Ellie Goulding: ‘Training Is Part Of My Life’; Burn Singer Seen In Grueling Workout

Sporting pink sports top and black shorts, Ellie Goulding, was spotted on Monday with her personal trainer in a London park a doing cardio and core muscle workout. Pictures of the Burn songstress published in Mail Online showed off her toned body as she performed her grueling workout in a wooden equipment.

The photos showed the 27-year old hitmaker with gloves climbing the steps of the equipment for her leg workout. Her gloves are meant to give her a surer grip while she climbs up and down. She is also intent in developing her core muscles and is seen trying her luck in climbing the rope ladder. For her cardio exercises, she is seen doing sprints and jogging with her trainer.

In an interview with Self Magazine, Goulding shares that exercise is very important for her success on stage. "My training is part of my life. It's something I need to do every day, because it affects my mood, my fitness, even my mind-set onstage."

The Grammy awardee further revealed to Style magazine more reasons why she loves to exercise. "I don't exercise to be thin. For me, the appeal has always been to be really fit and strong. I think a pair of powerful legs on a girl, or a bigger bum from doing squats, is so sexy."

In a recent performance on Friday at the Toronto International Film Festival, Ellie wore an eye-catching see-through, laced black dress with leotards underneath it exposing firm legs and arms as she performed popular tracks for the Canadian audience. Sources said that she wore a similar dress style in attending Sir Elton John's summer party in Windsor.

Ellie's change of wardrobe, from her modest gowns to see-through laced dresses stirs the curiosity of interviewers from QMI Agency. The singer, however, simply replied "I realized I was covering up quite a lot with gowns, like I love medieval gowns like Game Of Thrones (style). So I kind of got addicted to wearing dresses like that if I ever went to a like a formal thing. So, I'm kind of like, Oh, I need to do the opposite."

Said to have confidence issues in her childhood, the Lights singer also bared her toned body on a white bikini while she was having a romantic getaway in Ibiza with her rocker-boyfriend Dougie Poynter.
