’Im safe in the knowledge I can fight,’ Ellie Goulding tells healthy; just in case we were offering her out. Forget the three hit albums, the globally successful Fifty Shades Of Grey soundtrack single, that John Lewis advert song, andnot to mention being the favourite singer of the future King of England – it turns out it’s being able to kick butt in a boxing class that the taut and toned 29-year-old singer-songwriter really wants people to know about. ‘
I like to promote women being fit and strong,’ continues Ellie. ‘I don’t post boxing videos online to show off – I want to inspire girls to think they can do a boxing class, too. I’m very real about my body and honest about what I do to keep it. I don’t starve myself – I eat a lot and I train.’ She adds, ‘Being fit doesn’t mean being skinny or slim – it just means being fit, and that’s the most important thing. A healthy life.’
