‘Getting physical really starts my day off right’
In a 2021 interview with Refinery29, Dua confessed that she loves to kick off her day with an intense workout session. The singer said, “Getting physical really starts my day off right. I also love to do yoga, Pilates, or strength training. I like to leave my cardio workout to dancing.” She works out via a Zoom call with her fitness trainer friend, or when she is feeling lazy and needs someone to get me motivated, her best friend Bunny comes over to train her.
Though the majority of her time is spent on tour, where she dedicates her time to dancing, Dua makes sure she adds in a workout session during the day. The singer keeps her tummy toned using a ‘variation of crunches and planks.’
She told Viva in a 2018 interview, “I try and work out as much as I can. I love doing something that’s really fast and quick, like a 15-minute HIIT session, which I can do before I start my day. If I’ve got a really early call time, I don’t want to be waking up hours before I need to go and do a workout. So [I do] a high-intensity workout, shower, breakfast, and I’m on my way.”
