In an interview with Health, Rexha opened up about her health and wellness. She says that her workout routine is all about variety. Rexha and her trainer like to mix up what type of exercise they do each day. “One day we’ll do yoga; one day we’ll do Pilates,” she said. “We can run one day or box, which is my favorite.”””
Rexha has a busy schedule and has to travel all over the world. You’d think that she wouldn’t have time to workout when she’s on the road. However, she tells Health that she makes time for exercise when she travels. “When I go to different places, I’ll try to run or go to the gym—or I’ll take cycling classes or boxing classes wherever I am.”
Rexha is all about staying true to herself. She tells Health that she has ignored the advice other music executives have given her, as she wants to be as authentic as possible. “I’ve never followed that ‘play the game’ thing. I’ve just been myself. I’ve had people tell me, ‘That’s why you’re not as big as you could be’—which is fine. You don’t tell me what to do—you cannot judge me or put me in a box or tell me how I need to look.”
Rexha is open about her struggles with her body. She says that she has felt pressure to lose weight in the past. However, she is working on being happy with herself and her body. “I see pop stars who are super thin,” she says to Health. “I could definitely get there. I’ve done it before, where I was 120-something pounds—and I was just miserable. I was always cold, never eating; I had no ass. Now I look at those pictures like, ‘Oh my God, I was so skinny.’ But I wouldn’t go back there. Even for this shoot…a lot of people would probably kill themselves working out. I’ve been not eating perfect or starving myself—I had chicken Parmesan the other night, Thai food the night before. I’ve just been enjoying my life. Then I was kind of bummed because I weighed myself. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, dammit, I gained, like, six pounds, and I have my Health shoot!’ But then I was like, ‘You know what, when will I ever be ready?’ That’s just nonsense. I think you have to do what’s best for you.”
Rexha is also open about her struggles with her mental health. She tells SELF that her way of coping with the bad times is by finding humor in the situation. “It’s important for me to laugh at myself sometimes, and also spread information, and normalize it, because it makes me feel better instead of writing a sobby ballad. Which you totally could do—there’s not anything wrong with that. But I like to be sarcastic about things sometimes. It takes away the pain and the hurt.”
