With a new album, clothing line and acting job in the works, popstar Rita Ora has had one heck of a year.
In a cover story for SHAPE magazines April issue, the 26 -year-old dishes on how shes oversaw everything there is, and diet, exercise and mindset all played a crucial role.
This past year, Ive truly been on my play by feeing right and going to the gym, Ora told SHAPE. As a result, Im focused now, and I get a lot more done.
Ora uncovered shes changed her attitude toward exercise, and has started viewing movement as fun rather than a means to punish her body. To get her sweat on, she opts one to two hours of daily circuit educate, with squattings, weightlifting and cardio all in the mix.

Whereas she used to work out till she made herself sick, Ora told SHAPE she now exercises to get stronger and healthier , not thin.
I didnt start working out to get skinnier I started working out to feel better, Ora told the magazine. And I think its important for women to know that.
As for diet, Ora said she steers clear of bread and sugar, instead opting for lean protein, fish and veggies. That approach signals a clear break from Oras previous view on eating.
I used to be like, Im not feeing! she revealed to SHAPE. Eating isnt the problem, though. Its about what your body needs, and everyones body is different.

Ora also divulged her top role model: her parents, plus-size model Ashley Graham, and Jennifer Lopez. They provide her with the inspiration she needs to be her best self, she said.
When I need to motivate myself to work out, I look at pictures of women like Jennifer Lopez and Kate Beckinsale, she told SHAPE. They look incredible! If they can look like that, I have no excuse.
Still, Ora takes the time to indulge. Her vices? Wine and cheese.
I indulge once a few weeks, she told. But I dont go crazy.
She told SHAPE she loves her curves and thighs, and is proud of the way she looks.
“I’m a size 28 in jeans, ” she told the publication. “And thats an average , normal size. Im proud that Im normal.
