If you’re one of Rita Ora’s (caj) 16.1 million followers, you’ll know she’s passionate about her fitness. If she’s not training with Rebel Wilson’s PT Jono Castano, she shares videos of herself crashing a reformer Pilates class. Either way, she’s one of *those* people who make it look easy. Add to that the fact that her busy schedule makes ours feel like a life of leisure, and we were eager to discover her secrets that she was very willing to share. Here’s everything she does to stay as fit and strong as possible.
1. It makes exercise easier

If there’s one thing that’s going to help you stay consistent, it’s making your workouts as easily accessible as possible. For Rita, that means taking her home gym equipment with her wherever she goes. “I always travel with 1kg and 2kg dumbbells, ankle weights and a medium resistance band,” she says W.H.. “If I can’t exercise, I just use the ankle weights and wear them when we’re in town or at home.”
She also just announced the launch of her (awesome) new line of activewear, Humans Being, which is sure to help find the motivation to work out.
2. She’s consistent, but she doesn’t overdo it

Her regular post-workout Instagram photos are proof that Rita receives frequent fitness patches, but she knows there’s a fine line between exercising for fun and overindulging, telling W.H. that she trains a maximum of “four times a week”. Rest days are everything, folks; between encouraging muscle growth and helping you stay motivated, there is plenty of scientific evidence to back up the fact that they will work in your favor. Now you also have Rita’s word.

“I could go to the gym three times a week and then I’ll definitely do a Pilates class, so it’s not always weights,” she says. It’s about finding what works for you, what you like, and switching up your routine whenever you want. You could do three races one week and then decide you couldn’t think of anything worse the next, and that’s totally fine.
4. She knows fitness isn’t one size fits all.

During our conversation, Rita makes it clear that what works for her may not work for you. “I can only speak for myself,” she said. “I’m not the one telling everyone, ‘I’m the new know-it-all health guru,’ because I’m not. This is exactly what worked for me. You heard the woman.
5. She goes hard on hydration

When asked what has made the biggest difference in her fitness routine, Rita replied, “What has made a drastic difference over the last three or four months is that I have drank a liter and a half, maybe two liters of water a day.’ See Water is truly the elixir of life.
6. She adapts her diet to suit her
Over the years, Rita has figured out which meal sizes work best for her body. Now, she says, “I have a light breakfast, a heavy lunch, then a light dinner.” Remember: Rita’s body is entirely different from yours, and the way she structures her meals may not suit yours.
BRB, on my way to buy some ankle weights.
