Ellie Goulding Fitness and Nutrition Tips
If you’re wondering about Goulding’s weight loss secrets—for Goulding, it’s less about losing weight and more about exercising and eating right to have a healthy lifestyle.
In an interview with Look magazine, Goulding admitted she wasn’t always the strong woman we see today. Before she began working out she didn’t have much of a shape. But a strict exercise regimen and a healthy vegan diet has transformed the 28-year-old’s mind and body.
According to the Look interview, Goulding follows the hour long ‘Barry’s Bootcamp’ workout class, which involves mat work and running on the treadmill. Goulding’s running workouts are pretty intense— she enjoys running so much that she often competes in half marathons. She apparently even gets in extra workouts by running to the gym (a 25-minute trek!)
Goulding’s trainer, Faisal Abdalla, suggests that the key to Goulding’s six-pack is a move known as the six touch plank—it consists of getting into a push-up position, lifting one hand off the ground and touching your opposite shoulder. Repeat six times.
