, I only run for about 10-15 minutes, if that. I'm really focused on being healthy rather than anything else."

Ora says that she doesn't pay attention to the scale, and that her workouts aren't centered on losing weight. "I'm not the skinniest person in the world but I don't try to be," says Ora to Cosmopolitan. "I'm more focused on toning rather than trying to be skinny, which I feel everyone should try, because that comes more naturally."
She Doesn't Forget About Her Lower Body
Ora tells Stylecaster.com that she doesn't skip leg day. In fact, she says that she puts a lot of focus on working out her lower body.
