Ellie Goulding has admitted that returning to the gym after having a baby is a “whole new ball game”.
The singer-songwriter took to Instagram over the weekend to post a photo of herself posing in a black bikini while visiting a Miami beach in January 2020.
In the accompanying caption, Ellie noted that she was at her highest level of physical fitness at the time of the capture and had new fitness goals in her sights after the birth of her son Arthur in April.
“I feel strongest when I know that I can handle a lot of things, mentally and physically,” she began. “My new personal challenge is my state of mind and physical fitness after pregnancy, which I have already started and love – a whole new ball game! I have faced many challenges as a woman in the music industry – understanding how my body works and reacts, I did helped in many ways. “
Ellie went on to be inspired to write her upcoming book, titled Fitter. Quieter ones. Stronger., Last year after focusing on her mental and physical health, insisting that she would like to help others who have realized they are not “invincible” either.
“After feeling very uncomfortable about myself for a long time, I came to this place where I felt strong and happy, and also about the time when I decided to write about how I got there . I’m often asked how I spend my time when I’m not writing or on tour, “added the 34-year-old. “Granted, the vitamin D helped here … but it was mostly what I ate and how much sleep I got. Staying fit meant the rest of the time my sanity was good – I was productive, optimistic, and calm Bad news didn’t seem so bad – I could handle it. “
Fitter. Quieter ones. Stronger. should appear in September.
