Ellie Goulding shows off her incredible physique in a crop top as she works out

Ellie Goulding has admitted she ‘can never be bothered to work out.’

Sharing a video of herself working up a sweat during an intense session on Monday, the singer confessed that while she tries to hit the gym most mornings, she has to ‘force’ herself.

Ellie wowed in the video, showing off her toned abs in a crop top and leggings as she performed squats.

The chart-topping star flaunted her muscles in her lime green sports bra teamed with black leggings as she worked hard in her home gym, during another day of self isolation during the coronavirus crisis. 

‘Make no mistake I can never be bothered to work out but I force myself most mornings especially now there is literally no excuse,’ she captioned the video. 

Ellie recently revealed how her addiction to exercise took over her life. 

The singer, 33, candidly spoke about how she felt she had to go to the gym everyday and would miss out on going to the studio or skip writing sessions to workout. 

Ellie revealed it was her former Olympic rower husband Caspar Jopling who helped her overcome her addiction as she took a step back from touring. 

‘I don’t consider myself to have an addictive personality but I felt as though I did at one point have a gym addiction that was just not fun, I felt I had to go to the gym every single day,’ Ellie told The Sun. 

‘I don’t know whether it was a survival thing, because ­touring was so tiring, so hard, really taxing on your body and your mental health.

‘I felt as though it was a ­survival instinct to be working out all the time, making sure I was super fit, super healthy and tried to counteract having drinks on tour and perhaps not eating very well.’

Last year, Ellie revealed she nearly quit music for good after 10 years of touring left her with crippling anxiety. 

Ellie took a four-year hiatus after her 2015 album but Caspar, 28, helped her ‘rediscover’ her passion and create a healthy relationship with exercise.  

Ellie said she saw ‘touring as real life’ but felt really ‘inspired by Caspar’s ‘amazing willpower and determination’.
