Rita Ora Shares Swimsuit Photo "Playing it All Back"

Rita Ora is now an iconic singer and TV host and personality. She’s appeared on shows like The Masked Singer UK and America’s Next Top Model. And she's often seen on the side of her hubby, director Taika Waititi. Ora recently shared a new set of photos on Instagram. In the first photo, she sat on a rock by a river, while wearing a black swimsuit. Ora captioned the post, “Playing it all back.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Rita Ora stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Doesn’t Expect Immediate Results

Ora opened up about her diet and workout secrets in an interview with Shape. She says that she has learned to not expect results right away. “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. 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."

2. She Circuit Trains

Ora shared her favorite workouts in her Shape interview. "I do circuit training,” she says. “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.”

3. She’s Not Obsessed With Being Thin

Ora opened up about her body image to Shape. She says that when she works out, she’s not aiming to lose weight. "I'm not going to lie and say I was completely happy with my body before. 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. 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."

4. She Eats Half Portion

While Ora wants to eat healthy, she also still likes to indulge in her favorite foods. She tells Cosmopolitan that when she indulges, she watches her portions. "I watch what I eat but I just cut my portions in half," Ora explains. "So if I want a burger I'll just cut it in half and eat half of it. That or I'll take the bread off and only eat the burger. Or if I want fries then I won't have a burger to go with them."

5. She Eats Healthy

Ora shared some of her favorite healthy foods in her Cosmopolitan interview. "I travel a lot so it's hard to have a regime. I have smoothies in the morning. I also have eggs – I'm a pro at breakfast. For lunch I'll have some salmon and chicken and for dinner I love truffle! I'll have broccoli pasta, truffle pasta or pizza."

It's a happy Sunday for Rita Ora, who posed in a photo with friends while she wore a swimsuit. The singer/actress loves getting her Vitamin D, often posing in the sun, when not on the red carpet with her partner Taika Waititi. (If you haven't listened to her album Phoenix, check it out.)

1. She Loves Performing

“Performing is one of my favorite parts of my job. I love the energy of the crowds, moving around the stage and interacting with my band. I don’t really get nervous anymore—I just get really excited. I have an insane amount of energy before I hit the stage. I do a lot of stretching and vocal exercises to get myself centered and both physically and mentally prepared, and then I’m ready to go!” she told W.

2. She Wears This Mask

“I have combination skin, and unfortunately am prone to breaking out if I do a lot of appearances in a row or if I’m on tour. It’s super important for me to use products that are soothing. La Mer has an incredible skincare line that really helps keep my skin looking fresh. I’m also a big fan of using a light therapy face mask, which helps to kill bacteria and calms inflammation,” she told W.

3. She Takes Vitamin C

“Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin that supports growth and development. It also helps your body absorb iron. Because your body doesn't make or store vitamin C, it's important to include vitamin C in your diet,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Most people can get enough vitamin C for the day in their food. An orange or a cup of strawberries, chopped red pepper or broccoli provides enough vitamin C for the day. The recommended daily amount for vitamin C is 75 milligrams (mg) a day for women and 90 mg a day for men. During pregnancy, 120 mg a day are recommended. The upper limit for all adults is 2,000 mg a day.”

4. This is What She Does to Indulge Herself

“To indulge and treat myself, I’ve definitely been doing a lot of online shopping. [I've] discovered things I wouldn’t usually buy, but actually work really well, like overall jumpers. I wear them over my button-up shirts, which I never really used to do before, but I’m obsessed with at the moment. I’ve also been indulging myself with a lot of skin care and a lot of self-love in the mirror,” she told the Zoe Report.

5. Here’s Her Take on Fashion

"For me, every day I wake up feeling like, 'OK, what do I want to conquer today?' and that helps me get dressed," Ora told TZR. "I always wear a tight pair of pants to make myself feel really sexy and feminine. Ones I recently discovered and I can't take off are the [Maison] Margiela shiny pants. They're high-waisted and they make your legs look super long."

Rita Ora is giving her fans a glimpse into her long, hot summer. “Do you ever feel like summer is done when it’s September?

1. She Does HIIT Style Workouts

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."

Rita Ora, the British singer-songwriter, lives the glam life, performing at concerts and going to awards shows and movie premieres—and recently, she looked happy lazing in the sun in a swimsuit. “Thank you so much @etchrealestate for looking after me in Sydney and making me feel so at home!!! 💕❤️😊 #ambassador #etchbrandambassador #etchrealestate #sydney #topagent,” she captioned a new swimsuit pic.

1. This is Her Morning Wellness Routine

“I won’t lie: I’m a fan of the snooze button, so I like to do a little extra sleeping whenever I can. After I wake up, I do some light stretching just to get myself going and then I like to do affirmations. I think it’s really important to start the day off with positive energy. I usually do all that before my morning skincare, and then it’s off to breakfast! I would say the most important part of my wellness routine is not going straight to my phone in the morning. I like to take my time and really get myself centered before I go into work mode. After breakfast, I shower and then head to the gym for cardio and weights,” she told W.

2. This is Her Take on Training

“What I've learned is that you can take your time with training,” Rita told Shape. “You don't have to beat yourself up as long as you get in the workouts that you need. 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.”

3. Here’s What She Eats

"In the morning, I have two boiled eggs, asparagus, and half a cup of muesli with almond milk," she told Shape. "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. Plus snacks. I don't eat bread or sugar."

4. This is What She Does for Her Skin
