Ellie Goulding tells Shape inside its December 2015 issue that for her, working out is all about gaining muscle, not slimming down; read more here!

Not about that skinny life! Ellie Goulding may love to workout, but it isn’t about slimming down. 

“If getting stronger means getting more toned and slimmer, so be it, as long as strength comes with it,” Goulding, 28, tells Shape inside the December 2015 issue. “I’m happy with my figure. I never intended or tried to be skinny. It’s just not my thing.”

As for her workout of choice, the “Love Me Like You Do” singer is a fan of Barry’s Bootcamp. “I like it because you spend half the session running and half doing weight and floor work,” she shares. “It’s really good for endurance, and it keeps me super-focused.”

Taking to Instagram to gush about the experience, Goulding wrote, “I had the most wonderful time with these ladies and the whole of the Victoria’s Secret team. What a brilliant bunch of people. From the beautiful angels to behind the scenes, I can see why this is such a world renowned killer show. Special shoutout to [the show’s creative director] Sophia Neophitou, whom I adore…”

She added, “Thank you for having me @victoriassecret @Ed_Razek So much Love xxx”
