Ellie Goulding is one of the celebrities who’s always keeping it 100% real, and she’s equally grounded when it comes to her workout routine. The British singer recently posted an empowering gym selfie and shared her tips for staying motivated at home.
Goulding kicked off her post by defending muscular women and those who enjoy taking gym selfies, explaining that they can be a great motivation booster.
“Nothing I do in the gym is for vanity. To me, it isn’t intimidating or scary to be strong… When posting gym photos, I only ever wanted to show that with all the things I’ve overcome, keeping fit and strong has been my ultimate escape,” wrote the singer.
Lack of extraordinary athletic abilities didn’t stop Goulding from staying committed to her fitness routine. She’s fully aware of how difficult it is to stay motivated when you’re working out from home, but she believes that training can have a positive effect on mental health—even if it’s just a walk or a jog.
