Selena Gomez"s Odd Secrets To Staying Healthy

Selena Gomez has been very open about her health struggles in the past. She was diagnosed with lupus a few years ago, which lead to anxiety and depression struggles causing her to step away from the spotlight in the last few months. She accepted an award for Favorite Female Artist at the American Music Awards and gave a really emotional speech about her health. Now she’s opened up to ELLE about how she’s staying healthy and if we’re being honest, it’s pretty bizarre! 

Selena’s acceptance speech at this year’s American Music Awards had us in tears. She said, “I think it’s safe to say that most of you know a lot of my life—whether I liked it or not—and I had to stop. ’Cause I had everything, and I was absolutely broken inside.” She added, “If you are broken, then you do not have to stay broken.”

Staying as healthy as she can is really important to Selena, and she opened up to ELLE Magazine about how she does just that. 

She admitted that sticking to a strict gym schedule is just not her thing. “I’m horrible at discipline when it comes to working out. I’m one of those people who’s like, ‘Ah, I ran for five minutes. I think I’m good."”

You’re definitely not alone there girl. 

She brought her personal trainer, Amy Rosoff Davis, on the road with her, who is constantly giving her the motivation she needs when she’s just not feeling like exercising. 

“I wanted to be healthy; I wanted to feel good. I just wanted to make sure I was the best I could be for the show and for my fans,” she said.
