Selena Gomez Truly Hates Working Out; ‘It Is Not Fun’
Celebrities, they’re just like us! Selena Gomez may be one of the most famous faces on the globe, but parts of her life are still plenty relatable. Unlike some celebrities, who like working out multiple times a day (looking at you Adele), Gomez doesn’t particularly enjoy exercising. However, the Only Murders in the Building star still finds time to prioritize fitness.
While Gomez understands the physical benefits of exercise, she utilizes fitness to maintain good mental health also. Throughout the years, the “Rare” singer has used her platform to help destigmatize mental health. Her cosmetics brand, Rare Beauty, has started the Rare Impact Fund, which pledges to raise $100 million over a 10 year period. This money will help people access mental health services.
Selena Gomez reveals how she takes care of her mental health
Recently, Gomez also partnered with her mother, Mandy Teefey, and Daniella Pierson and founded a mental fitness company called Wondermind. In a video, for Wondermind, the Selena + Chef star revealed how she takes care of her mind.
“Sometimes I’m not good at it, like it just happens where I’ll just wake up and I struggle, you know, maybe sometimes just getting out of bed,” Gomez shared candidly. The Wizards of Waverly Place alum also revealed that calling a loved one for support helps her to take care of her mental health. Furthermore, the actor shared that being informed about what she’s going through helps a great deal also.
How fitness helps the ‘Boyfriend’ singer manage her frustration
“I constantly try to fill myself with knowledge of what it is that I am feeling and the triggers that happen to me,” Gomez continued. “So I think what really helps me understand myself a bit more is that I can take a step back and think of all the tools I’ve learned and try to implement them in my everyday life. That’s usually what helps me.”
Lastly, Gomez championed fitness as a way to take care of herself. However, she admitted that working out was far from her favorite thing to do. “Also, I suggest working out,” Gomez declared. “I hate working out, it is not fun, but I’ve been doing like intense boxing classes recently, and it has really helped me get a lot of frustration but also just energy out, and it feels so good.”
Gomez takes boxing classes at Rumble
There are plenty of places for people to go if they’re interested in boxing. However, Gomez seems to be a fan of Rumble. Rumble is a popular workout that combines boxing skills and drills with resistance training. A typical Rumble workout includes 10 rounds of boxing, high-intensity interval training, strength training, and metabolic conditioning.
“@erikaannhammond thanks for kicking my a**,” Gomez captioned a photo of herself after completing a workout at Rumble. Erika Hammond is a member of the founding team at Rumble and is the trainer who put Gomez through the paces. Gomez might not be a big fan of working out, but the smile she’s wearing in the photo certainly makes it seem like the endorphins are well worth it.
